> An year ago I had started prototyping the upgrade to Lucene 5 [1], in the meantime version 6 (and 7 soon) has come out.
> I think it'd be very nice to upgrade Lucene version to the latest, this would give us improvements in space consumption and runtime performance.
> In case we want to upgrade to 6.0 or later we need to consider upgrade scenarios because Lucene Codecs are backward compatible with the previous major release, so Lucene 6 can read Lucene 5 but not Lucene 4.x (4.7 in our case) therefore we would need to detect that when reading an index and trigger reindexing using the new format.
> Related to that there's also a patch to upgrade Solr index to version 5 (see OAK-4318).
