[jira] Commented: (LUCENE-1252) Avoid using positions when not all required terms are present

["Jason Rutherglen (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1252?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12701726#action_12701726 ] 

Jason Rutherglen commented on LUCENE-1252:
------------------------------------------

When flexible indexing goes in, users will be able to put data
into the index that allow scorers to calculate a "cheap" score,
collect, then go through and calculate a presumably more
expensive score. 

Would it be good to implement this patch with this sort of more
general framework in mind? 

It seems like this could affect the HitCollector API as we'd
want a more generic way of representing scores than the
primitive "float" we assume now. Aren't we rewriting the
HitCollector APIs right now? Can we implement this change now?

> In the Scorers of queries with (lots of) Phrases and/or (nested) Spans, currently next() and skipTo() will use position information even when other parts of the query cannot match because some required terms are not present.
> This could be avoided by adding some methods to Scorer that relax the postcondition of next() and skipTo() to something like "all required terms are present, but no position info was checked yet", and implementing these methods for Scorers that do conjunctions: BooleanScorer, PhraseScorer, and SpanScorer/NearSpans.
