Sort-of... I think that's up for discussion at this point, but enough should change that keeping Java APIs back compatible is not a priority (just my opinion of course). Supporting the current main search and update interfaces and migrating most of the handlers shouldn't be that difficult. We should be able to provide relatively painless back compatibility for the 95% of Solr users that don't do any custom Java.... and the others hopefully won't mind migrating their stuff to get the cool new features :-) As far as SolrCore goes... I agree it's probably best to not do pluggability at that level. The way that Lucene has evolved, and may evolve (and how we want Solr to evolve), it seems like we want more of a combo IndexReader/IndexWriter interface. It also needs (optional) optimistic concurrency... that was also assumed in the discussions about bailey. -Yonik
