Uwe Schindler commented on LUCENE-7966:
---------------------------------------
bq. I had a closer look at the branch and like the patching approach. Should we
modify the smoke tester at the same time to enforce that both Java 8 and 9 are
tested?
I think so - that was my plan! In general the testing is automatically done. As
soon as you start Lucene Demo or Solr with Java 9 it will test the JAR file.
But a separate test might be good (like the Exception test I posted before), to
see if stack trace looks as expected.
I will work soon on changing the patching mechanism to be globally (not only in
root module). I would also like to remove the {{@Deprecated}} from the Future
classes (because at this time, they are the only way) and instead add
{{@lucene.internal}}. We should add a separate issue about renoving Future
classes, once we swicth to Java 9.
Are there any other tests we should do. I talked with Robert - we both don't
understand Mike's findings. I don't trust them unless we have a reproducible
benchmark using BytesRefHash and similar. The improvements in LZ4 are
phantastic, I would have expected the same from BytesRefHash.
> build mr-jar and use some java 9 methods if available

> It would be nice to use some of the newer array methods and range checking
> methods in java 9 for example, without waiting for lucene 10 or something. If
> we build an MR-jar, we can start migrating our code to use java 9 methods
> right now, it will use optimized methods from java 9 when thats available,
> otherwise fall back to java 8 code.
> This patch adds:
> {code}
> Objects.checkIndex(int,int)
> Objects.checkFromToIndex(int,int,int)
> Objects.checkFromIndexSize(int,int,int)
> Arrays.mismatch(byte[],int,int,byte[],int,int)
> Arrays.compareUnsigned(byte[],int,int,byte[],int,int)
> Arrays.equal(byte[],int,int,byte[],int,int)
> // did not add char/int/long/short/etc but of course its possible if needed
> {code}
> It sets these up in {{org.apache.lucene.future}} as 1-1 mappings to java
> methods. This way, we can simply directly replace call sites with java 9
> methods when java 9 is a minimum. Simple 1-1 mappings mean also that we only
> have to worry about testing that our java 8 fallback methods work.
> I found that many of the current byte array methods today are willy-nilly and
> very lenient for example, passing invalid offsets at times and relying on
> compare methods not throwing exceptions, etc. I fixed all the instances in
> core/codecs but have not looked at the problems with AnalyzingSuggester. Also
> SimpleText still uses a silly method in ArrayUtil in similar crazy way, have
> not removed that one yet.
