[jira] [Commented] (LUCENE-8766) Add Luwak as a lucene module

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-8766?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16818796#comment-16818796 ] 

Alan Woodward commented on LUCENE-8766:
---------------------------------------

I've spent a bit of time cleaning up the API and reducing its surface area - there's still some work to be done to get it passing precommit, and I need to write package javadocs, but it's close.  The important remaining questions for me are:
1) Acknowledging contributors: the original commit history is going to be lost here, including the names of various people who have done significant work on the project.  I'm not sure if there's a general Apache policy here that can be applied, but I was planning on adding a 'contributors' file with everyone's name in it that is marked as valid up the point that the code is merged to master.
2) The name: it's called luwak because of project naming conventions at Flax, but it's not obvious what it means - perhaps something more descriptive, like 'monitor' or 'stored-queries'?

> Luwak [https://github.com/flaxsearch/luwak] is a stored query engine, allowing users to efficiently match a stream of documents against a large set of queries.  It's only dependency is lucene, and most recent updates have just been upgrading the version of lucene against which it can run.
> It's a generally useful piece of software, and already licensed as Apache 2.  The maintainers would like to donate it to the ASF, and merge it in to the lucene-solr project.
