Shai Erera updated LUCENE-1575:
-------------------------------
Attachment: LUCENE-1575.9.patch
* Adds the ScoringNoMaxScore collectors
* Adds some tests to TestSort in order to test that functionality
* Fixes a bug which existed since this issue - when maxScore is set to
Float.NaN, Math.max always returns NaN. Therefore I set the ScoringMaxScore
collectors to set it to NEG_INF (to accommodate scorers which assign negative
scores to documents).
* Added "nomaxscore" property to SearchWithSortTask.
* Changed ReadTask.doLogic() to always use search(Query, Collector). The reason
is that currently if scoring is set to true, it uses the default search method,
however in 3.0 that method will be changed to not compute scores, and we might
forget to change the logic in ReadTask.
BTW, I wonder if we can replace the call to Math.max with just 'if (score >
maxScore)'? Looking at Math.max, it checks if the fist parameter is NaN (which
I assume Scorer.score() will not return), and then if both equal 0.0f returns
their sum, otherwise returns the biggest. Calling this method is quite
expensive, and I think we will be safe with replacing it with 'if', however now
that maxScore is decoupled as well, only the trackMaxScore collectors will
suffer from it ....
Anyway, I added a TODO in case we don't want to change it now.

> 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?)
