: That is one of my peeves with the Solr Javadocs. Few of the @deprecated tags : (if any) tell what you should be using instead. In this particular case, the : answer is very simple. The class merely moved to a new package:
I've added deprecation comments to the "old" instances of the major request handlers. Keep in mind: Solr is all maintained by volunteers, if you don't like something about the code, feel free to submit a patch. In the case of deprecation messages, they sometimes get overlooked when people use automatic refactoring tools. -Hoss
