Michael Sokolov commented on LUCENE-10168:
------------------------------------------

I haven't messed around with these tests, so I was curious and did some timing 
with curious results; I think you mean the tests in backward-codecs? My laptop 
runs tests in backward-codecs (2 runs) in 2m16s/2m22s in IntelliJ and 43s/43s 
running {{./gradlew lucene:backward-codecs:test }}. Hunh? Is gradle caching 
some test results? When I run all tests using gradle, it takes 6m21s/6m44s - I 
don't see a way to run all tests from IntelliJ. If it's true that 
backward-codecs tests take 43s, or about 1/18 of the total, then this doesn't 
seem like such a big deal, but I'm not sure about the measurement here.

Assuming I'm wrong and there is a lot of time dedicated to testing back-compat 
(are there tests outside backward-codecs that also do that?), what about 
running them less often: making them @Nightly tests?

> Recently it was decided to extend back compat *two* major releases, as a best 
> effort.
> The effort has not been the best, though.
> Test times have doubled (10 minutes vs 5 minutes on my computer), all the 
> slowness is in backwards codecs tests. And 9.0 isn't even released! Imagine 
> how slow the tests would be if we somehow made it to e.g. 9.10 release or 
> something.
> It is unsustainable. 
> This issue is to drop support for 7.0 indexes. I realize some ppl won't be 
> happy about that, if you don't like it, then suggest some alternative fix for 
> the tests and put in your time. Otherwise bye bye.
