I think a separate issue is warranted. Can you add unit tests, too?

Hi,
SOLR-295 mentions boost support for morelikethis and then seems
to have been subsumed by SOLR-281 but I don't think this got
implemented. I've patched MoreLikeThisHandler to support this.
Here's a summary of the approach:
Parse out "mlt.qf parameters" to get boosts in dismax like format
(existing code from DisMax param parse code used to produce a
Map<String,Float>)
Iterate through mltquery terms, get boost by looking at field from
which mltquery term came, and multiply boost specified in map by
existing term boost.
If mlt.boost=false, then you get the same boost values as in map/
mlt.qf parameters,
If mlt.boost=true then you get normalized boost multiplied by
specified boost (which makes sense to me).
Patch attached.
Should I re-open either SOLR-281 or SOLR-295 (if I can) or create a
new jira ticket for this?
Thanks...Tom
