James Dyer commented on SOLR-3823:
----------------------------------
Hoss,
I appreciate you fixing this, but I would rather get a fix that preserves the
negative boost support (SOLR-3278). I guess I don't understand the bug this
issue was addressing. Is it simply that "bq" would fail if extra whitespace
was in the query? Could we write a failing testcase for that? Do you see a
reason why it would be difficult to fix this and retain the negative boosts?
The discussion of LUCENE-4378 is pertinent: we have products in our index that
we either do not sell or we know most of our customer do not want. Yet they
often score very high. The only way I can reliably prevent these from becoming
top hits is to use a negative boost. I would imagine this is a frequent
requirement.
I'm more than willing to contribute for this, but I couldn't tell that this
issue was an actual problem or a case of users putting whitespace where it
doesn't belong and prior versions being more forgiving.
