That would be inefficient because your PFPF will see
BloomFilteringPostingsFormat(field1 + Lucene40) and
BloomFilteringPostingsFormat(field2 + Lucene40) as fundamentally different
PostingsFormat instances and consequently create multiple files named
differently because it assumes these instances may be capable of using
radically different file structures.

But adding per-field handling here is not the way to solve this: its messy.
Per-Field handling should all be handled at a level above in
PerFieldPostingsFormat.
To solve what you speak of we just need to resolve LUCENE-4093. Then multiple
postings format instances that are 'the same' will be deduplicated correctly.

> Key: LUCENE-4069
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-4069
> Project: Lucene - Java
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: core/index
> Affects Versions: 3.6, 4.0
> Reporter: Mark Harwood
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 4.0, 3.6.1
>
> Attachments: BloomFilterPostings40.patch,
> MHBloomFilterOn3.6Branch.patch, PrimaryKey40PerformanceTestSrc.zip
>
>
> An addition to each segment which stores a Bloom filter for selected fields
> in order to give fast-fail to term searches, helping avoid wasted disk access.
> Best suited for low-frequency fields e.g. primary keys on big indexes with
> many segments but also speeds up general searching in my tests.
> Overview slideshow here:
> http://www.slideshare.net/MarkHarwood/lucene-bloomfilteredsegments
> Benchmarks based on Wikipedia content here: http://goo.gl/X7QqU
> Patch based on 3.6 codebase attached.
> There are no 3.6 API changes currently - to play just add a field with "_blm"
> on the end of the name to invoke special indexing/querying capability.
> Clearly a new Field or schema declaration(!) would need adding to APIs to
> configure the service properly.
> Also, a patch for Lucene4.0 codebase introducing a new PostingsFormat
