Deprecated Classes

Class and Description
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.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

Enum and Description
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

Field and Description
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

Method and Description
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(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.
