Description

It would be nice to allow to add a custom child collector to the BlockJoinQuery to be called on every matching doc (so we can do things with it, like counts and such). Also, allow to extend BlockJoinQuery to have a custom code that converts the filter bitset to an OpenBitSet.

Research direction

Start by locating BlockJoinQuery and read its current child-collector and filter-bitset handling. Review the attached LUCENE-3282.patch for the historical approach, then determine the API changes needed so both behaviors can be customized and verify the requested use cases with appropriate tests.
