Steven Rowe commented on LUCENE-4335: ------------------------------------- Generation of content that's static should be fine, but generation based on external content we don't control, e.g. rules matching TLDs generated for UAX29URLEmailTokenizer, shouldn't be a regular part of the build. > Builds should regenerate all generated sources > ---------------------------------------------- > > Key: LUCENE-4335 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-4335 > Project: Lucene - Core > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Michael McCandless > Attachments: LUCENE-4335.patch > > > We have more and more sources that are generated programmatically (query > parsers, fuzzy levN tables from Moman, packed ints specialized decoders, > etc.), and it's dangerous because developers may directly edit the generated > sources and forget to edit the meta-source. It's happened to me several > times ... most recently just after landing the BlockPostingsFormat branch. > I think we should re-gen all of these in our builds and fail the build if > this creates a difference. I know some generators (eg JavaCC) embed > timestamps and so always create mods ... we can leave them out of this for > starters (or maybe post-process the sources to remove the timestamps) ... -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
