Standalone versions of LUCENE-5205 and other patches.
Main Branches: The branches are named for the version of Lucene/Solr then the branch id, e.g. lucene5.5-0.2 is the more recent working branch tagged to Lucene 5.5.x.
As of this writing (5/23/2016), LUCENE-5205, SOLR-5410 and LUCENE-5317 are working on all branches. Still need to update/refactor SOLR-5411.
The overall goal is to transition these components into the living Lucene/Solr codebase. However, until a committer has the interest and time to do that, this package should make it easier for users to get the code for the latest stable versions of Lucene/Solr.
Lucene 5.4.0 brought a regression that prevents MultiTermQueries from working within SpanNotQueries (LUCENE-6929). Avoid 5.4.0!
