I would love to set goals that are ~3 months out so that we don't have
another 1 year release cycle. For a 2.0 release where we could have
more back-compatibly flexibility, i would love to see some work that
may be too ambitious... In particular, the config spaghetti needs
some attention.
I don't see the need to increment solr to 2.0 for the lucene 3.0
change -- of course that needs to be noted, but incrementing the major
number in solr only makes sense if we are going to change *solr*
significantly.
The lucene 2.x -> 3.0 upgrade path seems independent of that to me. I
would even argue that with solr 1.4 we have already required many
lucene 3.0 changes -- All my custom lucene stuff had to be reworked to
work with solr 1.4 (tokenizers & multi-reader filters).
In general, I wonder where the solr back-compatibility contract
applies (and to what degree). For solr, I would rank the importance as:
#1 - the URL API syntax. Client query parameters should change as
little as possible
#2 - configuration
#3 - java APIs
With that in mind, i think 'solr 1.5 with lucene 3.x' makes the most
sense. Unless we see making serious changes to solr that would
warrent a major release bump.
Lucene has an explict back-compatibility contract:

I don't know if solr has one... if we make one, I would like it to
focus on the URL syntax+configuration

What should the next version of Solr be?
Options:
- have a Solr 1.5 with a lucene 2.9.x
- have a Solr 1.5 with a lucene 3.x, with weaker back compat given all
of the removed lucene deprecations from 2.9->3.0
- have a Solr 2.0 with a lucene 3.x
