That does some like an unhelpful example to have, though https://lucene.apache.org/solr/guide/8_6/filter-descriptions.html#synonym-filter does clearly state that it is deprecated in favour of SynonymGraphFilterFactory . Deprecated classes will (should) continue to work, but are likely to be removed at some point, e.g. the next major release. IIRC (might be wrong though) you can simply replace with SynonymFilterFactory with SynonymGraphFilterFactory and it should just work in most cases, but do test it.
