Mark Miller commented on LUCENE-1695:
-------------------------------------
Here we would need to deprecate the whole Highlighter or add some pretty nasty
code to the current one to support both. Because the Highlighter has no back
compat promise, I'd almost rather just jump to the new API. I think there are a
couple other breaks that should be made (to make using the SpanScorer more
rational when we make it the default), so doing everything at once with 2.9
seems somewhat reasonable to me. Updating code to work with the new API should
be as straightforward as updating a TokenFilter/TokenStream. I think you could
probably continue using the 2.4 Highlighter jar as well? All of the classes
should be intact and compatible I think.
