Paul Elschot commented on LUCENE-584:
-------------------------------------
That could be improved in a DisjunctionMatcher.
With a bit of bookkeeping DisjunctionSumScorer could also delay calling score()
on the subscorers
but the bookkeeping would affect performance for the normal case.
For the usual queries the score() call will never have much of a performance
impact.
The reason for this is that TermScorer.score() is really very efficient, iirc
it caches
weighted tf() values for low term frequencies.
All the rest is mostly additions, and occasionally a multiplication for a
coordination factor.
To determine which documents match the query, the index need to be accessed,
and that takes more time than score value computations because the complete
index
almost never fits in the fastest cache.

> It would be useful if the method =Filter.bits()= returned an abstract
> interface, instead of =java.util.BitSet=.
> Use case: there is a very large index, and, depending on the user's
> privileges, only a small portion of the index is actually visible.
> Sparsely populated =java.util.BitSet=s are not efficient and waste lots of
> memory. It would be desirable to have an alternative BitSet implementation
> with smaller memory footprint.
> Though it _is_ possibly to derive classes from =java.util.BitSet=, it was
> obviously not designed for that purpose.
> That's why I propose to use an interface instead. The default implementation
> could still delegate to =java.util.BitSet=.
