Joel Bernstein updated SOLR-16931:
----------------------------------
    Description: 
The ReRankScaler collects specific information for the explain when debugQuery 
is set to true. But the parameter *debug=query* doesn't trigger the collection 
of this data which causes an NPE in the explain.

The work around is to always use debugQuery=true until this ticket is resolved 
and released.

It turned out that this ticket had two problems. The first one is described 
above. The second issue is that distributed explain is broken with the 
ReRankScaler.

The reason for this is that in order to do proper explain for minMaxScaling you 
need to know the min and max score in the result set. This piece of state is 
maintained in the ReRankScaler itself which is inside of the ReRankQuery. But 
for this information to be populated the query must first be run. In 
distributed mode, explain is called in the second pass when the ids query is 
run so the state needed for the explain is not populated. The PR attached to 
this addresses this problem by doing a single pass distributed query if 
debugQuery is turned on and if reRank score scaling is applied. I'll add a 
distributed test for this as well.

This change is very limited in scope because the single pass distributed is 
only switched on in the very specific case when debugQuery=true and 
reRankScaling is on.
