             Summary: Illegal assertion in WANDScorer
                 Key: LUCENE-8658
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-8658
             Project: Lucene - Core
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Adrien Grand


[~jim.ferenczi] told me about an assertion error that he ran into while playing 
with WANDScorer.

WANDScorer tries to not have to deal with accuracy issues on floating-point 
numbers. In order to do this, it turns all scores into integers by multiplying 
them by a scaling factor, and then rounding minimum competitive scores down and 
rounding maximum scores up. This scaling factor is computed in the constructor 
in such a way that scores end up in the 0..65536 range. Sub scorers that have a 
maximum score of +Infty are ignored.

The assertion is triggered in the rare case that a Scorer returns +Infty for 
its maximum score when computing the scaling factor but then returns finite 
values that are greater than the maximum scores of other clauses when asked for 
the maximum score over smaller ranges of doc ids.
