Support Query Visting / Walking
-------------------------------

                 Key: LUCENE-3041
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-3041
             Project: Lucene - Java
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Search
            Reporter: Chris Male
            Priority: Minor


Out of the discussion in LUCENE-2868, it could be useful to add a generic Query 
Visitor / Walker that could be used for more advanced rewriting, optimizations 
or anything that requires state to be stored as each Query is visited.

We could keep the interface very simple:

{code}
public interface QueryVisitor {
  Query visit(Query query);
}
{code}

and then use a reflection based visitor like Earwin suggested, which would 
allow implementators to provide visit methods for just Querys that they are 
interested in.
