Just to toss in my two cents...
I'd have to agree with Hoss here. In terms of versioning, I see no
reason that a major version bump in a dependency should cause a
major version bump in Solr - unless said bump causes major changes.
It's got some pretty big changes.
I haven't really looked at what's planned for Lucene 3.x yet, but
if there are some major api breaking changes coming, then perhaps
the next couple 1.x revisions should be taken to start cleaning up
and preparing for a major version bump. So, I would agree that,
unless there's a really compelling reason to switch to Lucene 3.x,
it might be best let a little dust settle on 2.9.
I think we are going to want to support flexible indexing within a
pretty reasonable time frame after it is available. Also note,
there are some fairly big Solr changes in the pipeline at this point:
1. Spatial support, which will change/add some significant general
purpose capabilities to Solr.
2. Significant new distributed capabilities for both indexing and
searching
3. And of course a fair number of other things.
Ah yes, this is definitely some major stuff.
Agreed, though, on the fact that we should cleanup in prep for 2.x,
so we may want to shoot for a 1.9 first.
Sounds like a plan. :D
