-----------------------------------------
I have raised a PR for the `BulkScorer` approach. Please take a look and let me
know your thoughts.
> Add timeout support to IndexSearcher
> ------------------------------------
>
> Key: LUCENE-10151
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-10151
> Project: Lucene - Core
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: core/search
> Reporter: Greg Miller
> Priority: Minor
>
> I'd like to explore adding optional "timeout" capabilities to
> {{IndexSearcher}}. This would enable users to (optionally) specify a maximum
> time budget for search execution. If the search "times out", partial results
> would be available.
> This idea originated on the dev list (thanks [~jpountz] for the suggestion).
> Thread for reference:

> A couple things to watch out for with this change:
> # We want to make sure it's robust to a two-phase query evaluation scenario
> where the "approximate" step matches a large number of candidates but the
> "confirmation" step matches very few (or none). This is a particularly tricky
> case.
> # We want to make sure the {{TotalHits#Relation}} reported by {{TopDocs}} is
> {{GREATER_THAN_OR_EQUAL_TO}} if the query times out
> # We want to make sure it plays nice with the {{LRUCache}} since it iterates
> the query to pre-populate a {{BitSet}} when caching. That step shouldn't be
> allowed to overrun the timeout. The proper way to handle this probably needs
> some thought.
