+ * Disable numeric sort optimization to use the Points index to skip over
non-competitive
+ * documents. By default sorting on a numeric field activates point sort
optimization that can
+ * efficiently skip non-competitive hits. Sort optimization has a number of
requirements, one of
+ * which is that SortField.Type matches the Point type with which the field
was indexed (e.g. sort
+ * on IntPoint field should use SortField.Type.INT). Another requirement is
that the same data is
+ * indexed with points and doc values for the field.
+ *
+ * <p>This allows to disable sort optimization, in cases where these
requirements can't be met.
+ *
+ * @deprecated should only be used for compatibility with 8.x indices that
got created with
+ * inconsistent data across fields, or the wrong sort configuration in
the index sort

Review comment:
personally i think the default is handled by the boolean defaulting to
`true` ? Just thinking that an ordinary getter/setter is the most obvious way
to control it to have an intuitive API. It already looks much better
