## Class TopScoreDocCollector

- java.lang.Object
- - org.apache.lucene.search.TopDocsCollector<ScoreDoc>
  - - org.apache.lucene.search.TopScoreDocCollector

All Implemented Interfaces:
  Collector

    public abstract class TopScoreDocCollector
    extends TopDocsCollector<ScoreDoc>

A `Collector` implementation that collects the top-scoring hits, returning them as a `TopDocs`. This is used by `IndexSearcher` to implement `TopDocs`-based search. Hits are sorted by score descending and then (when the scores are tied) docID ascending. When you create an instance of this collector you should know in advance whether documents are going to be collected in doc Id order or not.

NOTE: The values `Float.NaN` and `Float.NEGATIVE_INFINITY` are not valid scores. This collector will not properly collect hits with such scores.

### Field Summary

### Fields inherited from class org.apache.lucene.search.TopDocsCollector

`EMPTY_TOPDOCS, pq, totalHits, totalHitsRelation`

### Method Summary

All Methods Static Methods Instance Methods Concrete Methods
`static TopScoreDocCollector` `create(int numHits, int totalHitsThreshold)` Creates a new `TopScoreDocCollector` given the number of hits to collect and the number of hits to count accurately.
`static TopScoreDocCollector` `create(int numHits, ScoreDoc after, int totalHitsThreshold)` Creates a new `TopScoreDocCollector` given the number of hits to collect, the bottom of the previous page, and the number of hits to count accurately.
`static CollectorManager<TopScoreDocCollector,TopDocs>` `createSharedManager(int numHits, FieldDoc after, int totalHitsThreshold)` Create a CollectorManager which uses a shared hit counter to maintain number of hits and a shared `MaxScoreAccumulator` to propagate the minimum score accross segments
`protected TopDocs` `newTopDocs(ScoreDoc[] results, int start)` Returns a `TopDocs` instance containing the given results.
`ScoreMode` `scoreMode()` Indicates what features are required from the scorer.

### Method Detail

#### create

    public static TopScoreDocCollector create(int numHits,
                                              int totalHitsThreshold)

Creates a new `TopScoreDocCollector` given the number of hits to collect and the number of hits to count accurately.

NOTE: If the total hit count of the top docs is less than or exactly `totalHitsThreshold` then this value is accurate. On the other hand, if the `TopDocs.totalHits` value is greater than `totalHitsThreshold` then its value is a lower bound of the hit count. A value of `Integer.MAX_VALUE` will make the hit count accurate but will also likely make query processing slower.

NOTE: The instances returned by this method pre-allocate a full array of length `numHits`, and fill the array with sentinel objects.

#### create

    public static TopScoreDocCollector create(int numHits,
                                              ScoreDoc after,
                                              int totalHitsThreshold)

Creates a new `TopScoreDocCollector` given the number of hits to collect, the bottom of the previous page, and the number of hits to count accurately.

NOTE: If the total hit count of the top docs is less than or exactly `totalHitsThreshold` then this value is accurate. On the other hand, if the `TopDocs.totalHits` value is greater than `totalHitsThreshold` then its value is a lower bound of the hit count. A value of `Integer.MAX_VALUE` will make the hit count accurate but will also likely make query processing slower.

NOTE: The instances returned by this method pre-allocate a full array of length `numHits`, and fill the array with sentinel objects.

#### createSharedManager

    public static CollectorManager<TopScoreDocCollector,TopDocs> createSharedManager(int numHits,
                                                                                     FieldDoc after,
                                                                                     int totalHitsThreshold)

Create a CollectorManager which uses a shared hit counter to maintain number of hits and a shared `MaxScoreAccumulator` to propagate the minimum score accross segments

#### newTopDocs

    protected TopDocs newTopDocs(ScoreDoc[] results,
                                 int start)

Description copied from class: `TopDocsCollector`
Returns a `TopDocs` instance containing the given results. If `results` is null it means there are no results to return, either because there were 0 calls to collect() or because the arguments to topDocs were invalid.

Overrides:
  `newTopDocs` in class `TopDocsCollector<ScoreDoc>`

#### scoreMode

    public ScoreMode scoreMode()

Description copied from interface: `Collector`
Indicates what features are required from the scorer.

#### updateGlobalMinCompetitiveScore

    protected void updateGlobalMinCompetitiveScore(Scorable scorer)
                                            throws IOException

Throws:
  `IOException`

#### updateMinCompetitiveScore

    protected void updateMinCompetitiveScore(Scorable scorer)
                                      throws IOException

Throws:
  `IOException`
