Luc Vanlerberghe updated LUCENE-469:
------------------------------------

    Attachment: MultiSearcherSort.patch

Here's the updated patch (at last....)

- the redundant changes to FieldDocSortedHitQueue are reverted.
- maxScore is private with public accessors.
- TopFieldDocs search (Weight weight, Filter filter, int n, Sort sort) is 
corrected in MultiSearcher and ParallelMultiSearcher.
- I didn't add compatible but deprecated constructors for TopDocs and 
TopFieldDocs.  Those constructors where package private, so they couldn't be 
used by derived classes anyway.  So I think risk of breaking backwards 
compatibility for existing applications by changing these classes is fairly low.

>          URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-469
>      Project: Lucene - Java
>         Type: Bug
>   Components: Search
>     Versions: CVS Nightly - Specify date in submission
>  Environment: 21 november 2005, revision 345901
>     Reporter: Luc Vanlerberghe
>  Attachments: MultiSearcherSort.patch, MultiSearcherSort.patch, 
> TestMultiSearcher.patch
>
> Example: 
> Hits hits=multiSearcher.search(query);
> returns different scores for some documents than
> Hits hits=multiSearcher.search(query, Sort.RELEVANCE);
> (both for MultiSearcher and ParallelMultiSearcher)
> The documents returned will be the same and in the same order, but the scores 
> in the second case will seem out of order.
> Inspecting the Explanation objects shows that the scores themselves are ok, 
> but there's a bug in the normalization of the scores.
> The document with the highest score should have score 1.0, so all document 
> scores are divided by the highest score.  (Assuming the highest score was>1.0)
> However, for MultiSearcher and ParallelMultiSearcher, this normalization 
> factor is applied *per index*, before merging the results together (the merge 
> itself is ok though).
> An example: if you use
> Hits hits=multiSearcher.search(query, Sort.RELEVANCE);
> for a MultiSearcher with two subsearchers, the first document will have score 
> 1.0.
> The next documents from the same subsearcher will have decreasing scores.
> The first document from the other subsearcher will however have score 1.0 
> again !
> The same applies for other Sort objects, but it is less visible.
> I will post a TestCase demonstrating the problem and suggested patches to 
> solve it in a moment...
