Interface Rescorer

All Known Implementing Classes:
QueryRescorer

public interface Rescorer
A query rescorer interface used to re-rank the Top-K results of a previously executed search. Subclasses should borrow heavily from QueryRescorer because it is fairly well behaved and documents that tradeoffs that it is making. There is also an ExampleRescorer that is worth looking at.
