[hibernate-dev] Hibernate.next version and AS 7.2 community release...

[Sanne Grinovero]

Hibernate Search is currently requiring to be able to re-read the
metada for on-the-fly reconfiguration of the mapped entities, but if
we can reload the Jandex index every time that's needed that would be
fine. This "internal reboot" is slow anyways and not expected to
trigger frequently.

In short: it's ok to release references to the index, but needs a way
to reload it if needed.
