David Smiley commented on LUCENE-3918:
--------------------------------------
bq. Global ordering over a multi-segment index seems less useful than the local
per-segment ordering - after all, the main use cases are compression
improvements and early termination strategies, both of which operate on a
per-segment basis.
Those are two "main use-cases" but there is a third that (to me) is far more
important than either -- locality of reference. Retrieving documents near each
other (according to the configured sort order) should ideally have their stored
fields data very close together. The early-termination use-case is clearly
important to you but is not the goal of LUCENE-4752.
