Hey Todd,
Yeah, I hear you on the Lucene thing, but am not quite sure how to
handle it. As Hoss' has said, by us voting to release Solr, we are
also voting to release that particular version of Lucene. It means we
have confidence that it will do the job for Solr. If it's just a
source issue, we can package up the sources into the Maven repo. I'm
hesitant to suggest that we package the Lucene source into the main
distribution. Maybe we just point people to the repo? Can you open a
JIRA issue against 1.4 to track this so that we don't forget to do it?
Thanks,
Grant

One of the things about the 1.3 release that I didn't care for, was
the
inclusion of a non-release version of Lucene. It was very difficult to
track down the source code for the "dev" version that was used. Once
Lucene had release its official version, I upgraded to that (which
went
well) so that I had access to Lucene source.
If Lucene is going to release relatively soon, a release after that
might be nice.
For what it's worth, I understand the difficulty of having 2 projects
running in parallel with the dependency between them. While trying to
improve both at the same time. I'm not trying to throw stones, just
sharing an opinion.

sounds good.
is lucene planning a release anytime soon? If so, is it worth
*trying* to coordinate?

I'd like to suggest we start thinking about 1.4 being released in
early January. Here's my reasoning:
1. I think we all agree that 1.2 -> 1.3 was way too long
2. Quarterly releases seem to be a pretty nice timeframe for people
such that you aren't constantly upgrading, yet you don't have to
wait for eternity for new features
3. And here's where the rubber meets the road: We've actually put
in some significant features and bug fixes, namely Java-based
Replication, Tika Integration, new more scalable faceting
implementation and on and on, not to mention Lucene improvements and
other bug fixes. Read about it at
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/lucene/solr/trunk/CHANGES.txt
Here's what's currently targeted to 1.4:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?reset=true&mod
e=hide&sorter/order=DESC&sorter/
field=priority&resolution=-1&pid=1231023
0&fixfor=12313351
Since I so enjoyed doing the release last time, I volunteer to do it
again this time.
Thoughts?
