             Summary: MoreLikeThis.setMaxDocFreqPct can easily int-overflow on larger indexes
                 Key: LUCENE-8221
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-8221
             Project: Lucene - Core
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Dawid Weiss
            Assignee: Dawid Weiss


{code}
  public void setMaxDocFreqPct(int maxPercentage) {
    this.maxDocFreq = maxPercentage * ir.numDocs() / 100;
  }
{code}
The above overflows integer range into negative numbers on even fairly small indexes (for maxPercentage = 75, it happens for just over 28 million documents.

We should make the computations on long range so that it doesn't overflow and have a more strict argument validation.
