I am trying to implement oracle's aggregation like SQL's  ( e.g.
SUM(col3) where col1='foo' and col2='bar' ) using lucene's payload
feature.

I can add the integer_value ( of col3 ) as a payload to my searchable
fields ( col1 and col2 ). I can probably extend the
DefaultSImilarity's scorePayload() to compute the aggregated value.
But was wondering if I can access the payload values from
HitColelctor.collect() as I really dont need to do any score
computation. I just want the sum of col3's values  for all matching
documents.

What is a good approach to achieve the above? The use case is slightly
different and more like RDBMS, but still ( methinks )  lucene seems to
the best tool available to do these kind of computation in a large
scale.

-Thanks,
Prasen
