URL: https://github.com/apache/lucene-solr/pull/1978


   # Description
   `SpanWeight#explain` uses `Similarity.SimScorer` to generate explanations, 
and may fail with NullPointerException when scoring is not needed and thus 
`Similarity.SimScorer` is set to null, such as matching for must not occur span 
query.
   
   # Solution
   The solution is to check for null `Similarity.SimScorer` in 
`SpanWeight#explain`, and provides alternative explanation.
   
   # Tests
   Added 1 integration test to `TestMemoryIndex` that was broken before the fix.
