Uwe Schindler commented on LUCENE-5207:
---------------------------------------
+1 to merge & commit this to trunk and 4.x. In the last 3 commits to the branch
I just added new tests, so no functional changes anymore.
Robert: If you create a new patch for reference, it would be good. Otherwise do
merge --reintegrate, commit, and delete the branch!

> Key: LUCENE-5207
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-5207
> Project: Lucene - Core

> Expressions are geared at defining an alternative ranking function (e.g.
> incorporating the text relevance score and other field values/ranking
> signals). So they are conceptually much more like ElasticSearch's scripting
> support (http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/modules/scripting/)
> than solr's function queries.
> Some additional notes:
> * In addition to referring to other fields, they can also refer to other
> expressions, so they can be used as "computed fields".
> * You can rank documents easily by multiple expressions (its a SortField at
> the end), e.g. Sort by year descending, then some function of score price and
> time ascending.
> * The provided javascript expression syntax is much more efficient than using
> a scripting engine, because it does not have dynamic typing (compiles to
> .class files that work on doubles). Performance is similar to writing a
> custom FieldComparator yourself, but much easier to do.
> * We have solr integration to contribute in the future, but this is just the
> standalone lucene part as a start. Since lucene has no schema, it includes an
> implementation of Bindings (SimpleBindings) that maps variable names to
> SortField's or other expressions.
