paul.elschot updated LUCENE-328:
--------------------------------

    Attachment: SkipFilter1.patch

This patches Filter.java and IndexSearcher.java .

Filter.java is modified to implement SkipFilter, to provide
a first step in a backward compatible way to slowly make Filter
independent of BitSet.
IndexSearcher.java is modified to test for a DocNrSkipper from
a given Filter, and to use that. In that case also skipTo() is used
on the scorer of the query being filtered.
This patch requires org.apache.lucene.util.DocNrSkipper, which
available at this issue.
Also required is org.apache.lucene.search.SkipFilter, which
is available at LUCENE-330.

The patch also contains some commented test code for Filter.java.
This test code always provides a DocNrSkipper (from the BitSet).
With and without this test code, all tests pass here.

When extending Filter in this way, SkipFilter may not be necessary
at all. I left it in to allow a path forward to complete independence 
from BitSet.
In case SkipFilter stays, it would be good to add (a) new method(s)
to IndexSearcher allowing a SkipFilter to filter a query.

The DocNrSkipper interface contains only one method:
nextDocNr(int docNr).
It may be good for performance to also add a nextDocNr()
method without any argument, much like skipTo(target) and next()
on Scorer. IOW, I do not consider DocNrSkipper stable at this moment.

I don't think this patch should be added to release 2.0.
