             Summary: Add IntervalQuery and IntervalsSource to expose minimum 
interval semantics across term fields
                 Key: LUCENE-8196
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-8196
             Project: Lucene - Core
          Issue Type: New Feature
            Reporter: Alan Woodward
            Assignee: Alan Woodward
         Attachments: LUCENE-8196.patch

This ticket proposes an alternative implementation of the SpanQuery family that 
uses minimum-interval semantics from 
[http://vigna.di.unimi.it/ftp/papers/EfficientAlgorithmsMinimalIntervalSemantics.pdf]
 to implement positional queries across term-based fields.  Rather than using 
TermQueries to construct the interval operators, as in LUCENE-2878 or the 
current Spans implementation, we instead use a new IntervalsSource object, 
which will produce IntervalIterators over a particular segment and field.  
These are constructed using various static helper methods, and can then be 
passed to a new IntervalQuery which will return documents that contain one or 
more intervals so defined.
