Hi I was wondering why doesn't the Lucene code uses Java logging, instead of the infoStream set in IndexWriter? Today, if I want to enable tracing of Lucene code, the only thing I can do is set an infoStream, but then I get many many messages. Moreoever, those messages seem to cover indexing code only.
I hope to get some opinions on the use of Java logging instead of infoStream, and hopefully to start addind logging messages in other places in the code (like during search, query parsing etc.) I feel that this is an approach the community has to decide on before we start adding messages to the code. Using Java logging can greatly benefit tracing of indexing applications who use Lucene. If the vote is +1 for using Java logging, we can start by deprecating infoStream (in 2.9, remove in 3.0) and use logging instead. What do you think? Shai
