@tylerbertrand said he is working on this in the linked PRs just want to make sure this change doesn't get lost. FYI @uschindler

Actually the basic changes can simply be cherry-picked cross-repository, so maybe its easy. I can also have a look.

[tylerbertrand]

Yeah I tried cherry picking the changes from solr but it looked like there were some small differences between them that required a few changes.

[uschindler]

The problem is often that some changes in Lucene were not ported to Solr. It is often advisable to start in Lucene as it often is more modern. I know the problem. It still often works very easy.
