Shai Erera commented on LUCENE-1593:
------------------------------------

bq. Whew - that's a lot of change just to sometimes allow BooleanScorer instead 
of BooleanScorer2

Some of these changes were discussed elsewhere already, e.g. deprecating Weight 
and Searchable and make them abstract classes for easier such changes in the 
future.

Also, it's not just about creating BS2 or BS sometimes ... it's about the 
changes in this issue which moved to assume at first in-order documents 
collection, and thus did not break ties on doc Ids at the Collector level. In 
order to allow this to work with the current BS, we need to have a way to 
determine which scorer will be used. Or ... we can stop using BS at all and 
saying all scorers must work in-order.

Also, it's not that large of change, just lots of text :) (my fault). In the 
end we'll achieve some refactoring, and few more deprecated methods.

bq. Another option to consider is use of a thread local to pass this info. A 
bit of a hack, but it would be more localized.

I'm not sure I understand this - where would you set it? On IndexSearcher ctor? 
search methods (which means changes to the interfaces)? On Scorer (which is 
most local I can think of)?

> 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.
