Hoss Man commented on LUCENE-7924:
----------------------------------

Rough (untested) sketch of how this might work...

* Generated HTML documents can be tweaked to start including something like 
{{<!--#include virtual="../../../latest-warning.html" -->}} in all pages -- 
where the relative path {{../../../}} is based on how deep the generated HTML 
doc is in it's "set" of docs (ie: relative to the 'root' of the javadocs for 
this version, or the 'root' of this version of the ref-guide)
** the generated docs can/should include an empty {{latest-warning.html}} file 
at that path, so external users who host their own copy don't get mod_include 
errors for a missing file
* the .htaccess file(s) used on lucene.apache.org can use mod_rewrite rules to 
route any request for {{latest-warning.html}} to a new CGI, preserving the 
(resolved) path from the mod_include request as a "request param" for the CGI 
to use
* the CGI can look at the version# in the path and compare it to the "latest" 
version (which we can start setting in an .htaccess SetEnv variable), outputing 
HTML as needed if they don't match
** the generate HTML can use the original (resolved) path from the request for 
{{latest-warning.html}} to know where to link people to.
* once this is setup and working, it could be backported as far back as we want 
to go, and the hosted javadocs/ref-guides could be regenerated & re-published.

----

So for example: 

* 
https://lucene.apache.org/core/5_2_0/queries/org/apache/lucene/queries/TermsQuery.html
** {{<!--#include virtual="../../../../../latest-warning.html" -->}}
* .htaccess rewrites https://lucene.apache.org/core/5_2_0/latest-warning.html 
to something like https://lucene.apache.org/latest-warning.cgi?path=core/5_2_0/
* latest-warning.cgi extracts "5_2_0" from {{$path}} and compares it to some 
env variable (currently) set to "6_6_0" and decides to output a warning
** in that generated warning HTML, the URL to link to is built by replacing 
"5_2_0" with "6_6_0" -- ie: https://lucene.apache.org/core/6_6_0/
* if the {{$path}} already matches the latest version, then the CGI generates 
blank output

> Spinning this idea out of some comments/concerns in SOLR-10595...
> It would be nice if all the various "version specific" pages we have (ie: 
> javadocs, tutorials, solr ref-guide) could include some standard snippet of 
> text drawing users attention to the fact that they are looking at docs for an 
> "older" version of lucene/solr -- ideally with a link to the current version. 
> ala...
> {panel}
> This page is part of the documentation refers to Lucene 5.4.0. The current 
> version of [Lucene is 6.6.0|http://lucene.apache.org/core/6_6_0/core/].
> {panel}
> The details of how this could work aren't clear cut -- particularly since for 
> any arbitrary URL the "latest" version of those docs may not contain the 
> exact same path/file (ie: deprecated/moved classes in future releases, 
> etc...) but ideally it would be some very generic mod_include / javascript 
> directive that could be included in all generated HTML, that would only 
> "activate" when the page was loaded from lucene.apache.org and would only 
> inject the "warning" into the page based on the version number in the URL 
> compared to some server side configured version number (ex: the way we 
> already have the "latest" version# hardcoded in our .htaccess file for 
> redirects)
