Alan Woodward commented on LUCENE-6228:
---------------------------------------
The issue with getChildren() is that you can't access it if a BulkScorer is
being used - it's a separate problem to this issue, which is preventing people
calling iterator() from a Collector. Or rather, it's the same sort of problem,
in that we should prevent people from calling getChildren() from a Collector,
because they might be holding a FakeScorer which can't support it.
> Do not expose full-fledged scorers in LeafCollector.setScorer

> Currently LeafCollector.setScorer takes a Scorer, which I don't like because
> several methods should never be called in the context of a Collector (like
> nextDoc or advance).
> I think it's even more trappy for methods that might seem to work in some
> particular cases but will not work in the general case, like getChildren
> which will not work if you have a specialized BulkScorer or iterating over
> positions which will not work if you are in a MultiCollector and another leaf
> collector consumes positions too.
> So I think we should restrict what can be seen from a collector to avoid such
> traps.
