[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Commented: (HSEARCH-642) Support for only manual indexing of particular entity types

Support for only manual indexing of particular entity types ----------------------------------------------------------- Key: HSEARCH-642 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HSEARCH-642 Project: Hibernate Search Issue Type: Improvement Components: engine Affects Versions: 3.2.1 Reporter: Kyrill Alyoshin I have an interesting use case. Basically I have to find internal duplicates (in full text search terms) among a bunch of entities of a particular type. The most elegant way to do it, would be: 1. Not to index those entities when they are saved (the problem is that only a minority of entities need to be de-duped). 2. Before de-duping process starts, manually index those particular entities. 3. De-dupe them using Lucene's capabilities. 4. Purge those entities from the index. Is it possible to mark a particular entity to be indexed only manually? hibernate.search.indexing_strategy = manual seems to be a global configuration. Can it be applied somehow on a per entity basis? If not, I think this is a valuable RFE.
