--------------------------------------
[~hossman] I think you meant for your comment to be on SOLR-10700 and on that
issue I did update highlighting.adoc.
> Remove PostingsHighlighter in 7.0
> ---------------------------------
>
> Key: LUCENE-7815
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-7815
> Project: Lucene - Core
> Issue Type: Task
> Components: modules/highlighter
> Reporter: David Smiley
> Assignee: David Smiley
> Fix For: master (7.0)
>
> Attachments: LUCENE_7815_Remove_PostingsHighlighter.patch,

> The UnifiedHighlighter is derived from the PostingsHighlighter, which should
> be quite obvious to anyone who cares to look at them. There is no feature in
> the PH that is not also present in the UH. The PH is marked as
> {{lucene.experimental}} so we may remove it in 7.0. The upgrade path is
> pretty easy given the API similarity. By removing the PH, the goal is to
> ease maintenance. Some issues lately have been applicable to both of these
> highlighters which is annoying to apply twice. In one case I forgot to. And
> of course there is user confusion by having both.
> What I propose to do in this issue is move {{CustomSeparatorBreakIterator}}
> and {{WholeBreakIterator}} out of the {{postingshighlight}} package into the
> {{uhighlight}} package (or perhaps add a {{common}} or {{util}} should future
> highlighters need them?). Then of course remove {{postingshighlight}}
> package.
