> The method for scoring subsets in Scorer has wrong visibility, its marked
> protected, but protected methods should not be called from other classes.
> Protected methods are intended for methods that should be overridden by
> subclasses and are called by (often) final methods of the same class. They
> should never be called from foreign classes.
> This method is called from another class out-of-scope: BooleanScorer(2) - so
> it must be public, but it's protected. This does not lead to a compiler error
> because BS(2) is in same package, but may lead to problems if subclasses from
> other packages override it. When implementing LUCENE-2838 I hit a trap, as I
> thought tis method should only be called from the class or Scorer itsself,
> but in fact its called from outside, leading to bugs, because I had not
> overridden it. As ConstantScorer did not use it I have overridden it with
> throw UOE and suddenly BooleanQuery was broken, which made it clear that it's
> called from outside (which is not the intention of protected methods).
> We cannot fix this in 3.x, as it would break backwards for classes that
> overwrite this method, but we can fix visibility in trunk.
