While function scores using scripts do allow explanations, they are only
creatable with an expert plugin. This commit improves the situation for
the newer script score query by adding the ability to set the
explanation from the script itself.
To set the explanation, a user would check for `explanation != null` to
indicate an explanation is needed, and then call
`explanation.set("some description")`.
Currently when a document misses a vector value, vector function
returns 0 as a score for this document. We think this is incorrect
behaviour.
With this change, an error will be thrown if vector functions are
used with docs that are missing vector doc values.
Also VectorScriptDocValues is modified to allow size() function,
which can be used to check if a document has a value for the
vector field.
Typically, dense vectors of both documents and queries must have the same
number of dimensions. Different number of dimensions among documents
or query vector indicate an error. This PR enforces that all vectors
for the same field have the same number of dimensions. It also enforces
that query vectors have the same number of dimensions.
To make script_score query to have the same features
as function_score query, we need to add randomScore
function.
This function produces different
random scores on different index shards.
It is also able to produce random scores
based on the internal Lucene Document Ids.
Ranaming as follows:
feature -> rank_feature
feature_vector -> rank_features
feature query -> rank_feature query
Ranaming is done to distinguish from other vector types.
