Hi Michael, I was looking at how filtering works, and I noticed there is,
I believe, another very big change.
Previously, if I remember correctly, when a Filter was added to a query,
it worked on the HitCollector level, with each matching document being
checked against the filter. The new code is more efficient when the filter
only contains a small number of "on" documents, because now the scorer's
skipTo is actually used.
Isn't this a change worth mentioning, or am I just imagining things? (If I
am, sorry.. Interestingly, I found in CHANGES.txt a mention of LUCENE-1169
which is about fixing a bug in that new code, but I don't see any mention
of that new code being written).
Thanks,
Nadav.
