Alessandro Benedetti commented on SOLR-17927:
---------------------------------------------

+ 1 for renaming neural search to vector search. 
At the time, the information retrieval community was struggling to find a good 
name, and neural information retrieval was a thing 
(https://arxiv.org/abs/1611.06792), I decided on the name, but then vector 
search became much more widely used.
Definitely a necessary rename!

In regard to the 'llm' module, I'm a bit more dubious:
The intent of that module is to use langChain4j to expose LLM integrations 
(starting from text vectorisation).
So having 'org.apache.solr.llm.textvectorisation' is ok to me, and more 
packages will come (including potentially RAG, query parsing through LLM, LLM 
data enrichers ect).
I would keep that name to be honest.
Just an opinion!

> I propose we:
> * Rename llm (module) to "inference" or "embedding" module
> * Rename "neural search" to "vector search"
> Solr 10 is a good opportunity to do this.
