Uwe Schindler commented on LUCENE-3593:
---------------------------------------

Robert: I already said that. The Filter could also live of the shortcuts, if 
getDocsWithField returns MatchAllBits it could shortcut to 
MatchAllDocsQuery/Filter or return null (depending on negation or not). In all 
cases this Filter could in all cases do some shortcuts :-)

I will provide a patch later adressing also the stupid "rely on 
ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException". I am not even sure that FieldCacheTermsFilter 
works correct in trunk... I would prefer to add the "< maxDoc" check in the 
iterator impl beyond FieldCacheDocIdSet.

> In some situations it would be useful to have a Filter that simply returns 
> all document that either have at least one or no value in a certain field. We 
> don't have something like that out of the box and adding it seems straight 
> forward.
