[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-582?page=comments#action_12413606 ]
Yonik Seeley commented on LUCENE-582: ------------------------------------- Any fallback strategy should attempt to score the same way. If it doesn't it's brittle and will lead to surprises (e.g. when I add one more document to my index, I don't want scoring to radically change). I did some work in the direction of using a scorer with a byte per document to keep track of scores: http://www.mail-archive.com/java-dev@lucene.apache.org/msg03178.html A variation of norms 8 bit float is already checked into lucene... see lucene.util.SmallFloat. > Don't throw TooManyClauses exception > ------------------------------------ > > Key: LUCENE-582 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-582 > Project: Lucene - Java > Type: Improvement > Components: Search > Versions: 2.0.0 > Reporter: Eric Jain > Priority: Minor > > I wonder if it would make sense to fall back to a ConstantScoreQuery instead > of throwing a TooManyClauses exception? -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
