Robert Muir commented on LUCENE-3977:
-------------------------------------
OK this issue is way worse than i thought originally, in the binary release,
we actually have 3x duplication for each module, lets take 'grouping as an
example'
# the grouping javadocs in docs/api/all
# the grouping javadocs in docs/api/grouping
# the lucene-grouping-javadocs.jar
This seems totally unnecessary and overkill to me. I dont think we need to
include
the lucene-grouping-javadocs.jar in the binary packaging, since we already
provide
it unzipped: it only needs to be in the maven artifacts. Providing it both
unzipped
and zipped bloats the release.
As far as the javadocs-all stuff... I'm working on a patch :)

> Project: Lucene - Java
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: general/javadocs
> Reporter: Robert Muir
> Priority: Blocker
> Fix For: 4.0
>
>
> Some stats for the generated javadocs of 3.6:
> * 9,146 files
> * 161,872 KB uncompressed
> * 25MB compressed (this is responsible for nearly half of our binary release)
> The fact we intentionally double our javadocs size with the 'javadocs-all'
> thing
> is truly wasteful and compression doesn't help at all. Just testing, i nuked
> 'all'
> and found:
> * 4,944 files
> * 81,084 KB uncompressed
> * 12.8MB compressed
> We need to clean this up for 4.0. We only need to ship javadocs 'one way'.
