Ramkumar Aiyengar commented on SOLR-4586:
-----------------------------------------
Since it's been mentioned somewhere above in this issue that maxBooleanClauses
mainly serves the purpose of not tripping users from creating bad queries,
wanted to point out that we recently enountered a case where it was impossible
to control this setting.
ComplexPhraseQuery rewrites queries like "foo* bar*" to BQs (because it needs
visibility into the structure of the query), and there's no way to properly set
maxClauses without actually knowing term distribution (to make things worse,
per shard in a distributed setup, such a query could fail in some shards and
succeed in others).
> Increase default maxBooleanClauses

> In the #solr IRC channel, I mentioned the maxBooleanClauses limitation to
> someone asking a question about queries. Mark Miller told me that
> maxBooleanClauses no longer applies, that the limitation was removed from
> Lucene sometime in the 3.x series. The config still shows up in the example
> even in the just-released 4.2.
> Checking through the source code, I found that the config option is parsed
> and the value stored in objects, but does not actually seem to be used by
> anything. I removed every trace of it that I could find, and all tests still
> pass.
