             Summary: Can we do "doc at a time scoring" from the BKD tree for 
exact queries?
                 Key: LUCENE-8854
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-8854
             Project: Lucene - Core
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Michael McCandless


Random idea: normally our point queries must walk the BKD tree, building up a 
sparse or dense bitset as a 1st pass, then in 2nd pass run the "normal" query 
scorers (postings, doc values), because the docids coming out across leaf 
blocks are not in docid order, like postings and doc values.

But, if the query is an exact point query, I think we tie break our within leaf 
block sorts by docid, and that'd even apply across multiple leaf blocks (if 
that value occurs enough times) and so for that case we could avoid the 2 
passes and do it all in one pass maybe?
