If you don't have low-level access to the framework that can retrieve a batch list of accessible IDs, document-by-document checking of ACL will be _painful_.
I implemented ACL checking via Filters. Caching filters definitely helps, but may not be applicable in every situation. I stored the UUID of each document in the database as well as in Lucene. That way, by retrieving a list of accessible documents via SQL, I can create the necessary BitSet.
