> Is it OK to just change the interface and implement what you suggest? Yes, that's ok. We'll put a notice about a breaking change to the release notes, so that users having there own indexer plugin know they have to adapt it. > Should it be best-effort to keep things BC? We could try to only extend the IndexWriter interface and provide default do-nothing implementations for newly added methods as most index writers do not write data to the filesystem. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
