Atri Sharma commented on LUCENE-8857:
-------------------------------------
{quote}Any chance we can select the tie-breaker based on if one of the TopDocs
has a shardIndex != -1 and assert that all of them have it or not? Another
option would be to have only one comparator and first tie-break on shardIndex
and then on doc since we don't set the shard index it should be fine since they
are all -1?
{quote}
Would that not defeat the purpose of passing in the custom tie breaker? I
thought the reason we added passing in the Comparator was to allow users to
specify custom tie breaking algorithms, and define a custom one. Am I missing
something?

> In LUCENE-8829, the idea of having lambdas passed in to the API to allow
> finer control over the process was discussed.
> This JIRA tracks adding a parameter to the API which allows passing in
> lambdas to define custom tie breakers, thus allowing users to do custom
> algorithms when required.
