             Summary: Implement Block-Max WAND
                 Key: LUCENE-8135
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-8135
             Project: Lucene - Core
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Adrien Grand


This issue is about building on top of LUCENE-4198 in order to leverage block 
maximum scores instead of global maximum scores. This is documented in "Faster 
Top-k Document Retrieval Using Block-Max Indexes" 
([http://engineering.nyu.edu/~suel/papers/bmw.pdf)|http://engineering.nyu.edu/~suel/papers/bmw.pdf]
 and called BMW (Block-Max WAND).

 

Using block max scores adds overhead to scorers, but also provides better upper 
bounds of the scores and is expected to remain efficient in presence of 
outliers (LUCENE-8087).
