[jira] [Commented] (LUCENE-8229) Add a method to Weight to retrieve matches for a single document

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-8229?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16417443#comment-16417443 ]

---------------------------------------

The PR linked above illustrates the idea.  There are still some TODOs (I haven't added anything to PhraseWeight yet, for example).  Comments welcome!

> The ability to find out exactly what a query has matched on is a fairly frequent feature request, and would also make highlighters much easier to implement.  There have been a few attempts at doing this, including adding positions to Scorers, or re-writing queries as Spans, but these all either compromise general performance or involve up-front knowledge of all queries.
> Instead, I propose adding a method to Weight that exposes an iterator over matches in a particular document and field.  It should be used in a similar manner to explain() - ie, just for TopDocs, not as part of the scoring loop, which relieves some of the pressure on performance.
