Yonik Seeley commented on SOLR-885: ----------------------------------- bq. I do not see any difference between NamedList and SimpleOrderedMap . Both has same semantics. See the javadoc for SimpleOrderedMap: {code} /** <code>SimpleOrderedMap</code> is a [EMAIL PROTECTED] NamedList} where access by key is more * important than maintaining order when it comes to representing the * held data in other forms, as ResponseWriters normally do. * It's normally not a good idea to repeat keys or use null keys, but this * is not enforced. If key uniqueness enforcement is desired, use a regular [EMAIL PROTECTED] Map}. * <p> * For example, a JSON response writer may choose to write a SimpleOrderedMap * as {"foo":10,"bar":20} and may choose to write a NamedList as * ["foo",10,"bar",20]. An XML response writer may choose to render both * the same way. * </p> {code} The problem is that some clients don't maintain order (for example, doing eval() of JSON/python/ruby output). It wouldn't be an issue if we had control over all clients, but we don't. > Generify NamedListCodec > ----------------------- > > Key: SOLR-885 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-885 > Project: Solr > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Noble Paul > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 1.4 > > Attachments: SOLR-885.patch > > > * make NamedListCodec a generic class which may be able to write any of the > supported object > * Deprecate NamedList and use only SimpleOrderedMap.
