             Summary: Speed up point ranges that match most documents
                 Key: LUCENE-7641
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-7641
             Project: Lucene - Core
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Adrien Grand
            Assignee: Adrien Grand
            Priority: Minor


If a point range matches most documents and  every document has exactly one value, then we could make things faster by computing the set of documents that do NOT match the range instead.

It was not possible until recently since figuring out whether a range query matches most documents was not possible, but we can now use the new {{ScorerSupplier.cost}} API to do that: we could just check whether the cost of the inverse visitor is lower than the cost of the regular range visitor.
