To me, this looks like a significant, backward-incompatible changes in
the API. In the world of shared libraries, this kind of stuff makes
changes to the SONAME necessary.
That being said, it might be possible to package a newer version of
icu4j instead (I haven't tried building Lucene4 against anything newer
than 49.1.) Upstream is at 52.1 right now.
