Martijn van Groningen commented on LUCENE-7617:
-----------------------------------------------

+1 Thanks for cleaning this up!

I found a few places still using GROUP_VALUE_TYPE, in 
SecondPassGroupingCollector.SearchGroupDocs, GroupDocs, TopGroups, 
AllGroupHeadsCollector.GroupHead and Grouping.Command (in Solr).

bq. Given that everything here is marked as experimental, I think we're OK to 
just backwards-break?

Yes, that is OK.

> While looking at how to make grouping work with the new XValuesSource API in 
> core, I thought I'd try and clean up GroupingSearch a bit.  We have three 
> different ways of grouping at the moment: by doc block, using a single-pass 
> collector; by field; and by ValueSource.  The latter two both use essentially 
> the same two-pass mechanism, with different Collector implementations.
> I can see a number of possible improvements here:
> * abstract the two-pass collector creation into a factory API, which should 
> allow us to add the XValuesSource implementations as well
> * clean up the generics on the two-pass collectors - maybe look into removing 
> them entirely?  I'm not sure they add anything really, and we don't have them 
> on the equivalent plan search APIs
> * think about moving the document block method into the join module instead, 
> alongside all the other block-indexing code
> * rename the various Collector base classes so that they don't have 
> 'Abstract' in them anymore
