Hey Hoss, +1. I think we need to overhaul the whole API, even in light of the incremental progress I've been proposing and patching, etc., lately.
I think it's good to do that incrementally, though, rather than all at once, especially considering SOLR is in 1.5-dev trunk stage atm.

Please open a jira issue. it really wasn't, and it probably shouldn't be ... there is another thread currently in progress (in response to SOLR-1592) about this. Given how kludgy the entire API is, i'd really prefer it not be made un-final .. it would need some serious overhaul/review to make it possible to subclass in a sensical way, and coming up with a new API is likely to make a lot more sense then trying to retrofit that one. -Hoss ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Chris Mattmann, Ph.D. Senior Computer Scientist NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory Pasadena, CA 91109 USA Office: 171-266B, Mailstop: 171-246 Email: chris.mattm...@jpl.nasa.gov WWW: http://sunset.usc.edu/~mattmann/ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Adjunct Assistant Professor, Computer Science Department University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA 90089 USA ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
