Robert Muir commented on LUCENE-4607:
-------------------------------------
When i did the cost estimate patch on LUCENE-4236, i chose a long too. but
there it was trying to estimate the number of documents visited,
e.g. the number of postings.
so the formula for a conjunction would be min(subscorer cost) * #subscorers,
and for a disjunction its just the sum of all the subscorer costs, and so on.
I felt like for scoring purposes this is more useful than the number of
documents, but thats just my opinion.

> this is essentially a spinnoff from LUCENE-4236
> We currently have no way to make any decsision on how costly a DISI is
> neither when we apply filters nor when we build conjunctions in BQ. Yet we
> have most of the information already and can easily expose them via a cost
> API such that BS and FilteredQuery can apply optimizations on per segment
> basis.
