> Ishan, that also means that you only need to revert SOLR-15694 on branch_9_0
In Apache Solr, committers don't tell other committers to revert commits without a proper technical justification. You were late in cutting the release branch for 9.0, and now "need" me to revert my commit because you're not comfortable with the commit making it to the release? This is very demoralizing. When contributors work for months on a feature, they hope to see a released version of Solr with that feature. In the case of SOLR-15694, we took several extra steps to ensure broader community participation. If you still demand of me to revert the commit, I'll comply since I don't want to hold up this release. In that case, I'll backport to a 8.12 release so that users can use the feature sooner than waiting another 2-3 months for a 9.1 release.
