Method Details

get

public abstract Scorer get(long leadCost)
                    throws IOException

Get the Scorer. This may not return null and must be called at most once.

Parameters:

leadCost - Cost of the scorer that will be used in order to lead iteration. This can be interpreted as an upper bound of the number of times that DocIdSetIterator.nextDoc(), DocIdSetIterator.advance(int) and TwoPhaseIterator.matches() will be called. Under doubt, pass Long.MAX_VALUE, which will produce a Scorer that has good iteration capabilities.

Throws:

IOException

cost

public abstract long cost()

Get an estimate of the Scorer that would be returned by get(long). This may be a costly operation, so it should only be called if necessary.
