Michael McCandless commented on LUCENE-9640:
--------------------------------------------

Disclaimer: [~elbek....@gmail.com] and I both work at Amazon, on customer 
facing product search.  I suggested [~elbek....@gmail.com] to open this issue, 
but the idea is not very far along yet 

The idea here is to provide a better / more contained solution than 
{{Scorable.getChildren}} for tracking which query clause matched which hits. 
I.e. when Lucene users want to know if a given query clause matched each hit, 
they could wrap those clauses in {{TrackingQuery}}, but other clauses that they 
don't care about can remain as normal clauses.  They would also need custom 
{{Collector}} to record details from their {{TrackingQuery}}.

And then we could deprecate/remove {{Scorable.getChildren}}, maybe?

So this way it would only be {{TrackingQuery}} that suffers from the 
performance hit of to truly do "doc at a time scoring", rather than any 
{{BooleanQuery}}.

Or maybe it's a bad idea.  Or maybe there is some other way to enable users to 
track which query clause(s) matched which hits ...

> Some users benefit having {{TrackingQuery}} functionality. This query would 
> wrap another query and should be able to provide the matched DocIds for the 
> wrapped query after search is run.  For example a user running a boolean 
> query {{A or B}} could wrap query {{A}} into {{TrackingQuery}} and run the 
> boolean query and check if documents that matched the boolean query matches 
> the query {{A}}.
