             Summary: CombinedFieldsQuery to use fieldAndWeights.values() when 
constructing MultiNormsLeafSimScorer for scoring
                 Key: LUCENE-10236
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-10236
             Project: Lucene - Core
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: modules/sandbox
            Reporter: Zach Chen
            Assignee: Zach Chen


This is a spin-off issue from discussion in 
[https://github.com/apache/lucene/pull/418#issuecomment-967790816], for a quick 
fix in CombinedFieldsQuery scoring.

Currently CombinedFieldsQuery would use a constructed 
[fields|https://github.com/apache/lucene/blob/3b914a4d73eea8923f823cbdb869de39213411dd/lucene/sandbox/src/java/org/apache/lucene/sandbox/search/CombinedFieldQuery.java#L420-L421]
 object to create a MultiNormsLeafSimScorer for scoring, but the fields object 
may contain duplicated field-weight pairs as it is [built from looping over 
fieldTerms|https://github.com/apache/lucene/blob/3b914a4d73eea8923f823cbdb869de39213411dd/lucene/sandbox/src/java/org/apache/lucene/sandbox/search/CombinedFieldQuery.java#L404-L414],
 resulting into duplicated norms being added during scoring calculation in 
MultiNormsLeafSimScorer. 

E.g. for CombinedFieldsQuery with two fields and two values matching a 
particular doc:

 
{code:java}
CombinedFieldQuery query =
    new CombinedFieldQuery.Builder()
        .addField("field1", (float) 1.0)
        .addField("field2", (float) 1.0)
        .addTerm(new BytesRef("foo"))
        .addTerm(new BytesRef("zoo"))
        .build(); {code}
 

I would imagine the scoring to be based on the following:
 # Sum of freqs on doc = freq(field1:foo) + freq(field2:foo) + freq(field1:zoo) 
+ freq(field2:zoo)
 # Sum of norms on doc = norm(field1) + norm(field2)

but the current logic would use the following for scoring:
 # Sum of freqs on doc = freq(field1:foo) + freq(field2:foo) + freq(field1:zoo) 
+ freq(field2:zoo)
 # Sum of norms on doc = norm(field1) + norm(field2) + norm(field1) + 
norm(field2)

In addition, this differs from how MultiNormsLeafSimScorer is constructed from 
CombinedFieldsQuery explain function, which [uses 
fieldAndWeights.values()|https://github.com/apache/lucene/blob/3b914a4d73eea8923f823cbdb869de39213411dd/lucene/sandbox/src/java/org/apache/lucene/sandbox/search/CombinedFieldQuery.java#L387-L389]
 and does not contain duplicated field-weight pairs.
