[jira] [Comment Edited] (LUCENE-6754) Optimize IndexSearcher.count
for simple queries
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-6754?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14727290#comment-14727290 ]

Hi, thanks for committing this. I am just not really happy about the instanceof checks. It also makes it impossible for custom queries to maybe improve this. How about adding a method to the query class that can be "optionally" implemented to return a count? By default it may throw exception or alternative use the collector approach. Queries like term query may implement this count methods, if they have some optimized way to do this.
An alternative would be to let the Weight have the new method. TermWeight would have its statistics already and could implement TermWeight#count() easily. if there are deletions, weight would call super.count().
Queries like ConstantScoreQuery could delegate to the inner queries.
