Hello everyone, Time flies, I started this email thread ~3.5 months ago and we now have ~3 months before September 22nd, where 10.0 will go on feature freeze.
Robert kindly added a description to the GitHub milestone that refers to this thread: https://github.com/apache/lucene/milestone/2. Overall, progress looks rather good to me: - I/O concurrency is progressing nicely https://github.com/apache/lucene/issues/13179. In particular I'm hoping to merge I/O concurrency for terms dictionary lookups soon. - Ignacio recently merged initial support for sparse indexing. https://github.com/apache/lucene/issues/11432 There are follow-ups we need to address, but they look reasonable in terms of amount of work and uncontroversial. Some things have got less traction: - We haven't made significant progress on intra-segment search concurrency: https://github.com/apache/lucene/issues/9721. - Relatedly, if we think that IndexSearcher should enable concurrency by default, a major version is a good time to make such a big change to runtime behavior. https://github.com/apache/lucene/issues/11523 In any case, help is welcome. I know people have been creating more issues that they attached to the 10.0 milestone, e.g. doing more off-heap scoring for vectors https://github.com/apache/lucene/issues/13515 or deprecating the COSINE similarity https://github.com/apache/lucene/issues/13281. This is great too, the list isn't closed, I'll start thinking harder about which changes specifically should block the release as we get closer to September (I can't think of any at the moment). In the meantime, it's fine to optimistically attach issues to the 10.0 milestone.
