Tim Sturge commented on LUCENE-1487:
------------------------------------

Mark, Otis, looking back over the bug history I totally see where you are 
coming from; I do look like I've just dumped this here without explanation 
which wasn't my intention.

Honestly I don't really know how useful this is; I think there's a set of cases 
where it works very well but how comparatively large that set is I am unsure. 
You can think of it as adding a level of indirection (from documents to terms) 
to filtering. 

The alternative (at least as far as I can see) is to do a union by term of 
sorted docid lists (which is fundamentally what a DisjunctionQuery does I 
think). There may well be other options.

> This is a companion to FieldCacheRangeFilter except it operates on a set of 
> terms rather than a range. It works best when the set is comparatively large 
> or the terms are comparatively common.
