don't expect to be able to take advantage of it just yet.<br>
<br>
Hi all,<br>
<br>
we just released Hibernate Search 5.8.0.Beta3 and it's meant to be our<br>
last beta!<br>
<br>
Progress and pace are looking very good.<br>
<br>
The details of the release can be found on our blog [1] as usual, but<br>
I'd like to call out on several changes relevant for Infinispan.<br>
<br>
First and foremost, know that we'll be working on 6.0 as next big<br>
thing; at that stage the API will see a significant redesign, focused<br>
on making Lucene an optional implementation detail.<br>
<br>
This makes this 5.8 significant for Infinispan as it's the last one<br>
you'll have until you're ready to break API.<br>
<br>
We've been working hard on addressing the needs of Infinispan, but in<br>
several cases we had to make - and will still make - dramatic changes<br>
in the SPI.<br>
<br>
Some benefits relevant to you all:<br>
- the "ram" directory changed name as you suggested just recently<br>
- statistics now include index size (how large is it to store it)<br>
- a proper API to define Analyzers programmatically, you could now<br>
add "out of the box" default definitions for Infinispan server.<br>
- the same for Normalizers (a new concept, see the blog [1])<br>
- tons of other improvements and bugfixes ;) such as:<br>
-- better performance by finally being able to use JDK8 features<br>
-- Java 9 compatibility<br>
-- a critical performance improvement in Spatial bridges<br>
-- better Spring and CDI improvements<br>
<br>
<br>
# A new type system is coming !<br>
<br>
And this is the main point.. however, it's not ready yet as it's a huge change.<br>
<br>
The new type system - also named "free form" in all the meetings in<br>
which we wished we had it - needs to start from the SPI and that's<br>
partially included in this Beta.<br>
(We postponed this for way too long by trying to match a good time to<br>
break SPIs.. we'll just break it or it will never happen)<br>
<br>
I will soon send a PR to update Infinispan to *work fine* with the<br>
current SPI changes, but I will refrain from refactoring anything yet,<br>
so that we can validate it all in small steps.<br>
<br>
Still, many other existing SPI methods have been deprecated:<br>
<br>
As soon as that's merged, I'll need help to migrate away from all<br>
those deprecated methods as I simply can't make progress on the Search<br>
side without starting to delete a good amount of these deprecated<br>
methods.<br>
So please know this: most of those deprecated methods will be removed<br>
from Hibernate Search soon; we can of course keep some of them around<br>
if we identify strong needs, but identifying these points can only be<br>
done by getting started.<br>
<br>
Please note that you can't yet plug-in a new type system to benefit<br>
REST, Protobuf or other systems:<br>
- several components still make assumptions about this being backed<br>
by annotated POJOs<br>
- there's no SPI yet to plugin alternative metadata<br>
<br>
There's also no API to extract indexed values from an alternative<br>
system, although I'm sure you could keep using the current hacks for<br>
this to work out: it's not possible to get this in 5.8 so it will have<br>
to be 6+.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Sanne<br>
