Ideally we would deprecate the method in 9x and give users some notice. It is rather easy to remove usages and deprecate, I only worry about possible custom implementations of the method, because it is not final and subclasses can entirely override its behaviour. Such overrides would be a no-op if we replace all the usages of the deprecated method in 9x, which feels like it breaks stuff potentially. Users would need to immediately switch to overriding the other method instead. If we leave the main usage (IndexSearcher#searchLeaf) behind though, it feels odd that we use a deprecated method in such a core part of search. I am a bit torn on how to proceed, do you have an opinion? -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
