Adrien Grand commented on LUCENE-7899:
--------------------------------------
I think we should, I already failed multiple times to remember the name of this
query even though I knew we had one. Something like
{{DocValuesFieldExistsQuery}}? I'm tempted to go with a shorted name, but at
the same time I'd like to reserve name space so that we could also have a
norms-based implementation so that we could also find documents that have a
value for text fields.
> Add "exists" query for doc values

> Key: LUCENE-7899
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-7899
> Project: Lucene - Core
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Michael McCandless
> Assignee: Michael McCandless
> Fix For: 7.1
>
>
> I don't think we have a query today to efficiently test whether a doc values
> field exists (has any value) for each document in the index?
> Now that we use iterators to access doc values, this should be an efficient
> query: we can return the DISI we get for the doc values.
> ElasticSearch indexes its own field to record which field names occur in a
> document, so it's able to do "exists" for any field (not just doc values
> fields), but I think doc values fields we can just get "for free".
> I haven't started on this ... just wanted to open the issue first for
> discussion.
