In general, I like the idea of making block joins more of a first-class citizen. I have been thinking for a long time about changing how blocks are identified from using bitsets to using a doc-value field where only parents documents have a value for the field, and the value must be the number of child documents that the parent has. This PR would like to identify blocks with a doc-values field as well, which is interesting. This makes me wonder if Lucene could be adding this doc value field for root documents automatically, similarly to what it is doing for soft deletes?
