Shai Erera commented on LUCENE-2323:
------------------------------------
Robert - I think that's exactly what I was proposing. You indicated that there
are some components under contrib that you cannot move around because their
package names would change, and I said that I don't think their package names
should change :). So you can move XMLQP under contrib/queryparsers and its
package name will stay the same ...
I also think that at least for analyzers, having all of them under one contrib
jar will allow us to improve the way our users interact w/ analyzers. Consider
for example an AnalyzerFactory which when receiving a Locale returns a
pre-configured Analyzer, the best one we can think of for that Locale. That's
(to me) a great service to our users, and I don't see how we can do that if all
analyzers are under different modules. Besides, analyzers are logically close
to each other because they perform a very specific task. Refactoring the
analysis API again would be easier of all of them were under the same root
directory ... less chance of missing some.
Query parsers are different because I agree a user will likely pick one for his
app and go with it. But I don't think we're talking about massive amount of
code here right? So again it makes sense to bundle them up together. We can
have a module-level documentation of the different query parsers, pros and cons
for each, use cases etc., and then the user can pick. If jar size is important
to someone, then I think that someone is already recompiling everything to
include just what he needs, and so we're not hurting anyone here.
Therefore I see this reorg as a logical and important step towards
modularization.

> Components: contrib/*
> Reporter: Robert Muir
>
> 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
