I would like to customize the scoring of the BooleanQuery. The scoring for Boolean queries sums together each clause. Rather than summing together each clause, I would like to take the max score of any of the clauses.
Ideally, I would like to inherit from BooleanScorer and BooleanScorer2 and make a couple of very minor changes to it. Unfortunately, both classes are package protected and declared as final. This prevents me from being able to modify them at all. It seems the only way I can change this is to basically create a copy of a bunch of classes (BooleanQuery, BooleanWeight, BooleanScorer, BooleanScorer2, DisjunctionSumScorer, ConjunctionScorer, etc). Does anyone know why many of those classes are package protected and final? Any suggestions for how to customize this part of the scoring algorithm without having to copy all of these classes? Thanks, Ryan Aylward
