Michael McCandless commented on LUCENE-4396:
--------------------------------------------

This is good progress, thanks Da!

bq. In this patch, I just compact the array as I go through the MUST_NOT docs.

It looks like this gave some nice gains with the many-not cases

bq. It seems that we can get a better result on *Some* tasks if we combine 
size9 with size5.

Curiously some of the tasks are really hurt by the larger sizes ... maybe 1<<9 
is a good compromise?

> Today we only use BooleanScorer if the query consists of SHOULD and MUST_NOT.
> If there is one or more MUST clauses we always use BooleanScorer2.
> But I suspect that unless the MUST clauses have very low hit count compared 
> to the other clauses, that BooleanScorer would perform better than 
> BooleanScorer2.  BooleanScorer still has some vestiges from when it used to 
> handle MUST so it shouldn't be hard to bring back this capability ... I think 
> the challenging part might be the heuristics on when to use which (likely we 
> would have to use firstDocID as proxy for total hit count).
> Likely we should also have BooleanScorer sometimes use .advance() on the subs 
> in this case, eg if suddenly the MUST clause skips 1000000 docs then you want 
> to .advance() all the SHOULD clauses.
> I won't have near term time to work on this so feel free to take it if you 
> are inspired!
