In cases where we dont know the possible number of hits -- and wanting
to test the new 2.4 way of doing things,
could I use custom hitcollectors for everything? any performance
penalty for this?
from what I understand both TopDocCollector and TopDocs will try to
allocate an array of Integer.MAX_VALUE if I specify that for the page
size?
Best.
