Robert Muir commented on LUCENE-2628: ------------------------------------- bq. Should be pretty strong reasons to break things out into modules. I don't want to have to piece together 15 tiny jars every time i write a some simple lucene code. I agree. an example that might fit this case would be queryparsing: * there is a mix of functionality strewn across lucene/solr. * most of them are 99% the same and differ only in one small piece * its a back compat nightmare (given javacc grammars etc) * functionality and consistency lags behind, maybe due to the above: e.g. lack of span support in most for something like that, i wouldnt mind an additional jar if it was all cleaned up and organized into a module, where things like Version could be dropped and it could evolve naturally: real versions and you just keep using the old jar if you want exact behavior. > 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.
