As a new user of Lucene I wonder if anyone can suggest how to do this query
the fastest way:
In the index I got a "content" field with the data, and a "pathID" field
containing an ID ranging from 0 up to possible millions.
In some cases I want to return the documents containing (for example) the
term "xml" for all documents, in other cases the ones with specific pathIDs.
My question is: What is the fastest way to retrieve documents containing (as
an example) the term "xml" with pathID between 0 and 100000 (with holes in
the range)?
As I know of, I could either:
1. do a query: pathID:(1 2 3 5 6 ..) AND content:xml
2. do a rangequery: pathID:({0 4} {4 7}) AND content:xml
3. do the query: content:xml and in a loop filter out unwanted
documents by checking the pathID
Is there any other way, and what would be the best approach?
