[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Commented: (HSEARCH-115) Add a default value for indexing null value

Add a default value for indexing null value ------------------------------------------- Key: HSEARCH-115 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HSEARCH-115 Project: Hibernate Search Issue Type: Improvement Components: mapping Reporter: Julien Brulin Assignee: Hardy Ferentschik Fix For: 3.3.0 Hi, Null elements are not indexed by lucene then it's not easy to use a nullable property in lucene query. I have a TagTranslation entity in my model with a nullable property language. In this case null is used as default language for tag translation. Each translation may have many variations like synonyms. Because I can specified a default value for null value in the @Field annotation like this @Field(index=Index.UN_TOKENIZED, store=Store.NO, default='null'), i can't search a cat tag with a default translation like this : +value:cat* +lang:null {code} @Entity() @Table(name="indexing_tag_trans") @org.hibernate.annotations.Cache(usage=org.hibernate.annotations.CacheConcurrencyStrategy.READ_WRITE) @Indexed public class TagTranslation implements java.io.Serializable { private static final long serialVersionUID = -1065316566731456110L; @Id @GeneratedValue(strategy=GenerationType.IDENTITY) @DocumentId private Integer id; @Field(index=Index.UN_TOKENIZED, store=Store.NO) private String language; @Field(index=Index.TOKENIZED, store=Store.YES) private String value; @OneToMany(cascade=CascadeType.ALL, fetch=FetchType.LAZY) @org.hibernate.annotations.Fetch(org.hibernate.annotations.FetchMode.SUBSELECT) @JoinColumn(name="translation_id") @IndexedEmbedded private List<TagVariation> variations = new LinkedList<TagVariation>(); public TagTranslation() { } ... {code} What do you think about that ? Ps: sorry for english write, i am a french guy.
