Simon Willnauer updated LUCENE-2878:
------------------------------------
Attachment: LUCENE-2878.patch
Mike & all other interested users :) I think I got around all the pre scorer
creation collector setup etc. by detaching Scorer from Positions (and its
iteration + collection) entirely. on the lowest level TermScorer now uses two
enums, one for scoring (no positions) and one for the position iterator if
needed. This change required some more upstream changes since the consumer now
has to advance the positions to the next doc the scorer points to.
Yet, this gives us some more freedom how and when to consume the positions. A
wrapping scorer can still consume the positions or we can simply leave this to
the collector.
I think this gets reasonably closer to what we need while still pretty rough.
Mike what do you think, does that help with highlighting?
i also added two types of collectors, one collects only leaves (term positions)
and the other collects the intermediate (composite) intervals. I call them by
default without null checking, the default is simply an empty collector so
hopefully the compiler will no-op this.
> Allow Scorer to expose positions and payloads aka. nuke spans

> Currently we have two somewhat separate types of queries, the one which can
> make use of positions (mainly spans) and payloads (spans). Yet Span*Query
> doesn't really do scoring comparable to what other queries do and at the end
> of the day they are duplicating lot of code all over lucene. Span*Queries are
> also limited to other Span*Query instances such that you can not use a
> TermQuery or a BooleanQuery with SpanNear or anthing like that.
> Beside of the Span*Query limitation other queries lacking a quiet interesting
> feature since they can not score based on term proximity since scores doesn't
> expose any positional information. All those problems bugged me for a while
> now so I stared working on that using the bulkpostings API. I would have done
> that first cut on trunk but TermScorer is working on BlockReader that do not
> expose positions while the one in this branch does. I started adding a new
> Positions class which users can pull from a scorer, to prevent unnecessary
> positions enums I added ScorerContext#needsPositions and eventually
> Scorere#needsPayloads to create the corresponding enum on demand. Yet,
> currently only TermQuery / TermScorer implements this API and other simply
> return null instead.
> To show that the API really works and our BulkPostings work fine too with
> positions I cut over TermSpanQuery to use a TermScorer under the hood and
> nuked TermSpans entirely. A nice sideeffect of this was that the Position
> BulkReading implementation got some exercise which now :) work all with
> positions while Payloads for bulkreading are kind of experimental in the
> patch and those only work with Standard codec.
> So all spans now work on top of TermScorer ( I truly hate spans since today )
> including the ones that need Payloads (StandardCodec ONLY)!! I didn't bother
> to implement the other codecs yet since I want to get feedback on the API and
> on this first cut before I go one with it. I will upload the corresponding
> patch in a minute.
> I also had to cut over SpanQuery.getSpans(IR) to
> SpanQuery.getSpans(AtomicReaderContext) which I should probably do on trunk
> first but after that pain today I need a break first :).
> The patch passes all core tests
> (org.apache.lucene.search.highlight.HighlighterTest still fails but I didn't
> look into the MemoryIndex BulkPostings API yet)
