[jira] [Commented] (SOLR-13173) Remove RAMDirectoryFactory after RAMDirectory removal?

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-13173?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17419808#comment-17419808 ] 

Cassandra Targett commented on SOLR-13173:
------------------------------------------

Solr still has not formally deprecated RAMDirectory (that I can tell) although Dawid's change from LUCENE-8474 does delegate it to ByteBuffersDirectoryFactory (see {{RAMDirectoryFactory.java}}). It's referenced in dozens of test configs, but also included in the Solr Ref Guide as an option for DirectoryFactory (https://solr.apache.org/guide/8_10/datadir-and-directoryfactory-in-solrconfig.html).

As we're getting closer to 9.0, I thought we should revive this to see if there's anything else we want to do here before then?

> This is a spinoff from LUCENE-8474. RAMDirectory is now officially gone from Lucene, replaced by a different memory-backed (byte buffers) implementation. Should we rename RAMDirectoryFactory in Solr or just change the implementation, leaving the name as is and looking at it as an implementation detail?
> RAMDirectoryFactory is used in a lot of places, so it a compatibility-breaking change (that doesn't add any value). I'm keen on leaving it as is, but looking for feedback from those more familiar with Solr deployments.
