Looking at git blame I see the current parameter was added here:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-6648. Previous
implementations supported a BitSet rather than a Query. I'm not really
sure what the use case is for applying additional filtering when
faceting. Perhaps it can support something like drill sideways??
