We might hope for a stable enough contract on Hibernate Search and
hope that we won't break serializability between micro or minor
versions. That will need to be taken into account in the test suite and
design.
On the OGM side though, we are not at that level of maturity and we will
force homogenous Hibernate OGM version across all the cluster. The grid
will have to go down for upgrades or enforce that no mpa reduce job
using OGM is used while the version roll out is in process.

Found an example, this is all the code it needs to have a MassIndexer

Note it's initialize method which injects needed components; the
implementation is serialized across nodes.
