Heh. I think looks can be deceiving sometimes. I'm not sure I'm willing to hold
the responsibility of those commits right now. If someone else is, that's great
... but I don't find them minimal enough for my taste I suppose ;) Depends on
what areas you feel comfortable with I guess.
Right, this is why some features with functional patches are sitting
targeted at 3.2 instead of 3.1. Is it possible that we could put
distributed date faceting (SOLR-1709), better cjk handling out of box
(LUCENE-2906), and a better default merge policy (LUCENE-854) all in
3.1 right now? sure it is.
But is this the best decision... I don't think it is.
Nor do I. I'm fine with the freeze.
I think as far
as 3.1 goes we already have a great set of features that have baked
for some time, including some rather serious performance improvements
(Mike and I have done some benchmarking against 3.0)... and its
already going to be a more challenging release since its the first one
since we merged lucene and solr.
For these newer features, its not that we are lazy...
I did not mean to suggest that anyone is lazy. Far from it, the effort
that goes into this project is impressive.
its that
sometimes you want more tests, want things to "bake" for a while with
hudson's random testing, perhaps want some reviews/second pairs of
eyes on the code, or maybe even just some more time to think about the
change before committing to it.
I have a personal interest in LUCENE-2906. If there is anything I can do
to help it along, I'll be glad to do that. I'll take it up on that issue.
When we commit it and release it, we are signing up for some degree of
support in the future. Also, personally I think its better to put out
a good release with solid code and a few less features, than a more
buggy release that has a couple of extra features.
As I said, I'm happy with 3.1 being frozen. This release is much more
timely. :) In the past, I saw releases being repeatedly pushed out to
get one last thing in. (Maybe it just appeared that way to me.)
