> Currently there are 3 mechanisms to control # of hits for a query
> * Use of the _timeAllowed_ query parameter - Though this does not directly
> control the number of hits, it has a similar effect with the collector
> terminating after the specified time budget has exceeded. The primary
> objective of this switch is to control runaway queries.
> * Use of {{{}segmentTerminateEarly{}}}{\{ __ }}parameter - This parameter is
> only applicable for sorted segments where the sort criteria requested matches
> the sort criteria used in the SortingMergePolicy
> * Use of cpuAllowed parameter to put upper bound on cpu time for a query.
>
> I would like to propose a new _maxHits_ parameter. This parameter early
> terminates the query once it has gone past the provided number of hits per
> shard.
> For us the motivation for such a parameter is the following:
> Our search is extremely latency sensitive and the query set is a mix of very
> high frequency tokens where we favor fast recall and typical search queries
> where we favor precision at low latency. The former can be thought of as a
> search as you type use case and we want to ensure that we return the results
> quickly and just go over enough documents we plan to control via the maxHits
> parameter. We can't use a sorted index for our use case because the sort
> criteria is a ranking function which is based off document features and the
> user input.
> With the maxHits parameter, it is quite likely that the results returned
> might not be the most relevant ones, however that is acceptable for us.
