Actually I was thinking in terms of Lucene for this question :) In Solr we have index sorting available via SortingMergePolicyFactory which can be leveraged via param segmentTerminateEarly=true
In Lucene, we moved to making index sort a first-class citizen. It records the index sort order on the segment and automatically leverages it at query time and terminates early as long as accurate hit counts is not needed However, I was curious if Lucene is able to take advantage of index sort for filters. If an index is sorted by categories and at query time if I filter by a category can that information be leveraged ?
