[HSearch] DSL for Lucene queries (was: Re: [infinispan-dev] Query module new API and configurations)
by Emmanuel Bernard
I've been thinking about a DSL to build Lucene queries in the last day.
What do you think of this proposal?
A few remarks:
- it asks the analyzer so that we correctly apply the analyzer on
terms
- it has a few query factory methods
- it contains a few orthogonal operations
- I am not quite satisfied with how boolean is handled, any idea?
Examples
SealedQueryBuilder qb = searchFactory.withEntityAnalyzer(Address.class);
Query luceneQuery =
qb.must(Occurs.MUST)
.add(
qb.boolean(Occurs.Should)
.add( qb.term("city",
"Atlanta").boostedTo(4).createQuery() )
.add( qb.term("address1",
"Peachtree").fuzzy().createQuery() )
)
.add(
qb.from("movingDate",
"200604").to("201201").exclusive().createQuery()
)
.createQuery();
Analyzer choice
queryBuilder.withAnalyzer(Analyzer)
queryBuilder.withEntityAnalyzer(Class<?>)
queryBuilder.basedOnEntityAnalyzer(Class<?>)
.overridesForField(String field, Analyzer)
.overridesForField(String field, Analyzer)
.build() //sucky name
returns a SealedQueryBuilder //sucky name
SealedQueryBuilder contains the factory methods
Factory methods
Hosted onSealedQueryBuilder
.term(String field, String text) //define a new query
.term(String field, String text) //define a new query
.ignoreAnalyzer() //ignore the analyzer, optional
.fuzzy() //API prevent wildcard calls, optional
.threshold() //optional
.prefixLengh() //optional
.term(String field, String value)
.wildcard() //API prevent fuzzy calls, optional
//range query
.from(String field, String text)
.exclusive() //optional
.to(String text)
.exclusive() //optional
.constantScore() //optional, due to constantScoreRangeQuery but
in practice inherited from the common operations
//match all docs
.all()
//phrase query
.phrase(String field)
.ignoreAnalyzer() //ignore the analyzer, optional
.addWord(String text) //at least one
.addWord(String text)
.sentence(String text) //do we need that?
.slop() //optional
//search multiple fields for same value
.searchInMultipleFields()
.onField(String field)
.boostedTo(float) //optional
.ignoreAnalyzer() //optional
.onField(String field)
.forWords(String) //do we need that?
.forWord(String)
Boolean operations
SealedQueryBuilder contains the boolean methods
.boolean(Occurs occurs)
.add( qb.from().to() )
.add( ... )
Works on all queries
.boostedTo()
.constantScore()
.filter(Filter) //filter the current query
.scoreMultipliedByField(field) //FieldScoreQuery +
FunctionQuery?? //Not backed
.createQuery()
Todo
Span*Queries
MultiPhraseQuery - needs to fillup all accepted terms
FieldScoreQuery
ValueSourceQuery

Feedback on Infinispan patch
by Emmanuel Bernard
Hey Lukasz,
Your patch looks quite good and pass tests on my side.
I encourage others to check out the patch before we apply it (ideally
another person form HSearch and one person from infinispan.
Lukasz, I have a few questions/remarks though before applying it. Can
you answer / adjust the patch?
IndexWriterSetting
Why move to return Object in parsing from the initial int?
Move DPHelper#createInfinispanCacheManager to IDP
this is not something that can be shared as it creates a hard
dependency on infinispan otherwise.
in createInfinispanCacheManager
Don't log in error the fact that xml is not used if a default config
is used. Just log in trace at best.
Rename InfinispanCacheManagerConfigurationImpl to
DefaultInfinispanCacheManagerConfiguration or even better with a name
describing nicely the behavior of the infinispan config.
in InfinispanIndexOutput, is it possible to get writeBytes bigger than
buffer size? If yes, does newCheck creates the appropriate numbers of
chunks?
InfinispanDirectoryProvider
put the configuration proeprties available in the
InfinispanDirectoryProvider javadoc.
I think the default cache name should be "Hibernate Search" instead of
"HSInfinispanCache". We know it's in infinispan :)
what's the try catch opening and closing an IW about? It looks weird.
in stop()
you don't close the CacheManager? How is that?
InfinispanCacheManagerConfigurationImpl
What does "Infinispan-Cluster" correspond to? Why this name? Shouldn't
it be "Hibernate Search cluster"?
Is it safe to override the GlobalConfiguration? What if JBoss AS use
infinispan to run?
Why the use of DummyTransactionManagerLookup. Doesn't Infinispan guess
the right TM depending on the environment? e in JBoss As use the JBoss
one etc? I think GenericTransactionManagerLookup does that.
InfinispanCacheManagerConfiguration
some javadoc on the methods would be useful. I don't know what do
implement here.
Is there a better name for Metadata? Like FileMetadata maybe?
Where is ispn-cache-default-conf.xml used? For tests only? If not: is
it possible to use a programmatic version instead and what is "It's a
movie cache"?

