Yes it makes sense to do queries like
where name or title = "foo" AND description or content contains "bar"
over a heterogeneous set (say books and DVDs)
But if you had in mind to do joins between different entries in the
cache, then this would require some cross-cache map reduce and be
inefficient so that's not a good use case.

Really? I think we have the info in the index at least when the
"ProvidedId" and the keys are the same.

Right, I'm not sure Sanne agrees with me yet but you need to store the
cache name in the index. Hibernate Search can reason at query time to
see if it can avoid using this term to speed things up (massively). That
will depend whether or no indexes are shared between caches.
