Grant Ingersoll commented on LUCENE-991:
----------------------------------------

Hi Peter, 

Couple comments.  #1 makes sense, except the super.score() part, the score from 
the other part of the matching is handled by the nonPayloadExpl part.  I do 
agree it should check for zero on payloadsSeen, though, and have added that.

I don't think I am understanding the issue with #2 above.  I am not sure the 
test is correct.  The results[0] being passed into the checkHitCollector say 
you expect Document 0 to be a match, but this can't be since the boost is 0, 
therefore there are no results.  This can be seen by running the query against 
the search without the explain, as in:
TopDocs hits = searcher.search(query, null, 100);
assertTrue("hits Size: " + hits.totalHits + " is not: " + 0, hits.totalHits == 
0);

Or, perhaps I am missing something?  I guess I don't see why the boost part 
needs to be in there?  Can't you have a test that has no payloads?

> There are a couple of minor bugs in BoostingTermQuery.explain().
> 1. The computation of average payload score produces NaN if no payloads were 
> found. It should probably be:
> float avgPayloadScore = super.score() * (payloadsSeen > 0 ? (payloadScore / 
> payloadsSeen) : 1);
> 2. If the average payload score is zero, the value of the explanation is 0:
> result.setValue(nonPayloadExpl.getValue() * avgPayloadScore);
> If the query is part of a BooleanClause, this results in:
> "no match on required clause..."
> "failure to meet condition(s) of required/prohibited clause(s)"
> The average payload score can be zero if the field boost = 0.
> I've attached a patch to 'TestBoostingTermQuery.java', however, the test 
> 'testNoPayload' fails in 'SpanScorer.score()' because the doc = -1. It looks 
> like 'setFreqCurrentDoc() should have been called before 'score()'. Maybe 
> someone more knowledgable of spans could investigate this.
