do you mean rewrite: @foo:bar!='john' to not(@foo:bar='john') ?
Yes, of course. My mistake. Do you think that's an option?
no I don't, because those are not equivalent. while @foo:bar!='john' only
matches those nodes that *have* a @foo:bar property with a value not equal to
'john', not(@foo:bar='john') in addition also matches all nodes which do not
even have a @foo:bar property.
not(@foo:bar='john') and @foo:bar
is equivalent to @foo:bar!='john'. at least from a result perspective. the
lucene queries that are executed are probably not the same.
