-------------------------------------

Could we use the already existing issue for this (OAK-828)?

> Jackrabbit 2.x supports index aggregates as documented here:
> http://wiki.apache.org/jackrabbit/IndexingConfiguration#Index_Aggregates
> Jackrabbit Oak should support this feature as well.
> There are multiple way to implement it:
> * Aggregate the data when indexing. This is what Jackrabbit 2.x does. The disadvantage is that if filtering is needed (see also JCR-3611), then this needs to be done at indexing time; and filtering at query time might be hard to achieve.
> * Aggregate the data when querying. In this case, filtering can be implemented at query execution time.
> Alex, Marcel and me yesterday briefly discussed the options and came to the conclusion that we try use the second approach for Oak, that is, aggregate the data when querying. One way to achieve that is by adding a new FulltextQueryIndex which does the filtering and aggregation. This index internally uses a FulltextQueryIndex similar to how the NodeTypeIndex uses a PropertyIndex. This "aggregating full-text index" can then be used for any kind of full-text index (Lucene, Solr,...). 
> To allow more flexibility in aggregate filtering, we will extend the Filter interface to allow reading from the repository (using the Tree interface).
