Lance Norskog commented on LUCENE-997:
--------------------------------------

I stumbled above; I do not yet know Jira :)  The Solr code is SOLR-392.

This request is inspired by a public search engine with millions of records. 
 There are three different aspects mentioned above that can cause a query to 
"go rogue": timing out, finding too many records to give a truly useable 
result, and using up too much memory. The point is that if a search is going to 
find 14 million hits, Google does not go and tally them. It stops quickly and 
estimates how many might remain. I would like to have similar control. 

The HitCollector implementation mentioned above would allow all three of these 
control options. If they could be pipelined together we could use any or all of 
them.

> This patch is based on Nutch-308. 
> This patch adds support for a maximum search time limit. After this time is 
> exceeded, the search thread is stopped, partial results (if any) are returned 
> and the total number of results is estimated.
> This patch tries to minimize the overhead related to time-keeping by using a 
> version of safe unsynchronized timer.
> This was also discussed in an e-mail thread.
