While reading "Lucene in Action 2nd edition" I came across the description of Filter classes which are could be used for result filtering in Lucene. Lucene has a lot of filters repeating Query classes. For example, NumericRangeQuery and NumericRangeFilter.
The book says that NRF does exactly the same as NRQ but without document scoring. Does this means that if I do not need scoring or sort documents by document field value I should preferFiltering over Querying from performance point of view? --- Denis Bazhenov <dot...@gmail.com>
