/**
* Class used for determining an optimal query plan. It assigns a score
* between 0 and 1 to a list of QueryModelNodes. A lower score indicates
* that the List represents a better collection of nodes for building a query
* plan. Usually, the specified List is compared to a base List (original query),
* and the specified List (mutated query) is compared to the original to determine
* if there was any improvement in the query plan. This is meant to be used in conjunction
* with the method {@link ExternalSetMatcher#match(java.util.Iterator, com.google.common.base.Optional)}.
