Hi Alex,
The entry point for block-max metadata is TermsEnum#impacts (
https://lucene.apache.org/core/8_6_0/core/org/apache/lucene/index/TermsEnum.html#impacts(int))
which returns a view of the postings lists that includes block-max
metadata. In particular, see documentation for ImpactsSource#adva
Hi all,
There was some fairly recent work in Lucene to introduce Block-Max WAND
Scoring (
https://cs.uwaterloo.ca/~jimmylin/publications/Grand_etal_ECIR2020_preprint.pdf
, https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-8135).
I've been working on a use-case where I need very efficient top-k scoring