Re: [hibernate-dev] [infinispan-dev] [HSearch] DSL for Lucene queries (was: Re: Query module new API and configurations)
by Sanne Grinovero
Sure I like it! I'm in the swamp of old mails, so I give you my first
impression only:
Even if it's fluent it's not (yet) intuitive to me which methods I should call;
Query luceneQuery =
qb.must(Occurs.MUST)
.add(
qb.boolean(Occurs.Should)
.add( qb.term("city", "Atlanta").boostedTo(4).createQuery() )
.add( qb.term("address1", "Peachtree").fuzzy().createQuery() )
)
.add(
qb.from("movingDate", "200604").to("201201").exclusive().createQuery()
)
.createQuery();
I guess there is a typo? As "must(MUST)" is a bit confusing to me.
why not
qb.booleanQuery()
.Must( qb.otherQuery(...).. )
.Should( qb.secondQuery(..).. )
.build();
and
qb.termQuery("city", "Atlanta").boostedTo(4).createQuery())
or even overloading
qb.termQuery("city", "Atlanta").createQuery())
with
qb.termQuery("city", "Atlanta", 4f).createQuery())
is not as readable as "boostedTo" method but more immediate;
intelligent IDEs should propose the options to devs while typing, even
guessing the parameter name and making it's meaning self-evident.
qb.rangeQuery could be either
rangeQuery("field", "fromX", "toY")
or
rangeQuery("field").from("x").to("y")
so why are you choosing ("field","from").to("to") ?
Thinking about the RangeQuery on dates, it would be cool to accept any
type for which we have Bridges, like accepting Date type or even a
user-defined FieldBridge together with an Object.
I like the Analyzer choices, it would be very cool if we could by
default guess the correct one from the searched-for entity types.
We could even consider a Query-By-Example query builder, reading
indexed fields from an instance of an indexed type, or something like
HSEARCH-119 proposal (for termvectors similatory).
cheers,
Sanne

Fwd: [Hibernate-JIRA] Updated: (HHH-1803) Allow fetching with criteria when scrolling
by Sanne Grinovero
On Search's forums it appears that many people get hit by this one, I
agree it looks like important so I promised to "scale the question
up".
Kai Hoerder attached a patch recently, could some expert in Core take
a look into? It appears to have a serious impact on the "rebuild
indexes" time for Hibernate Search.
thanks,
Sanne

how to disable the annotation where
by Tiago Mesquita
Hi Guys,
I'm making a soft delete using @SQLDelete and @Where with a flag called
"active"... when active = 1 the object is not deleted, else, the object was
removed and don't come back in the search queries... but i want to bring him
back even active = 0... so maybe i'll have to disable the @Where annotation
programmatically.
Someone know how to make it?
tnx all!!!

Re: [hibernate-dev] Package renaming
by Emmanuel Bernard
Hi
I think it would be slightly better to do the package renaming.
I can't find any downside to it. The diff is too small to be useful to
developers anyway.

Hibernate Search test suite
by Emmanuel Bernard
Hibernate Search test suite used to run in about 2 mins. Now it runs
in a solid 7 minutes. Can we get that number back?
It seems like maven is pausing between tests or something like that.
