------------------------------------
bq. Shai, I have looked at LUCENE-1630 but haven't seen any patch available
It's in the oven :)
bq. I feel removing Searchable in 2.9 is a heavy change and will most likely
break back compat.
Back-compat is already broken in 2.9 due to the Collector work. So people who
extend Searcher will need to implement the new search(***, Collector) methods.
As I understood it, Searcher was really a replacement for Searchable, and I
suspect it was left there not deprecated just because of RMI.
We preferred to add new methods to Searcher as abstract, rather than to
Searchable, b/c we want to move away from interfaces. Therefore I don't think
that delaying that work will do any good - we'll have more methods to maintain
on the interface as well.
But to be honest I don't know what's better. I can have Searcher extend the RMI
class, but that will leave RMI in core. Or I can have Searchable implement new
methods, but that won't take us in the ultimate direction we want - getting rid
of interfaces.

> Reporter: Grant Ingersoll
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 2.9
>
>
> Per http://lucene.markmail.org/message/fu34tuomnqejchfj?q=RemoteSearchable
> We should refactor Searchable slightly so that it doesn't extend the
> java.rmi.Remote marker interface. I believe the same could be achieved by
> just marking the RemoteSearchable and refactoring the RMI implementation out
> of core and into a contrib.
> If we do this, we should deprecate/denote it for 2.9 and then move it for 3.0
