If the associated element is an entity, it's perfectly valid to index its id and
query by it
//return all books when the author's id is 2
"author.id:2"
No doubts on that being valid, but on the actual usefulness of this
being always enabled.
Hibernate Search doesn't strictly need it as it does with the class
and root-entity-id, and in other cases we have an "opt-in" approach
for fields.
I'd expect that users might not even know that they can write such a
query, as I found it surprising. I also suspect that for most people
it's just a pointless waste of resources so I think it should be an
option.
Even if we decide to keep it, I'd propose to disable norms on this field(s).
Cheers,
