David Smiley commented on LUCENE-7815:
--------------------------------------
It would be nice to; yes. I thought I may have missed the 6.6 release for
doing that (but I didn't consider it essential). I'll commit a simple
deprecation to PostingsHighlighter.java in some hours from now; okay? Do you
think it deserves a separate issue?
> Remove PostingsHighlighter in 7.0

> Project: Lucene - Core
> Issue Type: Task

> The UnifiedHighlighter is derived from the PostingsHighlighter, which should
> be quite obvious to anyone who cares to look at them. There is no feature in
> the PH that is not also present in the UH. The PH is marked as
> {{lucene.experimental}} so we may remove it in 7.0. The upgrade path is
> pretty easy given the API similarity. By removing the PH, the goal is to
> ease maintenance. Some issues lately have been applicable to both of these
> highlighters which is annoying to apply twice. In one case I forgot to. And
> of course there is user confusion by having both.
> What I propose to do in this issue is move {{CustomSeparatorBreakIterator}}
> and {{WholeBreakIterator}} out of the {{postingshighlight}} package into the
> {{uhighlight}} package (or perhaps add a {{common}} or {{util}} should future
> highlighters need them?). Then of course remove {{postingshighlight}}
> package.
