Mike Sokolov commented on LUCENE-3318:
--------------------------------------
Thanks for the pointers; I'll follow up soon.
Re: rewriting MultiTermQueries: the code that is in the patch is definitely
just a starting point. It has the problems you pointed out Uwe, and also won't
work properly in the case where a MTQ is not the top-level query: (foo* AND
bar*) eg.
This issue is dealt with in the current system by some complex handcrafted
logic in WeightedSpanTermExtractor (via QueryScorer), which we are not using
here. I hope we can do something simpler, but we do need to walk the query tree
cloning MTQs at least - this seems to be what WeightedSpanTermExtractor does.
Also - I did run a quick test to check, and it seems that the existing HL may
throw a TooManyClauses in the same situation we would here. Perhaps HL
consumers expect this? I think I agree that it would be more friendly to catch
internally, though - can the consumer recover in any other way? I don't think
so.

> Spinn off from LUCENE-2878. Since we have positions on a large number of
> queries already in the branch is worth looking at highlighting as a real
> consumer of the API. A prototype is already committed.
