Adrien Grand commented on LUCENE-8875:
--------------------------------------
Aggregates don't have this issue since they don't track top hits?
+1 to having a separate collector for large N values in sandbox.
> Should TopScoreDocCollector Always Populate Sentinel Values?

> Key: LUCENE-8875
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-8875
> Project: Lucene - Core
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Atri Sharma
> Priority: Major
>
> TopScoreDocCollector always initializes HitQueue as the PQ implementation,
> and instruct HitQueue to populate with sentinels. While this is a great
> safety mechanism, for very large datasets where the query's selectivity is
> high, the sentinel population can be redundant and can become a large enough
> bottleneck in itself. Does it make sense to introduce a new parameter in
> TopScoreDocCollector which uses a heuristic (say number of hits > 10k) and
> does not populate sentinels?
