scorePayload should be called *if* there is a payload on the term you are
searching for. If there is a payload on other terms you would not see it. So
PayloadTermQuery only reports payloads on exactly the passed - in term (not
on any other field or other term in the same field).

Additionally, the payload byte array is a generally a very large one (it
shares many payloads), so your function to calculate the boost from the
payload must respect the offset and length parameter!

> Hello,

implemented

during
