---------------------------------------

I can take care of this! It should be a one-line change only, if all tests pass.

> We are using a log of probability for scoring, which gives us negative 
> scores.  
> DisjunctionMaxScorer initializes scoreMax in the score(...) function to zero 
> preventing us from using negative scores.  Is there a reason it couldn't be 
> initialized to something like this:
> float scoreMax = Float.MAX_VALUE * -1;
