Yoann Rodière ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?accountId=557058%... ) *closed* an issue as *Out of Date* Nowadays, Infinispan has access to the filter describing paths that are relevant for indexing ( org.hibernate.search.mapper.pojo.mapping.building.spi.PojoTypeExtendedMappingCollector#dirtyFilter ). So, assuming Infinispan is able to compare the before/after value and build a list of changed paths, it can just call boolean needsReindexing = dirtyFilter.filter(paths) != null;. Infinispan is actually in a much better position to do that kind of diff, so I think it makes more sense to do it that way. Closing.
