Adrien Grand commented on LUCENE-5325:
--------------------------------------

Adrien, by "improve the multi-valued APIs", are you perhaps referring 
ValueSource/FunctionValue's rather odd set of methods that take a 2nd parameter 
which is an array to dump multiple values out into? MultiValueSource goes along 
with this. I rather hate MultiValueSource and all those overloaded methods – I 
look forward to seeing a better design. The main problem with MultiValueSource 
is that it's design is limited to all documents having a constant number of 
values, it doesn't vary per document. Notice MultiValueSource's dimension() 
takes no arguments – it's result is effectively constant.

Exactly. :-)

> Spinoff from LUCENE-5298: ValueSource and FunctionValues are abstract APIs 
> which exist under the queries/ module. That causes any module which wants to 
> depend on these APIs (but not necessarily on any of their actual 
> implementations!), to depend on the queries/ module. If we move these APIs 
> under core/, we can eliminate these dependencies and add some mock impls for 
> testing purposes.
> Quoting Robert from LUCENE-5298:
> {quote}
> we should eliminate the suggest/ dependencies on expressions and queries, the 
> expressions/ on queries, the grouping/ dependency on queries, the spatial/ 
> dependency on queries, its a mess.
> {quote}
> To add to that list, facet/ should not depend on queries too.
