The API is definitely confusing.
setBottom is called by Lucene to notify your FieldComparator which
slot holds the "weakest" entry. You can at that point cache that
entry (eg IntComparator stores the bottom int value at that point),
or, simply store that bottom slot in an instance variable.
Then, compareBottom is just like compare except compareBottom uses the
bottom slot instead of slot1.
So the simplest and correct thing to do in your comparator is
something like this (note: not tested!):
int bottomSlot;
public void setBottom(int slot) {
bottomSlot = slot;
}
public int compareBottom(int slot) {
return compare(bottomSlot, slot);
}
