This is very similar to a date range. Try searching for this on the web: 
 
yyyy yyyymm yyyymmdd lucene 
 
The results are getting dense in this way, and for performance 
you might consider caching (intermediate) results in (BitSet) filters. 
Lucene itself is meant for smaller numbers of results. 
 
100M docs means about 12Mbyte per BitSet filter. When your filters  
contain fewer docs than 12M and you need many filters you might 
consider the sparse filters of bug 32921 . However, these filters 
require skipTo on all their filtered scorers, meaning that they require 
the development version of BooleanQuery at the moment. 
 
Regards, 
Paul Elschot 
 
P.S. Perhaps someone is interested in writing a story about 
Lucene and the ordered document skippers. It's getting a bit involved.
