Robert Muir commented on LUCENE-6247:
-------------------------------------

It would be good to get opinions on the other lucene changes here. Consensus on 
removing javadocs from the binary release is great, since its ~23MB we don't 
need, but the other proposed changes really get the size to something 
reasonable.

For example once we remove the javadocs, .zip and .tar.gz are on par size-wise, 
so I propose to remove one of them. I do not care which one it is, but I don't 
think having both is really helpful for lucene. The third party jars are also 
very large, so we should discuss that too.

NOTE: I didn't do experiments with solr, its an app so it has more complexities 
here. I am sure the packaging may need to be different there.

> This is a growing problem and now, its spun out of control.
> The latest release artifacts are half a gigabyte. sorry, I am against adding 
> more retries to the smoke tester and continuing down the same path 
> (LUCENE-6231).
> Instead I open this blocker issue to discuss fixing this. Whenever i tried to 
> fix it before (e.g. removing zips), people complained at me "what are you 
> trying to fix" and wouldn't let me minimize it in the slightest.
> Now the problem is clear, we have a blocker issue to discuss it.
