## Class BulkScorer

- java.lang.Object
- - org.apache.lucene.search.BulkScorer

- Direct Known Subclasses:
    ConstantScoreQuery.ConstantBulkScorer, Weight.DefaultBulkScorer

      public abstract class BulkScorer
      extends Object

  This class is used to score a range of documents at once, and is returned by `Weight.bulkScorer(org.apache.lucene.index.LeafReaderContext)`. Only queries that have a more optimized means of scoring across a range of documents need to override this. Otherwise, a default implementation is wrapped around the `Scorer` returned by `Weight.scorer(org.apache.lucene.index.LeafReaderContext)`.

    All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods Concrete Methods
    Modifier and Type | Method and Description
    --- | ---
    `abstract long` | `cost()` Same as `DocIdSetIterator.cost()` for bulk scorers.
    `void` | `score(LeafCollector collector, Bits acceptDocs)` Scores and collects all matching documents.
    `abstract int` | `score(LeafCollector collector, Bits acceptDocs, int min, int max)` Collects matching documents in a range and return an estimation of the next matching document which is on or after `max`.

          public BulkScorer()

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### score

          public void score(LeafCollector collector,
                            Bits acceptDocs)
                     throws IOException

      Scores and collects all matching documents.
      Parameters:
        `collector` - The collector to which all matching documents are passed.
        `acceptDocs` - `Bits` that represents the allowed documents to match, or `null` if they are all allowed to match.
      Throws:
        `IOException`

    - #### score

          public abstract int score(LeafCollector collector,
                                    Bits acceptDocs,
                                    int min,
                                    int max)
                             throws IOException

      Collects matching documents in a range and return an estimation of the next matching document which is on or after `max`.

      The return value must be:

      - >= `max`,
      - `DocIdSetIterator.NO_MORE_DOCS` if there are no more matches,
      - <= the first matching document that is >= `max` otherwise.

      `min` is the minimum document to be considered for matching. All documents strictly before this value must be ignored.

      Although `max` would be a legal return value for this method, higher values might help callers skip more efficiently over non-matching portions of the docID space.

      For instance, a `Scorer`-based implementation could look like below:

           private final Scorer scorer; // set via constructor

           public int score(LeafCollector collector, Bits acceptDocs, int min, int max) throws IOException {
             collector.setScorer(scorer);
             int doc = scorer.docID();
             if (doc < min) {
               doc = scorer.advance(min);
             }
             while (doc < max) {
               if (acceptDocs == null || acceptDocs.get(doc)) {
                 collector.collect(doc);
               }
               doc = scorer.nextDoc();
             }
             return doc;
           }

      Parameters:
        `collector` - The collector to which all matching documents are passed.
        `acceptDocs` - `Bits` that represents the allowed documents to match, or `null` if they are all allowed to match.
        `min` - Score starting at, including, this document
        `max` - Score up to, but not including, this doc
      Returns:
        an under-estimation of the next matching doc after max
      Throws:
        `IOException`

    - #### cost

          public abstract long cost()

      Same as `DocIdSetIterator.cost()` for bulk scorers.
