[lucene] 01/02: LUCENE-10577: Remove LeafReader#searchNearestVectorsExhaustively (#11756)

Posted by ju...@apache.org.
This is an automated email from the ASF dual-hosted git repository.

julietibs pushed a commit to branch branch_9x
in repository https://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf/lucene.git

commit eb6657664b2289d7b1d482939bd0f328473674da
Author: Julie Tibshirani <ju...@apache.org>
AuthorDate: Thu Sep 8 12:15:02 2022 -0700

    LUCENE-10577: Remove LeafReader#searchNearestVectorsExhaustively (#11756)
    
    This PR removes the recently added function on LeafReader to exhaustively search
    through vectors, plus the helper function KnnVectorsReader#searchExhaustively.
    Instead it performs the exact search within KnnVectorQuery, using a new helper
    class called VectorScorer.
