Deprecated Classes

org.apache.lucene.util.IndexableBinaryStringTools
Implement TermToBytesRefAttribute and store bytes directly instead. This class will be removed in Lucene 5.0

org.apache.lucene.codecs.lucene3x.Lucene3xCodec
Only for reading existing 3.x indexes

org.apache.lucene.codecs.lucene3x.Lucene3xSegmentInfoFormat
(4.0) This is only used to read indexes created before 4.0.

org.apache.lucene.codecs.lucene3x.Lucene3xSegmentInfoReader
Only for reading existing 3.x indexes

Deprecated Enums

org.apache.lucene.document.Field.Index
This is here only to ease transition from the pre-4.0 APIs.

org.apache.lucene.document.Field.TermVector
This is here only to ease transition from the pre-4.0 APIs.

Deprecated Fields

org.apache.lucene.search.FuzzyQuery.defaultMinSimilarity
pass integer edit distances instead.

org.apache.lucene.util.Constants.JRE_IS_MINIMUM_JAVA6
With Lucene 4.0, we are always on Java 6

Deprecated Methods

org.apache.lucene.search.FuzzyQuery.floatToEdits(float, int)
pass integer edit distances instead.

org.apache.lucene.index.Fields.getUniqueTermCount()
iterate fields and add their size() instead. this method is only provided as a transition mechanism to access this statistic for 3.x indexes, which do not have this statistic per-field.

org.apache.lucene.util.CharsRef.getUTF16SortedAsUTF8Comparator()
This comparator is only a transition mechanism

org.apache.lucene.util.BytesRef.getUTF8SortedAsUTF16Comparator()
This comparator is only a transition mechanism

org.apache.lucene.index.AtomicReader.hasNorms(String)
(4.0) use AtomicReader.getFieldInfos() and check FieldInfo.hasNorms() for the field instead.

org.apache.lucene.index.IndexReader.open(Directory)
Use DirectoryReader.open(Directory)

org.apache.lucene.index.IndexReader.open(Directory, int)
Use DirectoryReader.open(Directory,int)

org.apache.lucene.index.IndexReader.open(IndexCommit)
Use DirectoryReader.open(IndexCommit)

org.apache.lucene.index.IndexReader.open(IndexCommit, int)
Use DirectoryReader.open(IndexCommit,int)

org.apache.lucene.index.IndexReader.open(IndexWriter, boolean)
Use DirectoryReader.open(IndexWriter,boolean)

org.apache.lucene.store.Directory.IndexInputSlicer.openFullSlice()
Only for reading CFS files from 3.x indexes.

org.apache.lucene.document.Field.translateFieldType(Field.Store, Field.Index, Field.TermVector)
This is here only to ease transition from the pre-4.0 APIs.

org.apache.lucene.index.SegmentInfos.write3xInfo(Directory, SegmentInfo, IOContext)
