Michael McCandless commented on LUCENE-2094:
--------------------------------------------

bq. I consider this as a misunderstanding caused by too much instant messaging.

We need to strive to keep technical discussions public, for this reason.  If 
you ever find yourself discussing technical direction of changes to Lucene, 
privately, kick yourself and others near you and then take it back to the list 
:)

You all probably felt that you reached consensus (over IM), but to the rest of 
us, it suddenly felt like you committed while we were still debating the 
approach.  Like Mark, I'm certainly not saying anything bad was done, but, it's 
a dangerous precedent that "consensus reached in private is then acted on in 
public without corresponding public consensus".

Erring on the side of caution, moving more slowly, when consensus is iffy, is 
best.  Mark's original idea -- to separately open the question of "hey let's 
commit this as it stands now and then debate the Version vs separate boolean 
separately" would've been a good approach, I think.

Also, I think other Apache communities have public chats, where 
devs/contributors/users can hang out and discuss stuff, and it's well 
publicized that this is the standard place where things are discussed, anyone 
can join in, etc.  We could consider taking that step for Lucene?  Those of us 
who are online can then hang out.  I don't like that it's not 
archived/searchable (or... is it?  Anyone know what other communities do?  EG, 
is there a way to set up an IRC channel and have it archived?).  IM clearly is 
a nice, fast interactive way to discuss things, far better than email / 
appending to Jira issues.

> CharArraySet does lowercaseing if created with the correspondent flag. This 
> causes that  String / char[] with uncode 4 chars which are in the set can not 
> be retrieved in "ignorecase" mode.
