Description
I would like to contribute a class based on the MoreLikeThis class in
contrib/queries that generates a query based on the tags associated
with a document. The class assumes that documents are tagged with a
set of tags (which are stored in the index in a seperate Field). The
class determines the top document terms associated with a given tag
using the information gain metric.
While generating a MoreLikeThis query for a document the tags
associated with document are used to determine the terms in the query.
This class is useful for finding similar documents to a document that
does not have many relevant terms but was tagged.

Research direction
Start with MoreLikeThis in contrib/queries and review the attached LUCENE-1910.patch. Trace how tags are stored in a separate indexed field and how the proposed class selects terms using information gain. Done means a tag-aware MoreLikeThis query can use a document's tags to find similar documents with few relevant terms.
