Adrien Grand commented on LUCENE-6871:
--------------------------------------
I like the idea to reconcile regular queries and span queries, but on the other
hand I'm slightly concerned that we could be bitten in the long term by some
inconsistencies. For instance boosts on span queries only make sense on the
top-level query (if I'm not mistaken). So if we start merging queries, we need
to make sure that eg. Query.rewrite would not break scores. For instance it
would be tempting to rewrite a SpanNearQuery to the underlying query if there
is a single wrapped query. But if this underlying query has a boost that is
different from 1f, this will produce different scores than the original
SpanNearQuery would have produced. This is one issue I can think of but maybe
there are more?

> Project: Lucene - Core

>
> SpanQueries are now essentially the same as a standard query, restricted to a
> single field and with an extra scorer type returned by getSpans(). There are
> a number of existing queries that fit this contract, including TermQuery and
> PhraseQuery, and it should be possible to make them SpanQueries as well
> without impacting their existing performance. However, we can't do this
> while SpanQuery and its associated Weight and Spans classes are in their own
> package.
> I'd like to remove the o.a.l.search.spans package entirely, in a few stages:
> 1) Move SpanQuery, SpanWeight, Spans, SpanCollector and FilterSpans to
> o.a.l.search
> 2) Remove SpanTermQuery and merge its functionality into TermQuery
> 3) Move SpanNear, SpanNot, SpanOr and SpanMultiTermQueryWrapper to
> o.a.l.search
> 4) Move the remaining SpanQueries to the queries package
> Then we can look at, eg, making PhraseQuery a SpanQuery, removing
> SpanMTQWrapper and making MultiTermQuery a SpanQuery, etc.
