Michael McCandless commented on LUCENE-1593:
--------------------------------------------

bq.  the decision on which path to take can only be determined after 
score(Collector) is called, or next()/skipTo().

Oh I see: the Scorer cannot know on creation if it's the "top" scorer 
(score(Collector) will be called), or a secondary one (next()/skipTo(...) will 
be called).

Hmm yeah maybe back to DISI.start().  I think as long the actual code that will 
next()/skipTo(...) through the iterator is the only one that calls start(), the 
BS/BS2 double-start problem won't happen?

Really, somehow, it should be explicit when a Scorer will be topmost.  
IndexSearcher knows this when it creates it.

> This is a spin-off of LUCENE-1575 and proposes to optimize TSDC and TFC code 
> to remove unnecessary checks. The plan is:
> # Ensure that IndexSearcher returns segements in increasing doc Id order, 
> instead of numDocs().
> # Change TSDC and TFC's code to not use the doc id as a tie breaker. New docs 
> will always have larger ids and therefore cannot compete.
> # Pre-populate HitQueue with sentinel values in TSDC (score = Float.NEG_INF) 
> and remove the check if reusableSD == null.
> # Also move to use "changing top" and then call adjustTop(), in case we 
> update the queue.
> # some methods in Sort explicitly add SortField.FIELD_DOC as a "tie breaker" 
> for the last SortField. But, doing so should not be necessary (since we 
> already break ties by docID), and is in fact less efficient (once the above 
> optimization is in).
> # Investigate PQ - can we deprecate insert() and have only 
> insertWithOverflow()? Add a addDummyObjects method which will populate the 
> queue without "arranging" it, just store the objects in the array (this can 
> be used to pre-populate sentinel values)?
> I will post a patch as well as some perf measurements as soon as I have them.
