Hoss Man commented on SOLR-2014:
--------------------------------

Ivan: thanks for your patch.

as noted in, SOLR-2267, In my option, now that we have LocalParams the "bf" 
param should be deprecated and removed in place of just using the "boost" or 
"bq" param - "bf=..." is functionally equivalent to "bq={!func}..."

The only reason i can think of why you might explicitly want bf is if you have 
been using solr since the stone ages, and have really old clients with 
hardcoded queries and you *want* the legacy semantics of splitting on 
whitespace to get multiple function boosts.

Can you think of any major advantages "bf" has over "bq" moving forward?

> Allow BF parameter to accept complex nested expressions with whitespace

> Modify the parsing of the boost function parameter (BF) to allow for 
> whitespace throughout.  This is useful for a couple of reasons.  The first is 
> more intuitive configuration, but the larger is to allow nested boost 
> functions.  By allowing for nesting of the boost function various forms of 
> caching, normalizing and other modification are possible.
