Why not leave that decision to the program using the query? Something like this: - catch the TooManyClauses exception, - adapt (the offending parts of) the query to make these use a FieldNormQuery, - retry with a warning to the provider of the query that the term frequencies have been ignored. The only disadvantage of this is that the term expansion during rewrite has to be redone. Also, when enough terms are involved, they might still cause a memory problem because they are all needed at the same time.
