Robert Muir commented on LUCENE-5858:
-------------------------------------
What is the problem with codecs/ ?
Its not mandatory today. Its only mandatory for tests, which is the advantage,
there is no risk to the build system moving stuff there. It removes it from the
core jar and makes it optional, whereas today its mandatory.
This is the conservative route: trying to add a new jar is more complex... I'm
not against it, I just want to make an improvement step for 5.0. If someone
else wants to do the build system work for some backcompat module, thats great,
but it shouldnt be a requirement for getting this crap out of core.
Especially since its trunk, core/ shouldn't be cluttered with all this cruft.
> Move back compat codecs out of core/ into codecs/ jar

> These take significant space and bloat core lucene. Not everyone needs the
> ability to read ancient indexes (especially building a new app).
> We should move this cruft out of the core/ jar. codecs/ is the obvious place,
> its already setup in the build system for tests and everything else.
