[jira] [Updated] (LUCENE-5315) Some subclasses of Scorer do not honor the contract of DocsEnum.freq()

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-5315?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Kai Chan updated LUCENE-5315:
-----------------------------

    Attachment: DisjunctionMaxQueryTest.java

This is a very simple program that illustrates the problem. I am attaching the output in a separate file.

>             Project: Lucene - Core
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: core/query/scoring

> The behavior of Scorer.freq() is inconsistent across its subclasses:
> * For TermScorer, the freq() method behaves just as DocsEnum.freq() specifies, i.e. the method returns the "term frequency in the current document".
> * For BooleanScorer2, ConjunctionScorer, DisjunctionMaxScorer, DisjunctionSumScorer, and possibly other classes, the freq() method returns the number of clauses (in BooleanQuery or DisjunctionMaxQuery) that match the current document.
> This difference makes the meaning of Scorer.freq()'s return value uncertain. To add to the uncertainty, given a Query, there seems to be no way of knowing which behavior takes effect (as that is not specified in the API reference) except by reading or running the code.
> This issue might be related to LUCENE-4514.
