Thanks for looking to contribute to the effort, Ivan! The NamedList migration SIP is here: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/spaces/SOLR/pages/340036504/SIP-22+NamedList+Reduction Some progress was made, but it has stalled. The "Proposed Changes" list is useful and ordered. The last completed step was "NamedList.findRecursive: deprecate and stop using". So you could look to the next one or two. Note that the SIP suggests 10.0 is the bigger release to land incompatible changes on but that version is now Solr 11.0, since 10.0 shipped.
Next: Minor: Use Java 17 "sealed classes" to insist the NamedList type hierarchy is exactly what we want; no surprises. Change NamedList *instantiations* to SimpleOrderedMap as appropriate; probably many places. This is Solr 11 only; it can affect backwards compatibility. You might ignore tests for the scope of this. The intended scope of that is where "new" is used -- creating a new NamedList -- using SOM instead. The intended scope is *not* updating common Solr APIs (public methods) to change signature types away from NamedList (to either SOM or Map). Of course we want that too... but perhaps that's too much in one go.
