Adrien Grand commented on LUCENE-8012:
--------------------------------------
I'm +1 on merging, this is good progress already. We can deal with making
CheckHits/CheckExplanations more picky in follow-up issues.
> Improve Explanation class

> Key: LUCENE-8012

> Project: Lucene - Core

>
> Explanation class is currently nice and simple, and float matches the scoring
> api, but this does not work well for debugging numerical errors of internal
> calculations (it usually makes practical sense to use 64-bit double to avoid
> issues).
> Also it makes for nasty formatting of integral values such as number of
> tokens in the collection or even document's length, its just noise to see
> {{10.0}} there instead of {{10}}, and scientific notation for e.g. number of
> documents is just annoying.
> One idea is to take Number instead of float? Then you could pass in the
> correct numeric type (int,long,double,float) for internal calculations,
> parameters, statistics, etc, and output would look nice.
