             Summary: Only assign ScoreDoc#shardIndex if it was already 
assigned to non default (-1) value
                 Key: LUCENE-7707
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-7707
             Project: Lucene - Core
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Simon Willnauer
             Fix For: master (7.0), 6.5.0


When you use TopDocs.merge today it always overrides the ScoreDoc#shardIndex 
value. The assumption that is made here is that all shard results are merges at 
once which is not necessarily the case. If for instance incremental merge 
phases are applied the shard index doesn't correspond to the index in the outer 
TopDocs array. To make this a backwards compatible but yet non-controversial 
change we could change the internals of TopDocs#merge to only assign this value 
unless it's not been assigned before to a non-default (-1) value to allow 
multiple or sparse top docs merging.
