Compare hit at slot1 with hit at slot2.

Compare the bottom of the queue with doc. This will only invoked after setBottom has been called. This should return the same result as {@link #Compare(int,int)}} as if bottom were slot1 and the new document were slot 2.

For a search that hits many results, this method will be the hotspot (invoked by far the most frequently).

This method is called when a new hit is competitive. You should copy any state associated with this document that will be required for future comparisons, into the specified slot.

Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object.

Allows an Object to attempt to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before the Object is reclaimed by garbage collection.

Serves as a hash function for a particular type.

Gets the Type of the current instance.

Creates a shallow copy of the current Object.

Set the bottom slot, ie the "weakest" (sorted last) entry in the queue. When {@link #compareBottom} is called, you should compare against this slot. This will always be called before {@link #compareBottom}.

Set a new Reader. All doc correspond to the current Reader.

Sets the Scorer to use in case a document's score is needed.

Returns a String that represents the current Object.

Return the actual value in the slot.
