John Wang commented on LUCENE-1506:
-----------------------------------
Filter calculates a DocSet given an IndexReader. Imagine a large index, and the
logic to calculate whether it is in the set is non-trivial, so building this
DocSet can be expensive.
So in the case where the driving query produces a very small result set, the
validation can be performed only on the small set via the match call.
Yes, in terms of functionality, one can do this with a filter, but it is
wasteful to perform the validation calculation on the entire index where the
candidates to be in the hits set is small.
