             Summary: Minimum prefix-length soft limit
                 Key: SOLR-17195
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-17195
             Project: Solr
          Issue Type: Sub-task
      Security Level: Public (Default Security Level. Issues are Public)
          Components: query
            Reporter: Jason Gerlowski


Solr performs a prefix query by rewriting it as a (potentially) large boolean 
or terms query, with a clause for each term in the "term dictionary" that 
matches the prefix.  The shorter the prefix, the more expensive this can be and 
the more likely it is to cause performance problems for users.  

We should add a configurable soft-limit, of the type described in SOLR-17191, 
to prevent users from unknowingly providing very-short-prefixes.

(This may require coordination and buy-in from the Lucene project, depending on 
implementation details.)
