The SolrConfig patch changed the interface for creating a token
filter factory:
@Deprecated
public void init(Map<String,String> args) {
log.warning("calling the deprecated form of init; should be
calling init(SolrConfig solrConfig, Map<String,String> args)");
this.args=args;
}
The analyzer creation chain now calls public void init(SolrConfig
solrConfig, Map<String,String> args) instead.
This is very bad from a backward compatibility point of view. For
most extensions, their analyzers will just stop working in mysterious
ways (since they will not get the correct parameters). The above log
WARNING will not be generated, because that method is not called by
Solr. The only hint that something is amiss is
[javac] Note: XXFilterFactor.java uses or overrides a deprecated
API.
which should not be an indication that the code in question will not
function correctly. Also, there isn't a peep of warning in CHANGES.txt
The problem seems to stem from leaving in the old method. Since we
are breaking backward compatibility, it would be better to break hard
and prevent Solr from compiling, or to actually provide backward
compatiblity.
