Simon Willnauer commented on LUCENE-2628:
-----------------------------------------
bq. I'm not sure I like this. Most of the stuff in the util package should be
marked lucene.internal anyway, so such a jar would be of minimal use.
You are probably right here and I did really expect that to be a serious
option. I was just curious if other would like that so we could discuss the
pros and cons. I personally think if it is only one class people should
duplicate that code and try to keep in sync on their own. Yet the whole code
duplication discussion is a valid point but not worth the hassle here.
bq. Although some might consider utility stuff like this useful, I don't think
we should be creating artifacts that arent focused on search.
we should keep this stuff internal.
I actually don't agree on that, if a nice stand alone jar comes out of what we
do here we should not hesitate to make it usable without the core but that
might be a super rare case and might even have never happened before here but
generally being against such a thing doesn't seem to be community or cross
project friendly to me. I can understand the reasons why this issue has been
created and I support not to push stuff towards a third party dependency from a
lucene point of view (that is just not an option and should stay like that) but
still we can try working with others to use lucene code in a more convenient
way, search related or not.
> Extract OpenBitSet to Apache Commons

> Key: LUCENE-2628
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-2628
> Project: Lucene - Java
> Issue Type: Wish
> Reporter: Stu Hood
>
> 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.
