-----------------------------------
Summary: Make Scorer.freq() well defined: number of matches in doc
Key: LUCENE-4514
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-4514
Project: Lucene - Core
Issue Type: Task
Components: core/query/scoring
Reporter: Robert Muir
Today Scorer.freq() is somewhat useless: because in general it returns the
number of matches, but other times it returns a strange floating point value
(essentially an intermediate score).
I think it should just return the number of matches in the document. This makes
it well-defined and useful to consumers (e.g. if they are going to iterate over
the positions or whatever in the future).

/** Returns number of matches for the current document.
- * This returns a float (not int) because
- * SloppyPhraseScorer discounts its freq according to how
- * "sloppy" the match was.
*
* @lucene.experimental */
- public abstract float freq() throws IOException;
+ public abstract int freq() throws IOException;
