Robert Muir commented on LUCENE-4372:
-------------------------------------

I see whats confusing me (it wasnt obvious until poking around this thing 
enough), there are 2 collectors, the one you wrap is just a passthrough always.
the one you replay to is separate.

ok it makes sense now.
                
> CachingCollector.create(boolean, boolean, double) is trappy

> Shai proposed a method that just caches all scores so they can be replayed:
> {quote}
> Do you think we can modify this Collector to not necessarily wrap another 
> Collector? We have such Collector which stores (in-memory) all matching doc 
> IDs + scores (if required). Those are later fed into several processes that 
> operate on them (e.g. fetch more info from the index etc.). I am thinking, we 
> can make CachingCollector optionally wrap another Collector and then someone 
> can reuse it by setting RAM limit to unlimited (we should have a constant for 
> that) in order to simply collect all matching docs + scores.

> But Mike had concerns about the RAM usage:
> {quote}
> I'd actually rather not have the constant – ie, I don't want to make
> it easy to be unlimited? It seems too dangerous... I'd rather your
> code has to spell out 10*1024 so you realize you're saying 10 GB (for
> example).
> {quote}
> My concern here is what happens when you dont specify enough, I think those 
> hits are just silently dropped (which is worse than using lots of RAM).
