Shai Erera closed LUCENE-2628.
------------------------------

    Resolution: Not A Problem

Closing the issue. This clearly isn't a Lucene issue. Like many people said, Stu can take OBS into commons and Lucene can decide later if it wants to adopt the commons version or not. The discussion on independent .jars or not can continue on the mailing list - I assume more people will read it there than when it's inside that issue (and also it's irrelevant to the issue itself).

> o.a.l.util.OpenBitSet is a great alternative to java.util.BitSet, and it is generally useful outside of the search field. It would be great if OpenBitSet were available outside of Lucene proper, perhaps as part of Apache Commons.
> Aside from the communication required to accomplish this, there is the small issue of OpenBitSet extending o.a.l.search.DocIdSet in Lucene 3.0. There is very little logic contained in DocIdSet, so it could probably become an interface: Lucene proper could then extend the extract version of OpenBitSet to implement DocIdSet.
