To index the docvalues, see NumericDocValuesField (it can be added to documents like indexed or stored fields). You may have used them for sorting already. > this methodology seems sort of like discouraging using index time boosting. Not really. Many use this all the time. It's one of the killer features of both Solr and Elasticsearch. The problem was how the Document.setBoost()worked (it did not work correctly, see below). > Previous setBoost method call was fine and easy to use. > Did it have some performance issues and then is that why it was deprecated? No the reason for deprecating this was for several reasons: setBoost was not doing what the user had expected. Internally the boost value was just multiplied into the document norm factor (which is internally also a docvalues field). The norm factors are only very inprecise floats stored in a byte, so precision is not well. If you put some values into it and the length norm was already consuming all bits, the boosting was very coarse. It was also only multiplied into and most users want to do some stuff like record click counts in the index and then boost for example with the logarithm or some other function. If the boost is just multiplied into the length norm you have no flexibility at all. In addition you can have several docvalues fields and use their values in a function (e.g. one field with click count and another one with product price). After that you can combine click count and price (which can be modified indipenently during index updates) and change boost to boost lower price and higher click count up. This is what you can do with the expressions module. You just give it a function. Here is an example, the second example is using a FunctionScoreQuery that modifies the score based on the function and the given docvalues: https://lucene.apache.org/core/7_7_2/expressions/org/apache/lucene/expressions/Expression.html > FunctionScoreQuery usage with MultiFieldQueryParser would also be nice > where > > MultiFieldQuery already has boosts field to do this in its constructor. The boots in the query parser are applied for fields during query time (to have a different weight per field). Index time boosting is per document. So you can combine both. > Maybe it is not needed with MultiFieldQueryParser. You use MultiFieldQueryParser to adjust weights of the fields (e.g. title versus body). The parsed query is then wrapped with an expression that modifies the score per document according to the docvalues. Uwe > On 10/18/19 1:28 PM, Uwe Schindler wrote: > > > Hi, > > > > that's not true.
