I originally planned for this patch to kick in only when the number of clauses exceeds the threshold that would otherwise throw an exception - so better something that has no scores than nothing at all. This was brought to my attention because folks used those long lists of terms as exclusions/ inclusion filters in addition to more sane query criteria, something like: ``` foo bar -(long OR long OR list OR of OR excluded OR terms) ``` So it's in effect a filtering sub-clause that doesn't really need scores. I'm not saying it's the best way to solve the problem but it worked for the above. :) -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
