BoostingTermQuery.explain() bugs
--------------------------------

                 Key: LUCENE-991
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-991
             Project: Lucene - Java
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Search
    Affects Versions: 2.2
            Reporter: Peter Keegan
            Priority: Minor
         Attachments: TestBoostingTermQuery.patch

There are a couple of minor bugs in BoostingTermQuery.explain().

1. The computation of average payload score produces NaN if no payloads were 
found. It should probably be:
float avgPayloadScore = super.score() * (payloadsSeen > 0 ? (payloadScore / 
payloadsSeen) : 1);

2. If the average payload score is zero, the value of the explanation is 0:
result.setValue(nonPayloadExpl.getValue() * avgPayloadScore);
If the query is part of a BooleanClause, this results in:
"no match on required clause..."
"failure to meet condition(s) of required/prohibited clause(s)"

The average payload score can be zero if the field boost = 0.

I've attached a patch to 'TestBoostingTermQuery.java', however, the test 
'testNoPayload' fails in 'SpanScorer.score()' because the doc = -1. It looks 
like 'setFreqCurrentDoc() should have been called before 'score()'. Maybe 
someone more knowledgable of spans could investigate this.
