Also, note an additional approach: page-ranks could be maintained externally, conceptually an array: float[] pageRank, where pageRank[docid] is the PR of that doc. This has the challenge of matching with index docids and so will not work well in a dynamic env where docs are deleted and hence docids are changed. But, if your setting is static in terms of docids, this would allow you to update the PRs without re-indexing the entire collection. To take this path, extend ValueSource over this array, and construct a ValueSourceQuery over that value source. This ValueSourceQuery will now be your pageRankQuery, passed to CustomScoreQuery.
