Simon Willnauer commented on LUCENE-2878:
-----------------------------------------
alan +1 to the patch BooleanIntervalIterator is a relict. I will go ahead and
commit it.
bq. Other than writing javadocs, we need to replace PayloadTermQuery and
PayloadNearQuery, I think. I'll work on that next.
Honestly, fuck it! PayloadTermQuery and PayloadNearQuery are so exotic I'd
leave it out and move it into a sep. issue and maybe add them once we are on
trunk. We can still just convert them to pos iters eventually. For now that is
not important. we should focus on getting this on trunk.

> Currently we have two somewhat separate types of queries, the one which can
> make use of positions (mainly spans) and payloads (spans). Yet Span*Query
> doesn't really do scoring comparable to what other queries do and at the end
> of the day they are duplicating lot of code all over lucene. Span*Queries are
> also limited to other Span*Query instances such that you can not use a
> TermQuery or a BooleanQuery with SpanNear or anthing like that.
> Beside of the Span*Query limitation other queries lacking a quiet interesting
> feature since they can not score based on term proximity since scores doesn't
> expose any positional information. All those problems bugged me for a while
> now so I stared working on that using the bulkpostings API. I would have done
> that first cut on trunk but TermScorer is working on BlockReader that do not
> expose positions while the one in this branch does. I started adding a new
> Positions class which users can pull from a scorer, to prevent unnecessary
> positions enums I added ScorerContext#needsPositions and eventually
> Scorere#needsPayloads to create the corresponding enum on demand. Yet,
> currently only TermQuery / TermScorer implements this API and other simply
> return null instead.
> To show that the API really works and our BulkPostings work fine too with
> positions I cut over TermSpanQuery to use a TermScorer under the hood and
> nuked TermSpans entirely. A nice sideeffect of this was that the Position
> BulkReading implementation got some exercise which now :) work all with
> positions while Payloads for bulkreading are kind of experimental in the
> patch and those only work with Standard codec.
> So all spans now work on top of TermScorer ( I truly hate spans since today )
> including the ones that need Payloads (StandardCodec ONLY)!! I didn't bother
> to implement the other codecs yet since I want to get feedback on the API and
> on this first cut before I go one with it. I will upload the corresponding
> patch in a minute.
> I also had to cut over SpanQuery.getSpans(IR) to
> SpanQuery.getSpans(AtomicReaderContext) which I should probably do on trunk
> first but after that pain today I need a break first :).
> The patch passes all core tests
> (org.apache.lucene.search.highlight.HighlighterTest still fails but I didn't
> look into the MemoryIndex BulkPostings API yet)
