[infinispan-dev] Dropping support for older versions of Apache Lucene

All, please note I've sent the pull request which removes support for Apache Lucene versions 2.x and 3.x [1] The currently recommended version is Apache Lucene 4.8.1; if someone has really strong needs to keep support for Lucene 3 please speak up now as the patch is rather large and complex. However the primary reason for us to drop this, is that it makes it very tricky and time consuming to develop a better integration with Lucene 4+ so I don't think it will be possible to maintain the support for the older version, unless someone volunteers for it. Note that the Query engine and all such extras we built on it, were already migrated to Lucene 4 so there is no loss of other functionality.
