You mean the Lucene query language - http://lucene.apache.org/core/old_versioned_docs/versions/3_4_0/querypars... ;-) In the end it comes down to that. Maybe, if that has everything needed, why not? Or is a goal to hide the fact that Lucene is used underneath? What would the purpose of a new query language be? I guess it would be more object centric, but is this relevant for a user? What's the purpose of the JSON notation? I think for a user its nicer to express a query in a dedicated query language instead of a general-purpose object serialization format. As it is nicer for a human to express queries in say HQL or SQL instead of describing e.g. a "HQL object" in JSON or XML. If this is going to be used by application code, it probably doesn't make a big difference. I guess I just don't yet really understand what's the use case behind.
