Robert Muir commented on LUCENE-10168:
--------------------------------------
Something to keep in mind, with whatever we do, is that I think it is important
for the smoketester to run all the backwards tests too. It is OK for it to be
slowish since it isn't something you run over and over during normal
development.
> drop support for 7.0 indexes in 9.0 (master)

> Key: LUCENE-10168
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-10168
> Project: Lucene - Core
> Issue Type: Task
> Reporter: Robert Muir
> Priority: Blocker
>
> Recently it was decided to extend back compat *two* major releases, as a best
> effort.
> The effort has not been the best, though.
> Test times have doubled (10 minutes vs 5 minutes on my computer), all the
> slowness is in backwards codecs tests. And 9.0 isn't even released! Imagine
> how slow the tests would be if we somehow made it to e.g. 9.10 release or
> something.
> It is unsustainable.
> This issue is to drop support for 7.0 indexes. I realize some ppl won't be
> happy about that, if you don't like it, then suggest some alternative fix for
> the tests and put in your time. Otherwise bye bye.
