[jira] [Commented] (LUCENE-5858) Move back compat codecs out of
core/ into codecs/ jar
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-5858?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14079559#comment-14079559 ]
Hoss Man commented on LUCENE-5858:
----------------------------------
IIUC: This means that, moving forward, users who want to upgrade, and have indexes built with older versions of Lucene, will need to include the codecs.jar as well as the core.jar in their applications as well ... correct?
Since a big part of the reason the codecs modules already exists was so apps that didn't want/need those optional codecs wouldn't have to load them, would it make more sense to create a new backcompat-codecs module/jar instead of lumping them all in codecs.jar?

> These take significant space and bloat core lucene. Not everyone needs the ability to read ancient indexes (especially building a new app).
> We should move this cruft out of the core/ jar. codecs/ is the obvious place, its already setup in the build system for tests and everything else.
