nice and back compatible.
Introduce Settings classes in the future when+where it makes sense.

I liked the idea of something along those lines. I fell out on some of the discussion at the end as well though. Hard to keep up.

Even the static thing seemed fine to me - we do enough of that type of thing in cases where it would be a lot less clear anyway.

Short of that, even passing a settings class in some form would probably be fine. Its not like we don't already have a lot of constructors with a lot of parameters.

I didn't like the idea on first blush, but frankly, its not even all that bad.

I would certainly rather be able to throw a switch to get great performance rather than run through documentation figuring out what I have to toggle and change - repeat when new releases come out. You still should pay attention of course, but hunting down all of the performance 'fixes' is a burden many will probably avoid. Especially those that are evaluating Lucene or building their first system.
