Uwe Schindler commented on LUCENE-5858:
---------------------------------------
I would also suggest to move the backwards codecs into a separate JAR, not the
experimental codecs module! We should also maybe add some useful text to the
Codec.forName() and PostingsFormat.forName() APIs, so it tells the user that he
might need to add lucene-backwards-codecs.jar into classpath.
> 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.
