-------------------------------------------
Summary: EarlyTerminatingSortingCollector support for grouped
searches
Key: LUCENE-7341
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-7341
Project: Lucene - Core
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: Christine Poerschke
Assignee: Christine Poerschke
Priority: Minor
Currently grouped searches must not use the early terminating sorting collector
because the wrong results would be returned. This ticket proposes to change the
{{EarlyTerminatingSortingCollector}} class and probably the {{LeafCollector}}
interface to support early termination for grouped searches.

# fictitious (sorted by X) segment
| doc key | D0 D1 D2 D3 D4 D5 ... D10 D11 D12 D13 D14 D15 ... D20 D21 D22 D23
D24 D25 ...

{code}
# query with rows=3 sort=X group=false
| query result | D0 D1 D2
# existing code:
# use a EarlyTerminatingSortingCollector with numDocsToCollect=3
# EarlyTerminatingSortingCollector.getLeafCollector returns a LeafCollector
# whose collect method uses (++numCollected >= numDocsToCollect) as the
terminating condition
{code}
{code}
# query with rows=3 sort=X group=true group.field=grp group.sort=X group.limit=1
| query result | G0(D0) G10(D10) G20(D20)
# existing code:
# cannot use EarlyTerminatingSortingCollector (query result would wrongly be
just 'G0(D0)')
# proposed new code:
# use a EarlyTerminatingSortingCollector(... numDocsToCollect=3 aaa=true)
{code}
{code}
# query with rows=3 sort=X group=true group.field=grp group.sort=X group.limit=5
| query result | G0(D0,D1,D2,D3,D4) G10(D10,D11,D12,D13,D14)
G20(D20,D21,D22,D23,D24)
# existing code:
# cannot use EarlyTerminatingSortingCollector (query result would wrongly be
just 'G0(D0,D1,D2)')
# proposed new code:
# use a EarlyTerminatingSortingCollector(... numDocsToCollect=3 aaa=true)
