[hibernate-dev] [HSEARCH] Breaking some contracts

Hi guys I've been working on HSEARCH-397 lately. I had to do HSEARCH-541. I had to change the initialize contract of many SPIs: - ReaderProvider - Worker - DirectoryProvider - BackendQueueProcessorFactory - OptimizerStrategy The idea is to pass a BuildContext, WritableBuildContect and WorkerBuildContext object to initialize and containing a subset of the SearchFactoryImplementor contract. For services that require a reference to the SFI, I've provided an getUnititializedSearchFactoryImplementor() whose object cannot be used until after initialize is done. The bad news is that it breaks some semi public contracts. The good news is that it opens the doors to: - create a SearchFactoryBuilder (that will help solve HSEARCH-397) - make SearchFactoryImpl immutable (Sanne will like it).. What do you think? I think the benefit is worth breaking the contracts. I've attached the burst of patches that lead to this. PS Maybe I could create a SFImplementor simulator for legacy implementations, but that complicates things.
