Direct Known Subclasses:

ConstantScoreQuery.ConstantScorer, ScoreCachingWrappingScorer, SpanScorer

public abstract class Scorer
extends DocsEnum

Expert: Common scoring functionality for different types of queries.

A Scorer iterates over documents matching a query in increasing order of doc Id.

Document scores are computed using a given Similarity implementation.

NOTE: The values Float.Nan, Float.NEGATIVE_INFINITY and Float.POSITIVE_INFINITY are not valid scores. Certain collectors (eg TopScoreDocCollector) will not properly collect hits with these scores.

Constructor Details

Scorer

protected Scorer(Weight weight)

Constructs a Scorer

Parameters:

weight - The scorers Weight.

Method Details

score

public void score(Collector collector)
           throws IOException

Scores and collects all matching documents.

Parameters:

collector - The collector to which all matching documents are passed.

Throws:

IOException

score

public boolean score(Collector collector,
 int max,
 int firstDocID)
              throws IOException

Expert: Collects matching documents in a range. Hook for optimization. Note, firstDocID is added to ensure that DocIdSetIterator.nextDoc() was called before this method.

Parameters:

collector - The collector to which all matching documents are passed.

max - Do not score documents past this.

firstDocID - The first document ID (ensures DocIdSetIterator.nextDoc() is called before this method.

Returns:

true if more matching documents may remain.

Throws:

IOException

score

public abstract float score()
                     throws IOException

Returns the score of the current document matching the query. Initially invalid, until DocIdSetIterator.nextDoc() or DocIdSetIterator.advance(int) is called the first time, or when called from within Collector.collect(int).

Throws:

IOException

getWeight

public Weight getWeight()

returns parent Weight

getChildren

public Collection<Scorer.ChildScorer> getChildren()

Returns child sub-scorers
