Hi All, please bear with me for a couple questions on distributed searches.
I have some code at hand that is scoring results - also from remote servers - in the application itself. I'd like to investigate how hard it would be to fold the re-scoring back into Lucene, so that individual shards only need to transmit the documents that are strictly necessary. I've looked around Lucene (6.x) and understood that this https://lucene.apache.org/core/6_5_0/core/org/apache/lucene/search/TopDocs.html#merge-org.apache.lucene.search.Sort-int-org.apache.lucene.search.TopFieldDocs:A operation would help in this case. Or would one use https://lucene.apache.org/core/6_5_0/core/org/apache/lucene/search/TwoPhaseIterator.html to provide proxies for iterators of remote results? Can anyone confirm and possibly point out a nice example, blog, or presentation deck or source where this is done? TIA, Edo
