Alan Woodward commented on LUCENE-8490:
---------------------------------------
Here's a preliminary patch outlining the idea.
* I've called the base class Feature, but maybe something that includes a
reference to score or boost might be better?
* This is aimed at lucene 8 and just cuts everything over to the new class
hierarchy, but it would be simple enough to add deprecations using a query
wrapper if we wanted to get it into the 7x series
> Separate scoring features from Queries

>
> We currently have two types of 'purely scoring' queries, produced by static
> methods on FeatureField and more recently on LongPoint (for distance or
> recency boosting). These don't really make sense as standalone queries, and
> are designed to be used as supplementary SHOULD clauses in boolean queries.
> I think these would be easier to use (and would prevent misuses, such as
> using them in FILTER or MUST clauses) if we designated them as Features
> instead, with a separate class hierarchy, and add a specific feature() method
> to BooleanQuery.Builder.
