Robert Muir commented on LUCENE-4100:
-------------------------------------
Also what does the patch look like if Scorer.maxScore() is abstract instead of
defaulting to +Infinity? I think it should be the same for Similarity. It is a
little trappy, for example in the current patch you can't see that it is
missing for things such as phrase scorers (but should work fine if done the
same way as TermScorer). We know there are queryparsers forming disjunctions
with these kind of subs and it might be able to help, presuming we can refine
the algorithm a bit more.
> Maxscore - Efficient Scoring

> At Berlin Buzzwords 2012, I will be presenting 'maxscore', an efficient
> algorithm first published in the IR domain in 1995 by H. Turtle & J. Flood,
> that I find deserves more attention among Lucene users (and developers).
> I implemented a proof of concept and did some performance measurements with
> example queries and lucenebench, the package of Mike McCandless, resulting in
> very significant speedups.
> This ticket is to get started the discussion on including the implementation
> into Lucene's codebase. Because the technique requires awareness about it
> from the Lucene user/developer, it seems best to become a contrib/module
> package so that it consciously can be chosen to be used.
