Adrien Grand commented on LUCENE-10207:
---------------------------------------
I have vague memories of playing with the MultiTermQuery approach in the past
and it wasn't an obvious win due to the fact that seekExact could return false
by just looking at the terms index while the MultiTermQuery approach would
always advance to the next term after the target, which would in-turn always
decode a frame of the terms dictionary. (It's been a very long time though, so
I might remember wrong, or maybe other changes have been made since then so
that this is no longer a problem.)

> IndexOrDocValuesQuery is very useful to pick the right execution mode for a
> query depending on other bits of the query tree.
> We would like to be able to use it to optimize execution of TermInSetQuery.
> However IndexOrDocValuesQuery only works well if the "index" query can give
> an estimation of the cost of the query without doing anything expensive (like
> looking up all terms of the TermInSetQuery in the terms dict). Maybe we could
> implement it for primary keys (terms.size() == sumDocFreq) by returning the
> number of terms of the query? Another idea is to multiply the number of terms
> by the average postings length, though this could be dangerous if the field
> has a zipfian distribution and some terms have a much higher doc frequency
> than the average.
> [~romseygeek] and I were discussing this a few weeks ago, and more recently
> [~mikemccand] and [~gsmiller] again independently. So it looks like there is
> interest in this. Here is an email thread where this was recently discussed:
