    public class ScoreCachingWrappingScorer

extends Scorer

A `Scorer` which wraps another scorer and caches the score of the current document. Successive calls to `score()` will return the same result and will not invoke the wrapped Scorer's score() method, unless the current document has changed.
This class might be useful due to the changes done to the `Collector` interface, in which the score is not computed for a document by default, only if the collector requests it. Some collectors may need to use the score in several places, however all they have in hand is a `Scorer` object, and might end up computing the score of a document more than once.

Constructor Summary
`ScoreCachingWrappingScorer(Scorer scorer)` Creates a new instance by wrapping the given scorer.

Method Summary
`int` `advance(int target)` Advances to the first beyond (see NOTE below) the current whose document number is greater than or equal to target.
`int` `docID()` Returns the following: -1 or `DocIdSetIterator.NO_MORE_DOCS` if `DocIdSetIterator.nextDoc()` or `DocIdSetIterator.advance(int)` were not called yet.
`Similarity` `getSimilarity()` Returns the Similarity implementation used by this scorer.
`int` `nextDoc()` Advances to the next document in the set and returns the doc it is currently on, or `DocIdSetIterator.NO_MORE_DOCS` if there are no more docs in the set. NOTE: after the iterator has exhausted you should not call this method, as it may result in unpredicted behavior.
`float` `score()` Returns the score of the current document matching the query.
`void` `score(Collector collector)` Scores and collects all matching documents.
`protected boolean` `score(Collector collector, int max, int firstDocID)` Expert: Collects matching documents in a range.

Constructor Detail

### ScoreCachingWrappingScorer

    public ScoreCachingWrappingScorer(Scorer scorer)

  Creates a new instance by wrapping the given scorer.

Method Detail

### score

    protected boolean score(Collector collector,
                            int max,
                            int firstDocID)
                     throws IOException

  Description copied from class: `Scorer`
  Expert: Collects matching documents in a range. Hook for optimization. Note, `firstDocID` is added to ensure that `DocIdSetIterator.nextDoc()` was called before this method.

  NOTE: Because of backwards compatibility, this method is still declared as protected, but it is intended to be public, because it's called from other classes (like BooleanScorer). If you subclass `Scorer`, you should declare the overridden method as public to ease transition to Lucene 4.0, where it will be public.

  Overrides:
    `score` in class `Scorer`
  Parameters:
    `collector` - The collector to which all matching documents are passed.
    `max` - Do not score documents past this.
    `firstDocID` - The first document ID (ensures `DocIdSetIterator.nextDoc()` is called before this method.
  Returns:
    true if more matching documents may remain.
  Throws:
    `IOException`

### getSimilarity

    public Similarity getSimilarity()

  Description copied from class: `Scorer`
  Returns the Similarity implementation used by this scorer.

  Overrides:
    `getSimilarity` in class `Scorer`

### score

    public float score()
                throws IOException

  Description copied from class: `Scorer`
  Returns the score of the current document matching the query. Initially invalid, until `DocIdSetIterator.nextDoc()` or `DocIdSetIterator.advance(int)` is called the first time, or when called from within `Collector.collect(int)`.

  Specified by:
    `score` in class `Scorer`
  Throws:
    `IOException`

### docID

    public int docID()

  Description copied from class: `DocIdSetIterator`
  Returns the following:
  - -1 or `DocIdSetIterator.NO_MORE_DOCS` if `DocIdSetIterator.nextDoc()` or `DocIdSetIterator.advance(int)` were not called yet.
  - `DocIdSetIterator.NO_MORE_DOCS` if the iterator has exhausted.
  - Otherwise it should return the doc ID it is currently on.

  Specified by:
    `docID` in class `DocIdSetIterator`

### nextDoc

    public int nextDoc()
                throws IOException

  Description copied from class: `DocIdSetIterator`
  Advances to the next document in the set and returns the doc it is currently on, or `DocIdSetIterator.NO_MORE_DOCS` if there are no more docs in the set.
  NOTE: after the iterator has exhausted you should not call this method, as it may result in unpredicted behavior.

  Specified by:
    `nextDoc` in class `DocIdSetIterator`
  Throws:
    `IOException`

### score

    public void score(Collector collector)
               throws IOException

  Description copied from class: `Scorer`
  Scores and collects all matching documents.

  Overrides:
    `score` in class `Scorer`
  Parameters:
    `collector` - The collector to which all matching documents are passed.
  Throws:
    `IOException`

### advance

    public int advance(int target)
                throws IOException

  Description copied from class: `DocIdSetIterator`
  Advances to the first beyond (see NOTE below) the current whose document number is greater than or equal to target. Returns the current document number or `DocIdSetIterator.NO_MORE_DOCS` if there are no more docs in the set.

  Behaves as if written:

       int advance(int target) {
         int doc;
         while ((doc = nextDoc()) < target) {
         }
         return doc;
       }

  Some implementations are considerably more efficient than that.

  NOTE: when `target ≤ current` implementations may opt not to advance beyond their current `DocIdSetIterator.docID()`.

  NOTE: this method may be called with `DocIdSetIterator.NO_MORE_DOCS` for efficiency by some Scorers. If your implementation cannot efficiently determine that it should exhaust, it is recommended that you check for that value in each call to this method.

  NOTE: after the iterator has exhausted you should not call this method, as it may result in unpredicted behavior.

  Specified by:
    `advance` in class `DocIdSetIterator`
  Throws:
    `IOException`
