I think since we have already made some file format changes, we should consider some of the others on the table, namely https:// issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-510 which concerns proper UTF-8 storage. The big issue with this one seems to be performance (and the patch needs to be updated) but it, as Marvin has stated, is what would allow us to do the Kino merge model, if desired, and would provide better compatibility w/ our sibling projects (an important consideration, but should not be the driver.)

It has 3 votes currently which isn't the most, but is 3 more than most issues have.

Also, I'm curious as to how many people use NFS in live systems.

I hope to get explicit commits (LUCENE-710) working, which has a tiny
file format change, and LUCENE-773 (deprecate FSDirectory.getDirectory
methods that take a create arg) completed soon, so we can get them
into 2.1, if possible.

Given the healthy discussion and ongoing design iterations for
"explicit commits", I no longer think we should hold back 2.1 for
this.

Correct NFS behaviour (LUCENE-710) will have to wait for at least one
more release.

I will work through LUCENE-773 next.

Are there any other open JIRA issues that we feel should block 2.1?
Last time (2.0 release) Doug suggested voting in JIRA which makes
sense:

   http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/lucene/java-dev/34810

So if anyone sees open issues in JIRA that they feel should fixed
before we release 2.1, please go vote for them in JIRA, and then we
should mark such bugs with 2.1 Fix Version and fix them!

Also +1 on more frequent releases after 2.1!
