Uwe Schindler commented on LUCENE-1345:
---------------------------------------

Here is a nice idea, how to merge Filters and Queries:

Why not just combine ConstantScoreQuery and the current abstract Filter APIs to 
a new Filter class. This would make it possible, to use every filter as a 
query. The new abstract filter class would contain all methods of 
ConstantScoreQuery and it would even be backwards compatible. If somebody 
implements the filters getDocIdSet()/bits() methods he has nothing more to do, 
he could just use the filter as a normal query.

For some performance improvements when combining more than one filter in a 
BooleanQuery (e.g. anding/oring the iterators, filtering,...) the code of 
BooleanQuery could use instanceof.
