Hi,
I am fine with the start of release process, but I would like to add one thing: I know that Elasticsearch wants to be compatible with recent Java 9 for the continuous delievery process. The new Lucene release is compatible with that (mmap unmapping works), but you cannot build the release with Java 9 148+. Currently the release vote of Groovy 2.4.8 is ongoing and should finish the next few days. So I’d suggest to delay a bit, so I can update common-build.xml and raise the Groovy version: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-7596 This does not make Solr Tests work with Java 9, but that’s a different discussion (mocking frameworks broke with recent Java 9): https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-9893 I will fix this by disabling those tests with Java 9, but that a bit of work to set those assumeFalse(Constants.JAVA9….). I don’t see this as a blocker!
