Simon Willnauer commented on LUCENE-2878:
-----------------------------------------
hey alan,
bq. I've started to use this branch in an (experimental!) system I'm developing
for a client.
very good news! cool stuff - can you provide more infos what you are doing
there? Do you highlight too?
regarding your latest patch - commit it!
bq. 1) There isn't a replacement for SpanNotQueries - the BrouwerianIterator
comes close, but doesn't quite cover all the use cases. I
can you provide a testcase what it doesn't cover? you can go ahead and commit
it even if you don't have a fix.
bq. 2) The API is not very nice when it comes to subclassing Iterators. For
example, I have 'anchor' terms at the start and end of documents, which allow
I am not sure I understand this. if you have marker terms how do they differ
from ordinary terms can't you just do a nearOrdered("X", "_ENDMARKER_") query?
I don't see where you need to subclass here. can you elaborate?
bq. 4) I found a bug in the iterators() method of DisjunctionSumScorer
great, can you submit the testcase?
bq. 3) MultiTermQueries don't return iterators unless you set their rewrite
policies to something other than CONSTANT_SCORE_REWRITE.
yeah the problem here is that we use a filter instead of a scorer, you should
see an exception right? I think it would make sense to have a MTQ rewrite a
query on a ConstantScoreQuery instead of a filter - we can't get a interval
iter from a filter :/
I think overall we should move out of this issue and create separate issues for
all you cases. Also for the things robert mentioned like exploring "Scorere
extends DocsAndPosEnum"
> Allow Scorer to expose positions and payloads aka. nuke spans

> 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)
