FAQ
Hi Lucene Guys,

I am interested what is your plan date for releasing Lucene 3.0.
I am asking because seeing on the changes in Lucene 2.9 (especially
changes in backward compatibility) I guess that it will be difficult for
us to adopt our app to Lucene 2.9. I see in your Jira there are not many
issues planned for 3.0, but there are still some new deprecations
removing. There also could come some bug fixes to 2.9. So if you plan to
release 3.0 in some (3-4) months we prefer to adopt our app directly to 3.0.

Another question about your plans about changes in file structure.
According to your backwards-compatibility policy Lucene 3.0 could be not
able to read indexes created from Lucene 1.X. Will it be really so with 3.0?

Best Regards,
Ivan

    I would recommend to adopt your app to 2.9 and enable deprecation warnings.
    As soon as all deprecation warning disappear during compile, you are able to
    just go to 3.0 (just drop in jars when available). This is why we have 2.9.
    2.9: it is just 3.0 with the deprecations not yet removed. No other changes
    extensions to the API.

    That and we are moving to Java 1.5.

    I've been wondering about this for a while: why 1.5?
    1.6 has been out for three years, is it just that the additional
    advantages of it (pluggable annotations is the only thing I can think
    of) are not enough to break compat more?

    We do not need any 1.6 language features for Lucene (we do not use
    annotations at all).

    And: The current 1.6 JVM has still lots of bugs, so e.g. we use still 1.5
    for all Lucene related code. The most important thing for Lucene 3.0 are
    things like StringBuilder and Generics, which is all covered by 1.5.
