RE: how do I get my own TopDocHitCollector?

[Beard, Brian]

Thanks for the post. So you're using the doc id as the key into the
cache to retrieve the external id. Then what mechanism fetches the
external id's from the searcher and places them in the cache?

I'm doing a similar thing.  I have external Ids (equivalent to yout
record_id), 
which have one or more Lucene Documents associated with them.  I wrote a
custom 
HitCollector that uses a Map to hold the so far collected external ids
along 
with the collected document.

I had to write my own priority queue to know when an object was dropped
of the 
bottom of the score sorted queue, but the latest PriorityQueue on the
trunk now 
has insertWithOverflow(), which does the same thing.

Note that ResultDoc extends ScoreDoc, so that the external Id of the
item 
dropped off the queue can be used to remove it from my Map.

Code snippet is somewhat as below (I am caching my external Ids, hence
the cache 
usage)

    protected Map<OfficeId, ScoreDoc> results;

    public void collect(int doc, float score)
     {
         if (score > 0.0f)
         {
             totalHits++;
             if (pq.size() < numHits || score > minScore)
             {
                 OfficeId id = cache.get(doc);
                 ResultDoc rd = results.get(id);
                 //  No current result for this ID yet found
                 if (rd == null)
                 {
                     rd = new ResultDoc(id, doc, score);
                     ResultDoc added = pq.insert(rd);
                     if (added == null)
                     {
                         //  Nothing dropped of the bottom
                         results.put(id, rd);
                     }
                     else
                     {
                         //  Return value dropped of the bottom
                         results.remove(added.id);
                         results.put(id, rd);
                         remaining++;
                     }
                 }
                 //  Already found this ID, so replace high score if
necessary
                 else
                 {
                     if (score > rd.score)
                     {
                         pq.remove(rd);
                         rd.score = score;
                         pq.insert(rd);
                     }
                 }
                 //  Readjust our minimum score again from the top entry
                 minScore = pq.peek().score;
             }
             else
                 remaining++;
         }
     }
