That makes sense to me. Maybe it shouldn't be a contrib henceforth? In other words, maybe it should be a 3rd-party package? Then our users could get updates to this contrib independently of the Lucene/Solr release cycle. It's one of the benefits of breaking up the Solr monolith. In a separate thread in this dev list, pertaining to the DIH, Gézapeti Cseh suggested that Solr might introduce something similar to "Apache Commons", but for Solr contribs. I think that's worth more investigation. It's obviously highly relevant to this thread. ~ David Smiley Apache Lucene/Solr Search Developer http://www.linkedin.com/in/davidwsmiley On Fri, Oct 30, 2020 at 10:52 AM Dawid Weiss <dawid.we...@gmail.com> wrote: > Yeah, right.
