David Smiley commented on SOLR-7759:
------------------------------------

I'm royally confused.  No matter what type of replica you have (NRT/TLOG/PULL), 
a shard is a subset of the index as a whole and therefore might have skewed 
stats, particularly for rare terms or if the sharding isn't purely uniform 
(such as if you need to group types of documents together).  Distributed-stats 
is to ensure you get a global view.  The replica type might influence how up to 
date a specific replica is (NRT being fully up to date, TLOG & PULL not), and 
maybe that could lead to out of date stats if distributed-stats talks to TLOG 
or PULL replicas that are not leaders.  But we're not discussing that here.

> Currently when we use debugQuery to see the explanation of the matched 
> documents, the query fired to get the statistics for the matched documents is 
> not a distributed query.
> This is a problem when using distributed idf. The actual documents are being 
> scored using the global stats and not per shard stats , but the explain will 
> show us the score by taking into account the stats from the shard where the 
> document belongs to.
> We should try to implement the explain query as a distributed request so that 
> the scores match the actual document scores.
