--------------------------------------
> I'm not sure why you and Doug and focusing on performance when that is not
> really the main issue I brought up.
In the description of this issue you claim, "This will make Serialization
faster". I only added that, if this is a motivation, then it should be
benchmarked and quantified. If it's not a motivation, and cross-version
compatibility is the only motivation, then that should be clarified.
> dynamic classloading is being ignored by you folks
Perhaps most Lucene developers are not using dynamic class loading, just as
most Lucene developers seem not to be relying on java serialization. Perhaps
you can convince them to start using it, but if not, you may need to find a way
to get Lucene to support it that minimally impacts other users of Lucene.
Adding methods to Term and Query that must be changed whenever these classes
change adds a cost. If folks don't see much benefit, then that cost outweighs.
Perhaps you can better enlighten us to the benefits rather than assert willful
ignorance? Jini promised great things with dynamic class loading, but the list
of folks that use Jini is not long (http://www.jini.org/wiki/Who_uses_Jini%3F).
