Robert Muir commented on LUCENE-5418:
-------------------------------------
The same applies to next() really: so the whole thing is that for such filters,
we should only be using Bits.
> Don't use .advance on costly (e.g. distance range facets) filters

> If you use a distance filter today (see
> http://blog.mikemccandless.com/2014/01/geospatial-distance-faceting-using.html
> ), then drill down on one of those ranges, under the hood Lucene is using
> .advance on the Filter, which is very costly because we end up computing
> distance on (possibly many) hits that don't match the query.
> It's better performance to find the hits matching the Query first, and then
> check the filter.
> FilteredQuery can already do this today, when you use its
> QUERY_FIRST_FILTER_STRATEGY. This essentially accomplishes the same thing as
> Solr's "post filters" (I think?) but with a far simpler/better/less code
> approach.
> E.g., I believe ElasticSearch uses this API when it applies costly filters.
> Longish term, I think Query/Filter ought to know itself that it's expensive,
> and cases where such a Query/Filter is MUST'd onto a BooleanQuery (e.g.
> ConstantScoreQuery), or the Filter is a clause in BooleanFilter, or it's
> passed to IndexSearcher.search, we should also be "smart" here and not call
> .advance on such clauses. But that'd be a biggish change ... so for today
> the "workaround" is the user must carefully construct the FilteredQuery
> themselves.
> In the mean time, as another workaround, I want to fix DrillSideways so that
> when you drill down on such filters it doesn't use .advance; this should give
> a good speedup for the "normal path" API usage with a costly filter.
> I'm iterating on the lucene server branch (LUCENE-5376) but once it's working
> I plan to merge this back to trunk / 4.7.
