Hi, We have been using lucene for years and it serves us well.
Sometimes when we issue a query, we only what to know how many hits it leads, not want any docs back. Is it possible to completely avoid score calculation to get total count back? I understand score calculation needs a loop for all matched docs, can we avoid the loop, surely this is for performance. We want to achieve getting total count at O(1), independent of the number of Docs? Thanks very much for helps, Lisheng --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
