Michael McCandless commented on LUCENE-1789:
--------------------------------------------
bq. What if we just added a new MultiValueSource wrapper class, that acted as a
proxy around another ValueSource
OK I like this solution!
> getDocValues should provide a MultiReader DocValues abstraction

> Key: LUCENE-1789
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1789
> Project: Lucene - Java
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Hoss Man
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 2.9
>
>
> When scoring a ValueSourceQuery, the scoring code calls
> ValueSource.getValues(reader) on *each* leaf level subreader -- so DocValue
> instances are backed by the individual FieldCache entries of the subreaders
> -- but if Client code were to inadvertently called getValues() on a
> MultiReader (or DirectoryReader) they would wind up using the "outer"
> FieldCache.
> Since getValues(IndexReader) returns DocValues, we have an advantage here
> that we don't have with FieldCache API (which is required to provide direct
> array access). getValues(IndexReader) could be implimented so that *IF* some
> a caller inadvertently passes in a reader with non-null subReaders, getValues
> could generate a DocValues instance for each of the subReaders, and then wrap
> them in a composite "MultiDocValues".
