Using Lucene Filter with SolrIndexSearcher

[Aleksandar Bradic]

Hi all,

Any ideas on how to use custom Lucene Filter (lucene.search.Filter) in  
conjuction with SolrIndexSearcher ?

The case is writing custom Filter performing arbitrary records  
selection and AND-ing it to the existing filters passed in the query.

However, the ResponseBuilder filters are Query objects, and there is  
no visible means of mixing those with Filter's in the standard  
QueryCommand object.

(There is a search(Query query, Filter filter, Sort sort) method that  
allow passing of Filter but no way of mixing it with existing query.  
Also, using this means immediate loss of all caching benefits etc.).

Any other idea on how to pass a custom filter applying arbitrary user- 
defined logic (for example "random drop of 30% records from result  
set"), to standard query would be useful as well.

Thanks,
.Alek
