1. No, BitVector format is not in the backwards compatible package. 2. Correct, there have been previous discussions in an effort to add it as a similarity value, but those conversations are blocked until we come up with a better system. We don't want to add fully-backwards compatible similarities that our core formats should support until we have a road for deprecating the existing ones. 3. "If a user overriding the Scorer for the flatVectorsFormat..." This implies a custom vector format, so the user will handle that themselves. However, this doesn't obviate the need for configured similarities as the default core (and fully bwc formats), still use it. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
