Hoss Man commented on SOLR-1677:
--------------------------------

bq. I guess I could care less what the default is, if you care about such 
things you shouldn't be using the defaults and instead specifying this yourself 
in the schema, and Version has no effect.

...which is all well and good, but it just re-iterates the need for really good 
documentation about what is impacted by changing a global Version setting -- 
otherwise users might be depending on a default behavior that is going to 
change when Version as bumped, and they may not even realize it.

Bear in mind: these are just the nuances that people need to worry about when 
considering a switch from 2.4 to 2.9 to 3.0 ... there will likely be a lot more 
of these over time.

And just to be as crystal clear as i possibly can:
* my concern is purely about how to document this stuff.
* i do in fact agree that a global luceneVersionMatch option is a good idea

> Since Lucene 2.9, a lot of analyzers use a Version constant to keep backwards 
> compatibility with old indexes created using older versions of Lucene. The 
> most important example is StandardTokenizer, which changed its behaviour with 
> posIncr and incorrect host token types in 2.4 and also in 2.9.
> In Lucene 3.0 this matchVersion ctor parameter is mandatory and in 3.1, with 
> much more Unicode support, almost every Tokenizer/TokenFilter needs this 
> Version parameter. In 2.9, the deprecated old ctors without Version take 
> LUCENE_24 as default to mimic the old behaviour, e.g. in StandardTokenizer.
> This patch adds basic support for the Lucene Version property to the base 
> factories. Subclasses then can use the luceneMatchVersion decoded enum (in 
> 3.0) / Parameter (in 2.9) for constructing Tokenstreams. The code currently 
> contains a helper map to decode the version strings, but in 3.0 is can be 
> replaced by Version.valueOf(String), as the Version is a subclass of Java5 
> enums. The default value is Version.LUCENE_24 (as this is the default for the 
> no-version ctors in Lucene).
> This patch also removes unneeded conversions to CharArraySet from 
> StopFilterFactory (now done by Lucene since 2.9). The generics are also fixed 
> to match Lucene 3.0.
