             Summary: Improve accuracy of similarity scores
                 Key: LUCENE-8072
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-8072
             Project: Lucene - Core
          Issue Type: Task
            Reporter: Adrien Grand
            Priority: Minor


I noticed two things we could do to improve the accuracy of our scores:
 - use Math.log1p(x) instead of Math.log(1+x), especially when x is expected to 
be small
 - use doubles for intermediate values that are used to compute norms in 
BM25Similarity
