Yonik Seeley commented on LUCENE-3364:
--------------------------------------

Perhaps it would be easiest to just create a Collector that cut off based on score?

> This is an optimization for scoring.
> Given a Scorer.score() implementation, where features are gathered to calculate a score.
> Proposal, add a parameter to score, e.g. score(float threshold)
> This threshold is the minimum score to "beat" to make it to the current PriorityQueue. This could potential save a great deal of wasted calculation in the cases where recall is large.
> In our case specifically, some of the features needed to do calculation can be expensive to obtain, it would be nice to have a place to decide whether or not even fetching these features are necessary.
> Also, if we know the score would be low, simply threshold can be returned.
> Let me know if this makes sense and I can work on a patch.
