David Smiley commented on LUCENE-4574:
--------------------------------------
I don't have any conviction on what the right answer should be; this area of
Lucene is not one I've explored before. If scorer.score() is cheap in general
(is it?), then I can see your reservations. Perhaps the solution is to only
cache specific Scorers that are or could be expensive. So for me this means
adding the cache at FunctionQuery$AllScorer. This cache is as lightweight as a
cache can possibly be, remember; no hashtable lookup, just a docid comparison
with branch.
bq. Also: can we speed up this particular query? why is its score so costly?
It's a FunctionQuery tied to a ValueSource doing spatial distance. Applying
this very simple cache on my custom ValueSource cut my response time in nearly
a half!

> I was working on a custom ValueSource and did some basic profiling and
> debugging to see if it was being used optimally. To my surprise, the value
> was being fetched twice per document in a row. This computation isn't
> exactly cheap to calculate so this is a big problem. I was able to
> work-around this problem trivially on my end by caching the last value with
> corresponding docid in my FunctionValues implementation.
> Here is an excerpt of the code path to the first execution:
> {noformat}
> at
> org.apache.lucene.queries.function.docvalues.DoubleDocValues.floatVal(DoubleDocValues.java:48)
> at
> org.apache.lucene.queries.function.FunctionQuery$AllScorer.score(FunctionQuery.java:153)
> at
> org.apache.lucene.search.TopFieldCollector$OneComparatorScoringMaxScoreCollector.collect(TopFieldCollector.java:291)

> org.apache.lucene.search.IndexSearcher.search(IndexSearcher.java:588)
> at
> org.apache.lucene.search.IndexSearcher.search(IndexSearcher.java:280)
> {noformat}
> And here is the 2nd call:
> {noformat}
> at
> org.apache.lucene.queries.function.docvalues.DoubleDocValues.floatVal(DoubleDocValues.java:48)
> at
> org.apache.lucene.queries.function.FunctionQuery$AllScorer.score(FunctionQuery.java:153)
> at
> org.apache.lucene.search.ScoreCachingWrappingScorer.score(ScoreCachingWrappingScorer.java:56)
> at
> org.apache.lucene.search.FieldComparator$RelevanceComparator.copy(FieldComparator.java:951)
> at
> org.apache.lucene.search.TopFieldCollector$OneComparatorScoringMaxScoreCollector.collect(TopFieldCollector.java:312)
> at org.apache.lucene.search.Scorer.score(Scorer.java:62)
> at
> org.apache.lucene.search.IndexSearcher.search(IndexSearcher.java:588)
> at
> org.apache.lucene.search.IndexSearcher.search(IndexSearcher.java:280)
> {noformat}
> The 2nd call appears to use some score caching mechanism, which is all well
> and good, but that same mechanism wasn't used in the first call so there's no
> cached value to retrieve.
