             Summary: reduce/remove usages of CheckHits.EXPLAIN_TOLERANCE_*
                 Key: LUCENE-8008
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-8008
             Project: Lucene - Core
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Robert Muir


these tolerance deltas are being (ab)used in various ways in tests. I did some 
experimentation and they can almost be removed entirely without too much pain.

LUCENE-7997 fixes all similarities such that score() == explain(). It makes its 
possible to actually debug numeric errors and we need to do that if we have 
optimizations such as maxscore that care about score values. So I think we 
should do the same thing elsewhere in scoring (weight/scorer).

We should at the very least fix tests (such as expression tests) that no longer 
need these deltas and can now assert exact values.
