Hoss Man commented on SOLR-952:
-------------------------------
bq. HighlightingUtils has been deprecated for at least one release; can't we
just rip it out?
it depends on how strict we want to be about backwards compatibility -- which
has never been extremely well defined for Solr. following hte Lucene-Java
model, we should be back compatible with java class compatibility until 2.0 ...
but since Solr tends to focus more on the HTTP API, i'm certainly fine with
saying we aim for HTTP/REST back-compat between major versions, and have a more
relaxed view on the class compatibility for plugin developers ... but if we
really want to get into this is a much broader discussion.
for the purposes of this issue does anyone see any reason *not* to commit the
patch?

> Project: Solr
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: highlighter
> Affects Versions: 1.4
> Reporter: Chris Harris
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 1.4
>
> Attachments: SOLR-952.patch
>
>
> A large quantity of code is duplicated between the deprecated
> HighlightingUtils class and the newer SolrHighlighter and
> DefaultSolrHighlighter (which have been getting bug fixes and enhancements).
> The Utils class is no longer used anywhere in Solr, but people writing
> plugins may be taking advantage of it, so it should be cleaned up.
