Yoann Rodière ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?accountId=557058%... ) *updated* an issue Hibernate Search ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HSEARCH?atlOrigin=eyJpIjoiNWM2NjRk... ) / Improvement ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HSEARCH-3950?atlOrigin=eyJpIjoiNWM... ) HSEARCH-3950 ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HSEARCH-3950?atlOrigin=eyJpIjoiNWM... ) Simpler configuration syntax for single-backend applications ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HSEARCH-3950?atlOrigin=eyJpIjoiNWM... ) Change By: Yoann Rodière ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?accountId=557058%... ) Currently, a single-backend application will need to do this: {noformat} hibernate.search.default_backend = myBackend hibernate.search.backends.myBackend.foo = ... hibernate.search.backends.myBackend.bar = ... hibernate.search.backends.myBackend.foobar = ... {noformat} We could simplify it to this: {noformat} hibernate.search.backend.foo = ... hibernate.search.backend.bar = ... hibernate.search.backend.foobar = ... {noformat} This would be consistent with how [datasources|https://quarkus.io/guides/datasource] are configured in Quarkus, but unfortunately not with how [Hibernate Search backends|https://quarkus.io/guides/hibernate-search-elasticsearch] are configured in Quarkus. A few details: * We would have to give a name to this default backend. {{default}}, maybe? In that case we should forbid the use of that name for named backends. * Existing applications relying on default_backend should continue to work, but maybe we should deprecate this configuration property. People who really need to define the default backend at deployment time can use the programmatic mapping. * We should still allow the definition of named backends, but they will only be used when explicitly referenced. * We should use the default backend wherever possible in tests and documentation, and add separate tests and documention for named backends. * In examples for setting configuration properties, we should *only* include an example for the default backend. We'll just mention in the section about named backends how the prefix changes for those.
