Adrien Grand commented on LUCENE-8929:
--------------------------------------

Hmm I am confused now, I don't think you can spread the top numHits hits across 
collectors given that index sorting works on a per-segment basis. So you need 
to collect each segment at least until \{numHits} hits have been collected, or 
until the last collected hit was not competitive globally (whichever comes 
first)?

> We should have an early terminating collector manager which accurately tracks 
> hits across all of its collectors and determines when there are enough hits, 
> allowing all the collectors to abort.
> The options for the same are:
> 1) Shared total count : Global "scoreboard" where all collectors update their 
> current hit count. At the end of each document's collection, collector checks 
> if N > threshold, and aborts if true
> 2) State Reporting Collectors: Collectors report their total number of counts 
> collected periodically using a callback mechanism, and get a proceed or abort 
> decision.
> 1) has the overhead of synchronization in the hot path, 2) can collect 
> unnecessary hits before aborting.
> I am planning to work on 2), unless objections
