Ok at last I tried the easy way so, when I find a particular predefined
"undefined-value" in a filter or facet, I convert the query to parse to:
"type:ad AND -" +field+":[* TO *]"
"type:ad" matches all my documents, the other type I have is "facets"
(many thanks for the unbound range trick).
I cannot see any particular slowliness (but I'm testing with 50.000 docs
now) perhaps thanks to Solr ConstantScoreRangeQueries conversion,
should I worry with bigger numbers, say 300.000 docs ?
My two cents on Solr development: surely "DocSet.andNot(DocSet other)"
capability would be precious to optimize the undefined-field and other
inverse-query problems.
Thanks again
Fabio
