Tomoko Uchida commented on LUCENE-9855:
---------------------------------------
Thanks [~rcmuir] and [~jpountz].
I think it will be great if we comply with Lucene's standard backward compat
policy, without making exceptions.
Besides, if we change the format name now, I think it should be a permanent one
that works for both of developers and users; renaming format shouldn't happen
repeatedly to me. [~sokolov] and [~julietibs] what do you think on my the last
suggestion?

> Main points here are 1) use plural form for consistency, and 2) use more
> specific name for ann search (second point could be optional).
