> Heuristics of IndexOrDocValuesQuery are somewhat inconsistent for range queries . The leadCost that is provided is based on number of documents, meanwhile the cost() of a range query is based on the number of points that potentially match the query. 
> Therefore it might happen that a BKD tree has millions of points but this points correspond to just a few documents. Therefore we can take the decision of executing the query using docValues and in fact we are almost scanning all the points.
> Maybe the cost() function for range queries need to take into account the average number of points per document in the tree and adjust the value accordingly.
