Thomas Mueller commented on OAK-1996:
-------------------------------------

Do we talk about "order by @jcr:score ascending" or "descending"?

I think "order by @jcr:score desc" is very common, and is needed for many cases 
where you don't care about the result set size. 

I think it's better to fix the applications that rely on getSize instead. To do 
that, we could make getSize() return -1 in all cases if a certain setting is 
used, to simplify testing the application.

> let 'order by @jcr:score' trigger automatic result set size calculation

> It would probably be a good idea to make the "order by @jcr:score"
> suffix trigger automatic result set size calculation in getSize() for
> better backwards compatibility. 
> This would make oak more compatible with applications relying on this 
> behaviour from jackrabbit 2.8 and earlier.
