### currentScore

    public abstract float currentScore(int docId,
                                       String field,
                                       int start,
                                       int end,
                                       int numPayloadsSeen,
                                       float currentScore,
                                       float currentPayloadScore)

  Calculate the score up to this point for this doc and field

  Parameters:
    `docId` - The current doc
    `field` - The field
    `start` - The start position of the matching Span
    `end` - The end position of the matching Span
    `numPayloadsSeen` - The number of payloads seen so far
    `currentScore` - The current score so far
    `currentPayloadScore` - The score for the current payload
  Returns:
    The new current Score
  See Also:
    `Spans`

### docScore

    public abstract float docScore(int docId,
                                   String field,
                                   int numPayloadsSeen,
                                   float payloadScore)

  Calculate the final score for all the payloads seen so far for this doc/field

  Parameters:
    `docId` - The current doc
    `field` - The current field
    `numPayloadsSeen` - The total number of payloads seen on this document
    `payloadScore` - The raw score for those payloads
  Returns:
    The final score for the payloads

### explain

    public Explanation explain(int docId,
                               String field,
                               int numPayloadsSeen,
                               float payloadScore)

### hashCode

  Overrides:
    `hashCode` in class `Object`

### equals

    public abstract boolean equals(Object o)

  Overrides:
    `equals` in class `Object`
