Hi Javi, Ultimately I'd love these patches to be applied to Solr trunk, or to the current 3.x stable branch. At the time I posted there was little interest in doing that and rather than have those patches sit, I pushed them out to a Github repository here: http://github.com/chrismattmann/solrcene Jan H. was pinging me before and looked like he had some interest last October I think but I'm not sure anything came of it. Honestly, at the time I went through a ton of effort to get the patches commit ready, but I'd be willing to try again. Theoretically some of those patches should be pushed out to Apache SIS (e.g., the generic Geonames.org reader/loader), and then it would be great to integrate some of the work with SIS and Lucene/Solr. If you're interested, would be happy to chat with you on sis-...@incubator.apache.org about it.
