Alexandre Rafalovitch commented on LUCENE-6247:
-----------------------------------------------
Could we have a parent blocker and children for individual issues to discuss?
My strong vote (if I had any) would be to dump Javadoc from 5.0 (yes, with a
re-spin). Explaining it going away in 5.1 would be a lot more awkward. It's a
clear issue with simple solution (just stop building/bundling). Nothing will
break, because nothing relies on those Javadocs. I am already doing Javadocs
online with search built-in (
http://www.solr-start.com/javadoc/solr-lucene/index.html ), so we know that the
shipped Javadocs are not actually all that good or useful.
Bundling as a zip/tgz-only is also easy to do (disable the task), but choosing
which one to keep is harder and there might be downstream tasks that rely on a
particular format's presence. But that should not hold up the Javadocs issue.
So, maybe that should be for 5.1 with a warning/discussion on the dev list
outside of JIRA.
Other artifacts would probably take even more discussion. Target that for 5.1
or 5.2. I have absolutely zero opinions on those as I only use Lucene downloads
to build the Javadocs. But I strongly agree on making things smaller. I suspect
this discussion would also re-trigger the discussion on modularity/plugins.
Both in relations to ElasticSearch implementation of plugins and with recent
work on Solr towards plugins. Sparks could fly.

> 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.
