Michael McCandless updated LUCENE-1575:
---------------------------------------

    Attachment: LUCENE-1575.patch

Attached patch; only differences are:

  * Under contrib/benchmark I made changes so you can specify non-scoring field 
sorting

  * Fixed the rename of TestTimeLimitedCollector --> Limiting to be 
patch-friendly

OK I ran performance with score tracking disabled during field sorted search:

||query||sort||hits||qps||qpsnew||pctg||
|147|title|   6953|2915.7|4043.3| 38.7%|
|147|doc|   6953|3265.6|4840.1| 48.2%|
|text|title| 157101|  97.0| 128.0| 32.0%|
|text|doc| 157101| 174.3| 273.2| 56.7%|
|1|title| 565452|  44.6|  60.2| 35.0%|
|1|doc| 565452|  49.2|  75.3| 53.0%|
|1 OR 2|title| 784928|  12.6|  14.8| 17.5%|
|1 OR 2|doc| 784928|  13.0|  15.2| 16.9%|
|1 AND 2|title| 333153|  14.8|  17.9| 20.9%|
|1 AND 2|doc| 333153|  15.2|  18.9| 24.3%|

Very nice speedups!  We just have to figure out why the score-tracking variant 
got slower...

> This issue is a result of a recent discussion we've had on the mailing list. 
> You can read the thread 
> [here|http://www.nabble.com/Is-TopDocCollector%27s-collect()-implementation-correct--td22557419.html].
> We have agreed to do the following refactoring:
> * Rename MultiReaderHitCollector to Collector, with the purpose that it will 
> be the base class for all Collector implementations.
> * Deprecate HitCollector in favor of the new Collector.
> * Introduce new methods in IndexSearcher that accept Collector, and deprecate 
> those that accept HitCollector.
> ** Create a final class HitCollectorWrapper, and use it in the deprecated 
> methods in IndexSearcher, wrapping the given HitCollector.
> ** HitCollectorWrapper will be marked deprecated, so we can remove it in 3.0, 
> when we remove HitCollector.
> ** It will remove any instanceof checks that currently exist in IndexSearcher 
> code.
> * Create a new (abstract) TopDocsCollector, which will:
> ** Leave collect and setNextReader unimplemented.
> ** Introduce protected members PriorityQueue and totalHits.
> ** Introduce a single protected constructor which accepts a PriorityQueue.
> ** Implement topDocs() and getTotalHits() using the PQ and totalHits members. 
> These can be used as-are by extending classes, as well as be overridden.
> ** Introduce a new topDocs(start, howMany) method which will be used a 
> convenience method when implementing a search application which allows paging 
> through search results. It will also attempt to improve the memory 
> allocation, by allocating a ScoreDoc[] of the requested size only.
> * Change TopScoreDocCollector to extend TopDocsCollector, use the topDocs() 
> and getTotalHits() implementations as they are from TopDocsCollector. The 
> class will also be made final.
> * Change TopFieldCollector to extend TopDocsCollector, and make the class 
> final. Also implement topDocs(start, howMany).
> * Change TopFieldDocCollector (deprecated) to extend TopDocsCollector, 
> instead of TopScoreDocCollector. Implement topDocs(start, howMany)
> * Review other places where HitCollector is used, such as in Scorer, 
> deprecate those places and use Collector instead.
> Additionally, the following proposal was made w.r.t. decoupling score from 
> collect():
> * Change collect to accecpt only a doc Id (unbased).
> * Introduce a setScorer(Scorer) method.
> * If during collect the implementation needs the score, it can call 
> scorer.score().
> If we do this, then we need to review all places in the code where 
> collect(doc, score) is called, and assert whether Scorer can be passed. Also 
> this raises few questions:
> * What if during collect() Scorer is null? (i.e., not set) - is it even 
> possible?
> * I noticed that many (if not all) of the collect() implementations discard 
> the document if its score is not greater than 0. Doesn't it mean that score 
> is needed in collect() always?
> Open issues:
> * The name for Collector
> * TopDocsCollector was mentioned on the thread as TopResultsCollector, but 
> that was when we thought to call Colletor ResultsColletor. Since we decided 
> (so far) on Collector, I think TopDocsCollector makes sense, because of its 
> TopDocs output.
> * Decoupling score from collect().
> I will post a patch a bit later, as this is expected to be a very large 
> patch. I will split it into 2: (1) code patch (2) test cases (moving to use 
> Collector instead of HitCollector, as well as testing the new topDocs(start, 
> howMany) method.
> There might be even a 3rd patch which handles the setScorer thing in 
> Collector (maybe even a different issue?)
