Alan Woodward commented on LUCENE-8477:
---------------------------------------
I like [~jpountz]'s suggestion just to document this. Parser implementers can
check for disjunctions with variable lengths and push those up the tree.
[~Martin Hermann] or [~gol...@detego-software.de] would this work for you?

> Key: LUCENE-8477
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-8477
> Project: Lucene - Core
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Alan Woodward
> Priority: Major
>
> The current implementation of the disjunction interval produced by
> {{Intervals.or}} is a direct implementation of the OR operator from the Vigna
> paper. This produces minimal intervals, meaning that (a) is preferred over
> (a b), and (b) also over (a b). This has advantages when it comes to
> counting intervals for scoring, but also has drawbacks when it comes to
> matching. For example, a phrase query for ((a OR (a b)) BLOCK (c)) will not
> match the document (a b c), because (a) will be preferred over (a b), and (a
> c) does not match.
> This ticket is to discuss the best way of dealing with disjunctions.
