I think a library should _empower_ a user to discover what works (and doesn't) for them, rather than playing big brother and insist it knows best that there's no way some high setting could ever work for any user. Right? By making it a system property that does not need to be configured for <= 1024, it should raise a red flag to users that they are venturing into unusual territory. i.e. they've been warned. They'd have to go looking for such a setting and see warnings; it's not something a user would do accidentally either. > if we raise the number of dimensions people will then start claiming for higher precision in calculations, LOL People may ask for whatever they want :-) including using/abusing a system beyond its intended scope. So what? BTW I've thoroughly enjoyed seeing several use cases of my code in Lucene/Solr that I had never considered yet worked really well for a user :-D. Pure joy. Of course not every request makes sense to us. I'd rather endure such than turn users away from Lucene that we can support trivially today. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
