[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Closed: (HSEARCH-218) add indexAll( Class type ) to rebuild indexes from all data

add indexAll( Class type ) to rebuild indexes from all data ----------------------------------------------------------- Key: HSEARCH-218 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HSEARCH-218 Project: Hibernate Search Issue Type: New Feature Reporter: Sanne Grinovero Assignee: Sanne Grinovero Fix For: 3.2.0 The implementation should be as efficient as possible, to cover this scenarios: * Developers change an entity and want to test the effect on the index structure, they want do to search experiments with the new fields. * A production system is up(down)graded to a new(old) release, involving index changes. (the system is "down for maintenance" but the speed is crucial) * Existing index is corrupted/lost. (Again, speed to recover is critical) * A Database backup is restored, or data is changed by other jobs. * Some crazy developer like me prefers to disable H.Search's event listeners for some reason. (I wouldn't generally recommend it, but have met other people who have a reasonable argument to do this) * A Lucene update breaks the index format (not so irrationale as they just did on trunk).
