atris commented on issue #823: LUCENE-8939: Introduce Shared Count Early Termination In Parallel Search URL: https://github.com/apache/lucene-solr/pull/823#issuecomment-527284505 > https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-8681 I am not sure I see how that solves the problem? The core change targeted in this PR is allowing `TOTAL_HITS_THRESHOLD` to be accurately counted across all slices. Today, we collect `TOTAL_HITS_THRESHOLD` per slice, which is not what the API definition is. Post this PR, we will collect `TOTAL_HITS_THRESHOLD` in aggregate. `TOTAL_HITS_THRESHOLD`' s definition does not guarantee any order of collection of hits in the concurrent case -- we inadvertently define one today by collection the threshold number of hits per slice. RE: Proration, I believe that is a custom logic that can be added on top of this change. In any case, the proration logic also works on a bunch of static values + fudge factors, so it can go wrong and we might end up collecting lesser hits from a more valuable segment. To help prevent this scenario, I believe proration might also do well to build upon this PR and use the shared counter. But, I am unable to see why proration and accurate counting across slices are mutually exclusive. In any case, unlike proration, this PR does not propose any algorithmic changes to the way collection is done -- it simply reduces extra work done across slices that we do not even advertise today, so might be something that the user is unaware of.
