Mayya, I created backport for Adrien's issue here, to try to help out: https://github.com/apache/lucene-solr/pull/2495
Personally, I felt that merging non-trivial changes from main branch to 8.x has some additional risks when cherry-picking: * structural changes in main branch making merging more difficult (e.g. LUCENE-9705 reorganization of codec versioning, great change moving forwards though) * there are many style changes due to spotless in main branch which add noise to merging against old code. * In the specific case of LUCENE-9827, the usual additional tricky backwards compatibility for 8.x must be added in the backport (due to minor version bumps there) which can go wrong. I still think that particular change is worth considering for 8.9, it isn't just a performance bug but also a huge improvement to test coverage that helps combat risks. But we should still take some precautions when releasing an 8.x IMO: * be mindful of what we are backporting and the risks involved: it is harder. * try to let jenkins bake changes in 8.x branches for longer than usual? even a few days really helps.
