/**
 * Factory for BM25Similarity. This is the default similarity since 8.x.
 * If you need the exact same formula as in 6.x and 7.x you should instead look at
 * {@link LegacyBM25SimilarityFactory}
 * 
 * Parameters:
 * 

 *   k1 (float): Controls non-linear term frequency normalization (saturation).
 *                   The default is 1.2
 *   
b (float): Controls to what degree document length normalizes tf values.
 *                  The default is 0.75
 * 
 * 
 * Optional settings:
 * 

 *   discountOverlaps (bool): Sets
 *       {@link BM25Similarity#setDiscountOverlaps(boolean)}
 * 
 * @lucene.experimental
 * @since 8.0.0
