Michael McCandless commented on LUCENE-1951:
--------------------------------------------
Patch looks good, thanks Robert! And those are good perf numbers;
rewriting to PrefixQuery seems a clear win.
The only thing that makes me nervous here is we've baked-in MTQ's
rewrite logic into WildcardQuery.rewrite. Ie, MTQ in general accepts
any rewrite method, and so conceivably one could create their own
rewrite method and then see that it's unused in the special case where
WildcardQuery is a single term.
And while it's true today that if the rewrite method != scoring
boolean query, it must be a constant scoring one, that could
conceivably some day change.
Maybe a different approach would be to make a degenerate
"SingleTermEnum" (subclasses FilteredTermEnum) that produces only a
single term? Then in getEnum we could return that, instead, so the
rewrite method remains intact?

>
> wildcardquery has logic to rewrite to termquery if there is no wildcard
> character, but
> * it needs to pass along the boost if it does this
> * if the user asked for a 'constant score' rewriteMethod, it should rewrite
> to a constant score query for consistency.
> additionally, if the query is really a prefixquery, it would be nice to
> rewrite to prefix query.
> both will enumerate the same number of terms, but prefixquery has a simpler
> comparison function.
