Mike Sokolov commented on LUCENE-8019:
--------------------------------------

Sorry I missed your comment there, Robert. Maybe this would be clearer if I 
posted the code, but the issue with walking the Scorer tree seemed like a 
blocker to me. ReqExclScorer.getChildren() is incomplete -- it does not include 
the exclScorer.

> If you need to analyze the root cause of a query's failure to match some 
> document, you can use the Weight.explain() API. If you want to do some gross 
> analysis of a whole batch of queries, say scraped from a log, that once 
> matched, but no longer do, perhaps after some refactoring or other 
> large-scale change, the Explanation isn't very good for that. You can try 
> parsing its textual output, which is pretty regular, but instead I found it 
> convenient to add some boolean structure to Explanation, and use that to find 
> failing leaves on the Explanation tree, and report only those.
> This patch adds a "condition" to each Explanation, which can be REQUIRED, 
> OPTIONAL, PROHIBITED, or NONE. The conditions correspond in obvious ways to 
> the Boolean Occur, except for NONE, which is used to indicate a node which 
> can't be further decomposed. It adds new Explanation construction methods for 
> creating Explanations with conditions (defaulting to NONE with the existing 
> methods).
> Finally Explanation.getFailureCauses() returns a list of Strings that are the 
> one-line explanations of the failing queries that, if some of them had 
> succeeded, would have made the original overall query match.
