<div class="markdown level1 summary"><p>This method can be overridden by extending classes to return a sentinel
object which will be used by the <a class="xref" href="Lucene.Net.Util.PriorityQueue-1.html#Lucene_Net_Util_PriorityQueue_1__ctor_System_Int32_System_Boolean_">PriorityQueue(Int32, Boolean)</a>
constructor to fill the queue, so that the code which uses that queue can always
assume it&apos;s full and only change the top without attempting to insert any new
object.
<p>
Those sentinel values should always compare worse than any non-sentinel
value (i.e., <a class="xref" href="Lucene.Net.Util.PriorityQueue-1.html#Lucene_Net_Util_PriorityQueue_1_LessThan__0__0_">LessThan(T, T)</a> should always favor the
non-sentinel values).
<p>
By default, this method returns <code>false</code>, which means the queue will not be
filled with sentinel values. Otherwise, the value returned will be used to
pre-populate the queue. Adds sentinel values to the queue.
<p>
If this method is extended to return a non-null value, then the following
usage pattern is recommended:</p>
<pre><code>// extends GetSentinelObject() to return a non-null value.
PriorityQueue&lt;MyObject> pq = new MyQueue&lt;MyObject>(numHits);
// save the &apos;top&apos; element, which is guaranteed to not be null.
MyObject pqTop = pq.Top;
&lt;...>
// now in order to add a new element, which is &apos;better&apos; than top (after
// you&apos;ve verified it is better), it is as simple as:
pqTop.Change().
pqTop = pq.UpdateTop();</code></pre>
<p><p>
<strong>NOTE:</strong> if this method returns a non-<code>null</code> value, it will be called by
the <a class="xref" href="Lucene.Net.Util.PriorityQueue-1.html#Lucene_Net_Util_PriorityQueue_1__ctor_System_Int32_System_Boolean_">PriorityQueue(Int32, Boolean)</a> constructor
<a class="xref" href="Lucene.Net.Util.PriorityQueue-1.html#Lucene_Net_Util_PriorityQueue_1_Count">Count</a> times, relying on a new object to be returned and will not
check if it&apos;s <code>null</code> again. Therefore you should ensure any call to this
method creates a new instance and behaves consistently, e.g., it cannot
return <code>null</code> if it previously returned non-<code>null</code>.</p>
