Re: [hibernate-dev] Hibernate Search Question

Hi Christian, I think the main reason has been the lack of interest, and the additional difficulties such an integration would bring in terms of proper testing and maintenance. There are some performance and efficiency tricks we can take advantage of, but I don't remember of many on the top of my head; I guess one might have to live with a slower MassIndexer but that's likely not a showstopper as long as such a decision would be optional. There are also historical reasons: Hibernate Search was created before JPA2, hence no criteria API was available at the time, while Hibernate already had it. Since the dependencies to Hibernate ORM are now isolated in a single module I think it might be an interesting exercise to do if you're interested in it, but I'm not sure if we can commit to actually maintain integration tests with other implementations and willing tot chase other implementors for bugfixes and other needed changes. I'm not saying "no way", but there must be some better reason to do it than the coolness of showcasing that it can be done; so it all boils down to the tricky question: why would anyone want to use a different implementation ? :P Cheers, Sanne On 29 May 2012 18:33, Christian Beikov <christian.beikov(a)gmail.com&gt; wrote:
