Michael McCandless commented on LUCENE-7404:
--------------------------------------------

Can't you use the expressions module with function queries to get close to this?

> prepared query for introducing evaluation expression in query (not fixed 
> second comparation member)

> Lucene is very powerfull but has a limitation very important. It is 
> impossible to use when you want create a query where is a expression inside. 
> field1: >= field2  where field1 and field2 is not possible.
> field1:= field2^2 -4 *field3 
> it is pratically impossible to index statically document for this query but 
> it is possible to do 2 things:
> 1) create a third field hidden here is saved the result.
> 2) when you use a prepared query , it is saved automatically in a different 
> writer this info that you can save. 
> Creating a prepared query lucene do all automatically for making this query 
> using indexes. 
> PS. Pay attention that fields in expression could be not only inside the 
> current document but also in different documents/readers.
> It could be used also for join different document types(it is a subcase of 
> the above problem).
