[hibernate-dev] Hibernate Search 5: heavy refactoring in progress!

Hi all, I'm heavily committing on my Lucene 4 branch. It doesn't compile yet, and many commits are "temporary scaffolding" designed to be removed at further rebase phases, so I'm NOT advising to fork it unless you want to have a look. Comments are very welcome of course :-) Also, I'm trying to iterate on previous changes while my knowledge in the new Lucene internals improves, so I'm reviewing and rewriting my history several times each day. This is my current strategy: I'm favoring quick and simple changes - when possible - to get it all to a phase in which it can compile successfully. I need it quick so to minimize the time - in which I don't have tests feedback - in which collaboration with other volunteers is harder Therefore I'm adding quite some TODO and FIXME notes, rather than opening JIRAs: my plan is to resolve all TODOs before my branch is in decent enough shape for a pull request, or for those tasks that conflict with the "minimal time" requirement will be converted in JIRAs. Among other significant changes in Lucene4, many packages have been renamed. For these, I'm crafting the patches as a form of living document of required changes, that could be helpfull for compiling a migration guide for our users; see for example the commit comment at: https://github.com/Sanne/hibernate-search/commit/036539ad432f24e47128d0a6... I'm primarily working on the -engine module, so that as soon as this one is looking good enough we can parallelize refactoring on dependent modules. Note that Infinispan 6.0 already supports Lucene 4, so getting "engine" converted is the only dependency to unlock work on all other modules. https://github.com/Sanne/hibernate-search/compare/evolveLucene4 - Sanne
