----------------------------------------------

Hi [~mikemccand], thank you for your feedback!
I definitely agree the path with data type migration is the best route to solve 
the bug(s) elegantly.
I already attached a Pull Request : 
[https://github.com/apache/lucene-solr/pull/398]

Which :
- move the weight long to Long ( preserving null values with difference to 0 
values)
- move the suggestion score to double ( preserving the precision)

It is ready for review and after a first feedback I can work more on that to 
make it production ready!

> Currently the BlendedInfixSuggester return a (long) score to rank the 
> suggestions.
> This score is calculated as a multiplication between :
> long *Weight* : the suggestion weight, coming from a document field, it can 
> be any long value ( including 1, 0,.. )
> double *Coefficient* : 0<=x<=1, calculated based on the position match, 
> earlier the better
> The resulting score is a long, which means that at the moment, any weight<10 
> can bring inconsistencies.
> *Edge cases* 
> Weight =1
> Score = 1( if we have a match at the beginning of the suggestion) or 0 ( for 
> any other match)
> Weight =0
> Score = 0 ( independently of the position match coefficient)
