Doron Cohen commented on LUCENE-850:
------------------------------------

> The function query capability works for many situations, as you 
> can store the various types of boosts in a FieldCache and use 
> your approach. But this doesn't scale when there are tons of 
> possible boost fields (which would usually be sparsely-populated). 
> SparseFieldCache, anyone? 

For large collections loading would indeed take long. 
Quoting Michael, payloads will be more efficient for this case. Two options 
actually:
- faster reading values into a cache
- value-source that feeds on the fly from payloads.


> Easily create queries that transform subquery scores arbitrarily
