Robert Muir commented on LUCENE-9890:
-------------------------------------
I think the api is almost a lost cause at this point. Overwhelming number of
public classes. Many of the classes should not even be public, they just are
for artificial reasons. I have my IDE configured to add lucene.experimental to
any new files automatically. I think we must adopt the Java Module System,
exposing maybe 5% or so of the current surface area.
> Retire @lucene.experimental tag and enforce @since tag for public classes

> Key: LUCENE-9890
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-9890
> Project: Lucene - Core
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: general/javadocs
> Reporter: Tomoko Uchida
> Priority: Minor
>
> We have 800+ {{@lucene.experimental}} annotations in the main branch. Many of
> those classes were created years ago and have been time-tested on various
> setups, so may be able to be cleaned up.
> {code:java}
> lucene $ git grep lucene.experimental | wc -l
> 804
> {code}
> BTW, do we really need this annotation...?
> The description of it says nothing about when we should remove it from the
> javadocs: "lucene.experimental:a:WARNING: This API is experimental and might
> change in incompatible ways in the next release."
