Cassandra Targett commented on SOLR-13173:
------------------------------------------
Solr still has not formally deprecated RAMDirectory (that I can tell) although
Dawid's change from LUCENE-8474 does delegate it to ByteBuffersDirectoryFactory
(see {{RAMDirectoryFactory.java}}). It's referenced in dozens of test configs,
but also included in the Solr Ref Guide as an option for DirectoryFactory
(https://solr.apache.org/guide/8_10/datadir-and-directoryfactory-in-solrconfig.html).
As we're getting closer to 9.0, I thought we should revive this to see if
there's anything else we want to do here before then?
> Remove RAMDirectoryFactory after RAMDirectory removal?

> Priority: Minor
>
> This is a spinoff from LUCENE-8474. RAMDirectory is now officially gone from
> Lucene, replaced by a different memory-backed (byte buffers) implementation.
> Should we rename RAMDirectoryFactory in Solr or just change the
> implementation, leaving the name as is and looking at it as an implementation
> detail?
> RAMDirectoryFactory is used in a lot of places, so it a
> compatibility-breaking change (that doesn't add any value). I'm keen on
> leaving it as is, but looking for feedback from those more familiar with Solr
> deployments.
