Thanks for the reply and suggestion. If I search for term A and term B with
a BooleanQuery in Lucene, normally Lucene returns documents that have a
match of both A and B. Now I am using payload to vary the scores w.r.t
search of term A and search of term B, so it is possible for example a
document has both match of term A and term B, but only the score for term A
is 0. In this case, I want Lucene does not return this document  at all.
However the internal ConjunctionScorer will just sum up the scores returned
by both subquery of A and B, thus the document has a score > 0 returned by
the BooleanQuery, and therefore it cannot be filtered by a
PositiveScoreOnlyCollector. I know hacking into ConjunctionScorer probably
is too intrusive, but wondering if there is a better way to achieve the
same effect ?
