I actually don't agree on that, if a nice stand alone jar comes out of what we
do here we should not hesitate to make it usable without the core but that
might be a super rare case and might even have never happened before here but
generally being against such a thing doesn't seem to be community or cross
project friendly to me.

I'm sorry, I strongly disagree. I dont think we should publish artifacts such
as "utility jars" that are not directly related to search.
Furthermore, I do think more things should be marked lucene.internal. In any
other good size software project, there is a mechanism beyond java
'public/protected/private' keywords so that
# the code can be shared across packages for internal use
# the code is still not 'exposed' and supported as a public API.
In the JDK, this stuff might be under the package sun.*, in other projects, i
have seen ".impl" packages.
The only mechanism we have to keep things reasonable from a support
(back-compat, etc) standpoint is to mark things lucene.internal, and we should
use it, or we prevent changes/progress by creating an unreasonable support
burden.
> Extract OpenBitSet to Apache Commons

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-2628
> Project: Lucene - Java
> Issue Type: Wish
> Reporter: Stu Hood
>
> o.a.l.util.OpenBitSet is a great alternative to java.util.BitSet, and it is
> generally useful outside of the search field. It would be great if OpenBitSet
> were available outside of Lucene proper, perhaps as part of Apache Commons.
> Aside from the communication required to accomplish this, there is the small
> issue of OpenBitSet extending o.a.l.search.DocIdSet in Lucene 3.0. There is
> very little logic contained in DocIdSet, so it could probably become an
> interface: Lucene proper could then extend the extract version of OpenBitSet
> to implement DocIdSet.
