Adrien Grand commented on LUCENE-8060:
--------------------------------------
Mike just fixed nightly benchmarks so that we can see the impact on this
change: http://people.apache.org/~mikemccand/lucenebench/. Results are very
promising with most queries including exact phrases and fuzzy queries getting a
significant speedup. On the other hand, nested boolean queries had a
performance regression so I opened LUCENE-8448.

> We are getting optimizations when hit counts are not required (sorted
> indexes, MAXSCORE, short-circuiting of phrase queries) but our users won't
> benefit from them unless we disable exact hit counts by default or we require
> them to tell us whether hit counts are required.
> I think making hit counts approximate by default is going to be a bit trappy,
> so I'm rather leaning towards requiring users to tell us explicitly whether
> they need total hit counts. I can think of two ways to do that: either by
> passing a boolean to the IndexSearcher constructor or by adding a boolean to
> all methods that produce TopDocs instances. I like the latter better but I'm
> open to discussion or other ideas?
