Atri Sharma commented on LUCENE-8708:
-------------------------------------
We could extend this approach to identify overlapping ranges ([5, 20], [15, 35]
can be converted to 5 to 35).
I can take a crack at this one, if you are not planning to actively work on it
> Can we simplify conjunctions of range queries automatically?

> Key: LUCENE-8708
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-8708
> Project: Lucene - Core
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Adrien Grand
> Priority: Minor
>
> BooleanQuery#rewrite already has some logic to make queries more efficient,
> such as deduplicating filters or rewriting boolean queries that wrap a single
> positive clause to that clause.
> It would be nice to also simplify conjunctions of range queries, so that eg.
> {{foo: [5 TO *] AND foo:[* TO 20]}} would be rewritten to {{foo:[5 TO 20]}}.
> When constructing queries manually or via the classic query parser, it feels
> unnecessary as this is something that the user can fix easily. However if you
> want to implement a query parser that only allows specifying one bound at
> once, such as Gmail ({{after:2018-12-31}}
> https://support.google.com/mail/answer/7190?hl=en) or GitHub
> ({{updated:>=2018-12-31}}
> https://help.github.com/en/articles/searching-issues-and-pull-requests#search-by-when-an-issue-or-pull-request-was-created-or-last-updated)
> then you might end up with inefficient queries if the end user specifies
> both an upper and a lower bound. It would be nice if we optimized those
> automatically.
