You might try something like:
construct an int[] array that has an "account number" for each document
construct a BitSet to keep track of whether you've seen a hit for each
account
use a HitCollector that uses these as follows:
if (!seen.get(accounts[doc])) {
seen.set(accounts[doc]);
collect(doc);
}
That should be quite fast.
You'll want to construct the accounts array once when you open the index,
perhaps by enumerating some terms that store this information. You'll need
to construct a new "seen" BitSet for each query, or clear a cached one.
