[jira] [Commented] (LUCENE-8490) Separate scoring features from Queries

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-8490?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16606837#comment-16606837 ] 

Alan Woodward commented on LUCENE-8490:
---------------------------------------

Here's a preliminary patch outlining the idea.
 * I've called the base class Feature, but maybe something that includes a reference to score or boost might be better?
 * This is aimed at lucene 8 and just cuts everything over to the new class hierarchy, but it would be simple enough to add deprecations using a query wrapper if we wanted to get it into the 7x series

> We currently have two types of 'purely scoring' queries, produced by static methods on FeatureField and more recently on LongPoint (for distance or recency boosting).  These don't really make sense as standalone queries, and are designed to be used as supplementary SHOULD clauses in boolean queries.  I think these would be easier to use (and would prevent misuses, such as using them in FILTER or MUST clauses) if we designated them as Features instead, with a separate class hierarchy, and add a specific feature() method to BooleanQuery.Builder.
