Adrien Grand commented on LUCENE-9614:
--------------------------------------
Yes, caching relies on it though we always use rewritten queries as cache keys
so I might be over-zealous as it doesn't look like what you are considering
would be worse than all the rewrite methods we have that select terms to keep
based on global index statistics.
> Implement KNN Query
> -------------------
>
> Key: LUCENE-9614
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-9614
> Project: Lucene - Core
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Michael Sokolov
> Priority: Major
>
> Now we have a vector index format, and one vector indexing/KNN search
> implementation, but the interface is low-level: you can search across a
> single segment only. We would like to expose a Query implementation.
> Initially, we want to support a usage where the KnnVectorQuery selects the
> k-nearest neighbors without regard to any other constraints, and these can
> then be filtered as part of an enclosing Boolean or other query.
> Later we will want to explore some kind of filtering *while* performing
> vector search, or a re-entrant search process that can yield further results.
> Because of the nature of knn search (all documents having any vector value
> match), it is more like a ranking than a filtering operation, and it doesn't
> really make sense to provide an iterator interface that can be merged in the
> usual way, in docid order, skipping ahead. It's not yet clear how to satisfy
> a query that is "k nearest neighbors satsifying some arbitrary Query", at
> least not without realizing a complete bitset for the Query. But this is for
> a later issue; *this* issue is just about performing the knn search in
> isolation, computing a set of (some given) K nearest neighbors, and providing
> an iterator over those.
