So I specifically wanted to implement the `postUpdateIndicesCleanup` so that not all `IndexHandler` classes need to implement this. So don't really like the idea of a utility class as I'll need to implement this method to call the utility. > Alternatively, will it make sense to call it BaseIndexHandler instead with the same purpose of extracting out common piece into it and let concrete implementations override the abstract implementation when needed ? `BaseIndexHandler` is an option. Do you suggest that all `IndexHandler` classes extend from this, and the classes that don't use the forward index to build their indexes just override the `postUpdateIndicesCleanup` to be a no-op? > Another question for future changes - going forward if someone wants to implement the IndexHandler interface, then they should extend from BaseForwardIndexBasedIndexHandler if the index generation needs fwd index otherwise directly implement IndexHandler ? Is that the expectation ? Yes that was indeed the expectation -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
