What is the difference between common terms query vs match query with cutoff_frequency set

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

I was reading up on the match query and noticed that it has a
cutoff_frequency parameter, which seems to do pretty much what the common
terms query does.

  1. What is the difference between the common and match queries?
  2. When would I want to use common terms over match?
  3. Ultimately, would the direction be to have common terms query roll up
    into the match query (with any differences added to match)?

They should produce the same exact query (CommonTermsQuery). The only thing
I can think of that is different is the CommonTerms query provides more
options other than just the cutoff_frequency (i.e. low_freq_operator,
high_freq_operator, etc) which are not available in the Match query. I do
not know of any plans to "merge/rollup" the two so for now, they remain
separate.
