> For the alternative implementation we leave that up to the final hit collection to return the top-k based on a ranking mechanism Those final TopDocs collectors will use the score generated by the Rerank query, which is the rerank mechanism we are implementing. I'm not really sure I follow the concern here. In both cases, you need to score all the docs to find top-K. In this one, you do it during rewrite and maintain your own HitQueue. In the other, you do it in Scorer and leverage TopDocs collector or whatever collector is needed. The alternate approach is more flexible, you can vary how many hits you want to work with (upto oversample limit). But computationally, it's not more expensive. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
