Hi, Is there any tentative idea on Hibernate Search 5.0 will come out? It just feels like progress is extremely slow and when I look at JIRA I keep seeing issues being added and fixed that seem extremely contextual (WildFly, improve errorHandler, etc) and nothing to do with the ambition to deliver the cool new features of Lucene 4 to the masses. I mean, I'm extremely anxious to work with Lucene 4 like forever, because it brings so much to the table and it will be great to have that power at your fingertips, but of course, it would be even greater if that power is brought to the Hibernate Search API. Cheers, Marc _______________________________________________ hibernate-dev mailing list hibernate-dev(a)lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/hibernate-dev

Hi Sanne, Thanks for that extensive reply. > > Considering holidays & similar, we should be fully focused on Search > again next week and first goal is of course to challenge the roadmap > and see what can be cut to speedup a 5.0.0.Final release..

However, I've been having some delays of my own and I will need to upgrade a bunch of related dependencies in order to move to 5.0 which is a project in itself. It's high on my list but the marketing people are also breathing down my neck for end user features. You know how it is. > We're all agreeing that we should rather move some issues out from the > plan and release early; having said that, which features of Lucene 4 > would you love to see exposed on the API? I personally really like the Grouping and QueryTimeJoin functionalities and am using them to great effect through the Lucene API. Also, I'm looking forward to implementing some of the new suggest / autocomplete analyzers, but that would prob not need any API changes. I think on the analyzer front, things look really interesting with 4.x. Other than that, just very interested in general to experience the numerous performance improvements that have been made. Cheers, Marc

Another thing I forgot to mention is that I'm hoping that I will be able to dump Bobo Browse in favor of Hibernate Search faceting. Currently, HSearch is too limited still in this respect and I hope this will change with the new features of Lucene in this area.

The biggies that I think should be in 5.0 are: - free form entity: it opens up a lot of interesting doors closed to us at the moment - bridges providing metadata feedback for better optimizations (like which field they store stuff to) Both have a risk of API breakage hence the idea of working on them before 5.0. Multi backend support is probably in that same category but there is no way we can deliver this one in a realistic timeframe. Not without a pair of extra hands.
