> {{SortedSetDocValues.lookupTerm(BytesRef)}} performs a binary search of the entire docValues range to find the ordinal of the requested BytesRef.
> For an individual invocation, this is optimal. Without other context, binary search needs to cover the entire space.
> But there are some common uses of {{lookupTerm}} where this shouldn't be necessary. For example: making multiple {{lookupTerm}} calls to fetch the ordinals for each value in a sorted list of terms. {{lookupTerm}} will binary-search the whole space on each invocation, even though the caller knows that there's no point searching anything before the ordinal that came back from the previous {{lookupTerm}} call.
> I propose we add a {{SortedSetDocValues.lookupTerm}} overload which takes a lower-bound to start the binary search at: {{public long lookupTerm(BytesRef key, long lowerSearchBound) throws IOException}} This saves each binary-search a few iterations in usage scenarios like the one described above, which can conceivably add up.
