I was once involved in modified a search index
implementation (not Lucene) to write posting lists so that
they can be traversed (only) in reverse order. Docids
were preserved but you got higher IDs first. This was
a non-trivial code change.
Now the suggestion to (optionally) order merged
segments

: that documents added to the index get incrementally higher docids, i.e. the

malicious or naive users DOSing a search instance. In some cases,
precision can be sacrificed, to see
