-------------------------------------

[~ivera] Thanks, that makes sense. I have created an issue for the same: 
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-8769

 

However, I think that we should still optimize overlapping ranges as this issue 
proposes so that existing users also get the performance advantage.

 

[~jpountz] Any thoughts on how we could simplify the patch?

> Can we simplify conjunctions of range queries automatically?

> 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.
