Robert Muir commented on SOLR-5730:
-----------------------------------

Hello, some things that might simplify some of the TODOs, is we changed the 
SortingMergePolicy API in LUCENE-5493 to just take Sort.

This means you can have multiple fields, they dont have to be numeric 
docvalues, and so on. So I think this can simplify the configuration of this 
thing too, e.g. you could just take a standard "sort spec string" and parse it 
with QueryParsing.getSort or whatever (some refactoring might be needed here). 

It would be good though, to check that Sort.needsScores() == false, as that 
makes no sense at index-time... I'll open an issue to add this check to 
SortingMergePolicy itself in lucene.

The other difference is, EarlyTerminatingSortingCollector now also takes a 
Sort, except really you should just pass the Sort being used for the Query (it 
does the proper checking against the segments to see if the segment was sorted 
in a compatible way, and if so, will optimize with early termination). Today 
this just checks that they are exactly equal, but in the future it can be 
smarter (LUCENE-5499).

Hopefully this makes the integration easier.
