LUCENE-4810 in Solr 4.3?

[Walter Underwood <wu...@wunderwood.org>]

I se that this is scheduled for 4.3, but I guess that is Lucene 4.3, right?

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-4810

I don't see a way to get from the Solr change notes to a list of Lucene fixes.

Maybe Lucene should be listed under "Versions of Major Components"?

It's in 4.3 ... it's marked w/ Fix version 4.3 ... and when Steve
committed the fix, he backported to the 4.3 rel branch.

This is an area that could use some improvement.

The interdependence between a given Solr version and the exact same
Lucene version has been implicit since 3.1.0, the first version released
after the Solr project was pulled into the Lucene source code.  When a
fact is part of your basic understanding of the world, you don't think
to mention it to anyone.

There are a few LUCENE-* issues that are mentioned in the Solr
CHANGES.txt, but for the most part it is SOLR-* issues.

Both CHANGES.txt files are in the source code download, but the
solr-x.y.z.{zip,tgz} files do not contain the CHANGES.txt from Lucene.

Even if the Lucene CHANGES.txt file were included in the Solr binary
artifact download, it wouldn't really solve the problem.  If you read
the Lucene CHANGES.txt, it is not obvious which issues apply to Solr and
which don't.  An example: It's my understanding that the Lucene facet
code is completely separate from the Solr facet code.

On the other hand, there are major Lucene changes that do affect Solr
that aren't mentioned in Solr's file at all.  Examples: Stored field
compression in 4.1 and termvector compression in 4.2.

I think these major Lucene changes were mentioned in the Solr release
notes, but someone who is downloading Solr may not even know that the
release notes exist.  I didn't see them in a quick glance through the
download.  I also didn't see any links to release notes when I went to
the main Solr page and looked around at what a newbie would see when
looking for the download.

Thanks,
Shawn
