I think we should deprecate and remove Version constants as Lucene progresses?
Imagine there's a number of features in 4.x that get deprecated and un-defaulted in 5.x, then removed in 6.x Our user compiled with Version.4_0, it was cool in 4.x, then it still worked in 5.x, as we preserved index compatibility, then it silently broke in 5.x -> not good. If we deprecated Version.4_0 @ 5.x, he'd get a warning if he tried recompiling. Then if we removed Version.4_0 @ 6.x, his app won't start anymore, even without recompiling -> failfast. Going with this, we should deprecate 3x in trunk and delete 2x. In 3x branch, we should deprecate 2x. -- Kirill Zakharenko/Кирилл Захаренко (ear...@gmail.com) Phone: +7 (495) 683-567-4 ICQ: 104465785 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@lucene.apache.org
