Michael McCandless commented on LUCENE-4271:


I think it's odd to add syntax to Lucene's query parser that does ... nothing?

And it's strange to make Lucene's QP aware of Solr QP's syntax if it cannot do 
anything with it.  It seems like Solr's QP should have this logic instead ...

bq. Since I've opened this issue, I've seen even more people try to use {!foo} 
syntax directly in a lucene query string.

I'm confused: how would this patch help such users?  Ie if they are using 
Lucene's QP this patch doesn't seem to help them ... if users are trying to use 
Solr's syntax with Lucene's query parser, it seems like we should make it 
easier for them to use Solr's query parsers (factor them out)...?

{quote}
Is the intention to mandate the !var syntax too? That seems like a pretty Solr 
specific thing (being able to delegate the parsing to a QParser) but I can 
imagine someone just wanting a map of values, e.g.

\{arg_1=val_1 arg_2=val_2\} word
{quote}

Right: if we added functionality to Lucene's QP that parsed those arg/val's to 
an accessible MapString,String ... I think that would be a useful addition?  
I agree we really shouldn't bake in Solr specific syntax into Lucene's QP ...

Indeed - but it requires changes to the parser grammar, so subclassing doesn't 
cut it.
I suppose the next best thing would be to make a QP specific to Solr.

Jack Krupansky commented on LUCENE-4271:


I don't see anything wrong with supporting parameterized queries and multiple 
query parsers down at the lowest level of the Lucene Query Parser. I don't mean 
to suggest that the Lucene Query Parser should know directly about the 
Solr-level structures such as the Solr schema, Solr params, and Solr Q Parser 
plugins, but I am suggesting that Lucene could declare and support abstractions 
for those sorts of interfaces, and then the Solr-level Qparser/plugin would 
supply all of them, and pure Lucene application could optionally use them as 
well, either with additional query parser methods or subclassing. This should 
also include full support for dismax fields and aliases as well. and things 
like support for full negative queries.

There are lots of useful features which are available in the Solr query parsers 
which are unavailable directly to Lucene apps without a lot of effort, and for 
no good reason.

I mean, as long as these features don't impact performance or ease of 
programming for simple Lucene apps, what possible legitimate objection could 
there be?

The current estrangement between the Lucene and Solr query parsers is quite a 
black eye for Lucene/Solr that can easily be remedied, at least from a 
technical perspective.

In the context of this current Jira, why not provide an additional Lucene query 
parser method to provide a simple keyword/value map of parameters that can be 
substituted into a query? Seems to make solid sense to me!

I don't think we should consider that a bad thing.  Solr has different needs 
and the classic QP is sort of the lowest common denominator of parsers.

bq. I don't mean to suggest that the Lucene Query Parser should know directly 
about the Solr-level structures such as the Solr schema, Solr params, and 
Solr Q Parser plugins, but I am suggesting that Lucene could declare and 
support abstractions for those sorts of interfaces

I don't think we can practical extend the classic QP in every way just to meet 
Solr's needs.  

bq. There are lots of useful features which are available in the Solr query 
parsers which are unavailable directly to Lucene apps without a lot of effort, 
and for no good reason.

.. then the Lucene apps should use the Solr QPs or a version there of.  The 
Classic QP was moved out of Lucene core for many reasons, but one was to combat 
this perspective that its 'the' QP when it is in fact just one particular 
implementation (an implementation which has lots of limitations).  Users should 
be encouraged to use whatever QP meets their needs and we shouldn't make the 
classic QP a kitchen sink.

bq. The current estrangement between the Lucene and Solr query parsers is 
quite a black eye for Lucene/Solr that can easily be remedied, at least from a 
technical perspective.

I think we should go further and fully divorce them.  Solr has its needs and 
the handling of LocalParams clearly seems to be confusing users but it isn't 
something the classic QP should have to resolve.  Equally, Solr development 
shouldn't be saddled with having to compromise its query features just so they 
fit into the classic QP.  As I say, the classic QP is the lowest common 
denominator of query syntax and parsing and I would recommend to any user (Solr 
or not) that when they need to make a large syntactical change, that they roll 
their own parser.

Yes, that's what this issue is about.
A lot of Solr users try to use the {!foo=bar} syntax directly in the lucene 
query syntax without realizing there is not direct support today (i.e. there is 
only the indirect \_query\_ hack to get it to work)

Will a query have a single set of params, or will each clause potentially have

Each clause would have it's own... this is really about adding a LocalParams 
style query as a clause.
It's really just about the ability to leave off the _query_ magic field name 
and quotes in the current style of embedding one can do.

Complex example:

{code}
+foo -bar +{!baz arg=val} word -{!raw f=myfield v=the raw term} +anotherword
{code}
