Even if the answer is "yes", In what dimensions though? Blazing forefront of lucene/solr need not be blazing forefront of Java or of different operating systems, or switching to entirely different languages, etc. The minimum JVM requirement is an orthogonal decision. And I just met with some folks the other day that can't yet upgrade to Java 1.7. The practical considerations of what users can use (say we were to release 5.0 in a few months) and the development pain of further diverging trunk and 4x need to be weighed against the language/library features that a new JVM version bring. -Yonik http://heliosearch.org - native code faceting, facet functions, sub-facets, off-heap data --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@lucene.apache.org
