How would they know? Are there releases for sandbox modules? Also, if I
understand correctly that would require users to build the jars themselves,
correct?

Also as expressed on the RC2 thread, we don't have to delay the release -
I'll add a note (to
solr/solr-ref-guide/modules/upgrade-notes/pages/major-changes-in-solr-10.adoc
?)
about the breakage, and availability of a subsequent fix in the future. I
am told we are going to have a 10.1 RC3 anyway to accommodate other fixes
and possibly the Jetty upgrade.

Reason I am not entirely sold on the sandbox idea is we are talking about
abruptly telling production users to monitor the sandbox based on a one
time occurence despite a known timeline for a fix...at a time when other
popular Lucene based search engines today ship with GPU acceleration
capabilities for vector search. Probably if this becomes a repeating
concern we revisit this option then?

@Eric Pugh <[email protected]> That's a good question. I did
enquire about the possibility of expediting the fix for Lucene 10.4,
however it seems it entails more work than could be accommodated in a short
window of a week or two. But they are looking to release cuvs-lucene 26.12
in December which will have support through Lucene 10.5 (atleast). The
planned cadence I have been made aware of is a cuvs-lucene release every
two months starting December compatible with the latest Lucene version
released as of the start of the release cycle of cuvs-lucene.

Thanks,
Rahul
