Filters are great for fields with small cardinality (majority of terms in normal collection) or things that are sorted (assuming Paul's patch gets commited so we do not use BitSet and we could use less memory hungry structures like interval lists :) With BitSet, paradoxically it makes sense to use them for high freq. terms to save memory
Also, filters loose scoring values of earlier clauses that are filtered for drilling down. Adding required clauses to a boolean query and searching this query combines the scoring values of all clauses. > > Hi commiters, any chance of getting rid of BitSet in Filter?
