Uwe Schindler commented on LUCENE-5092:
---------------------------------------
-1 to add backwards iteration as separate instance or as part of the default
DocIdSetIterator interface.
Just define an interface with the backwards methods and let all classes
implement it. Then you would only have to check one time for the interface and
cast to the interface.
> join: don't expect all filters to be FixedBitSet instances

> Key: LUCENE-5092
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-5092
> Project: Lucene - Core
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: modules/join
> Reporter: Adrien Grand
> Assignee: Adrien Grand
> Priority: Minor
>
> The join module throws exceptions when the parents filter isn't a
> FixedBitSet. The reason is that the join module relies on prevSetBit to find
> the first child document given a parent ID.
> As suggested by Uwe and Paul Elschot on LUCENE-5081, we could fix it by
> exposing methods in the iterators to iterate backwards. When the join modules
> gets an iterator which isn't able to iterate backwards, it would just need to
> dump its content into another DocIdSet that supports backward iteration,
> FixedBitSet for example.
