Description

Currently, the top level "filter" in the JSON Request API is implemented by copying those values back to "fq" parameters, since that is what other components currently check.

We should do a better job of isolating the creation of filters so other components don't have to know/care how they were created (i.e. what parameters were used, what syntax was used, etc).

After that, it will be much easier to support filter queries in JSON syntax:

{
 query : "myquery", 
 filter : [ {term : {field:myfield, val:myval}} , "another filter" ],
 limit : 10
}
