Robert Muir commented on LUCENE-5487:
-------------------------------------

* docs for Weight.scoresDocsOutOfOrder() should refer to bulkScorer() instead 
of scorer()
* a TODO should be added for BooleanWeight.scoresDocsOutOfOrder: its "out of 
sync" in the sense that it only checks for any required clause, but e.g. if 
someone has minNrShouldMatch > 1, it will lie and say its out of order, but 
then go and do in-order scoring (but with a slower collector). This is not new 
and not caused by your patch... and really it would be ideal if somehow the 
logic was in one place rather than duplicated.
* should FakeScorer really not take the real Weight anymore? I don't know how 
useful it is, but its wierd that its null, since the Collector actually sees 
this thing via setScorer: if its not going to be supported then i think it 
should override getWeight to explicitly throw UOE?
* what is the purpose of a LeapFrogBulkScorer? It seems to just use two 
in-order scorers, i dont understand its purpose. Is this supposed to be a code 
specialization? If so, how much faster is it than just... not doing that and 
using an in-order scorer in this case? (it seems maybe the latter way is 
actually faster, as you get the correct collector, same issue as BooleanWeight 
with minNrShouldMatch as mentioned above)


> Can we separate "top scorer" from "sub scorer"?

> This is just an exploratory patch ... still many nocommits, but I
> think it may be promising.
> I find the two booleans we pass to Weight.scorer confusing, because
> they really only apply to whoever will call score(Collector) (just
> IndexSearcher and BooleanScorer).
> The params are pointless for the vast majority of scorers, because
> very, very few query scorers really need to change how top-scoring is
> done, and those scorers can *only* score top-level (throw throw UOE
> from nextDoc/advance).  It seems like these two types of scorers
> should be separately typed.
