Mike Drob commented on LUCENE-9705:
-----------------------------------
I’m confused about the compatibility implications here. Would codecs have to be
repackaged every release going forward? That sounds like potentially a huge
upgrade pain for users (or maybe not, if nobody specifies codecs directly)
> Move all codec formats to the o.a.l.codecs.Lucene90 package

> Key: LUCENE-9705
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-9705
> Project: Lucene - Core
> Issue Type: Wish
> Reporter: Ignacio Vera
> Priority: Major
> Time Spent: 0.5h
> Remaining Estimate: 0h
>
> Current formats are distributed in different packages, prefixed with the
> Lucene version they were created. With the upcoming release of Lucene 9.0, it
> would be nice to move all those formats to just the o.a.l.codecs.Lucene90
> package (and of course moving the current ones to the backwards-codecs).
> This issue would actually facilitate moving the directory API to little
> endian (LUCENE-9047) as the only codecs that would need to handle backwards
> compatibility will be the codecs in backwards codecs.
> In addition, it can help formalising the use of internal versions vs format
> versioning ( LUCENE-9616)
