Adrien Grand resolved LUCENE-9103.
----------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
> WANDScorer can miss some hits
> -----------------------------
>
> Key: LUCENE-9103
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-9103
> Project: Lucene - Core
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Adrien Grand
> Priority: Blocker
> Fix For: 8.4
>
>
> I found the issue while building the release candidate for 8.4. There is a
> rare bug in WANDScorer that occurs when a block is ignored because the sum of
> the maximum scores is less than the minimum competitive score. In that case
> WANDScorer advances until it finds a block where the sum of the maximum
> scores is greater than the minimum competitive score. Then it pops clauses
> from the tail until the maximum score of the tail gets smaller than the
> minimum competitive score, advances these clauses beyond the current target,
> and treats the smallest doc ID as the next candidate. This is where the bug
> lies: sometimes this candidate will be beyond the current block and
> WANDScorer won't update maximum scores of other clauses. In this case it
> might skip over hits thinking that they can't have a competitive score when
> in fact they could.
