Hoss Man commented on LUCENE-2323:
----------------------------------

I personally don't have a strong opinion on this, but i wanted to point it out 
for completeness:

the last time i remember a big discussion about reorging contribs, there seemed 
to be a strong sentiment that we should be striving for more "small" 
contribs/modules -- specificly in terms of artifact size/complexity.  I think 
one specific example was that some poeple might want a few langauge specific 
analyzers, but not all of them -- and if they have no direct dependencies on 
each other (just core) we should try to build/distribute them as (tiny) 
individual Jars -- and possible in (big) bundled jars as well.

So while it might make a lot of sense to organize some existing contribs into 
logical "groups" which might get build up in big bundled jars, there are likely 
going to be people who still want to comsume the existing jars (or even more 
granular jars)

Looking at the specific suggestions robert made: it makes sense to logically 
organize all the query parsers under a common directory, but how many users are 
actually using more then one and are we doing them a disservice if we only ship 
them in one big jar?   Ditto for the highlighters (does anyone besides Solr use 
*both* highlighters in a single application?)

> it would be nice to reorganize contrib modules, so that they are bundled 
> together by functionality.
> For example:
> * the wikipedia contrib is a tokenizer, i think really belongs in 
> contrib/analyzers
> * there are two highlighters, i think could be one highlighters package.
> * there are many queryparsers and queries in different places in contrib
