[ https://hibernate.onjira.com/browse/HSEARCH-1097?page=com.atlassian.jira.... ] Sanne Grinovero commented on HSEARCH-1097: ------------------------------------------ Hi, which APIs in particular? We might test against older API versions, but they are stable. The reason is that newer API are backwards compatible, so compiling and testing against those makes sure the project will work for people using the old version or the new version alike. Regarding "snappy", I agree I'll look into that.. but it's tricky as it is a transitive dependency of Apache Avro, which apparently has decided to ship their final release 1.5.1 using that version. Which means as well that, unless you use Avro, it won't affect you. Avro is used as serialization library with the JMS or JGroups backends. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.

But what is the list of beta versions? I'm only seeing the "snappy" candidate release. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.

[ https://hibernate.onjira.com/browse/HSEARCH-1097?page=com.atlassian.jira.... ] Sanne Grinovero commented on HSEARCH-1097: ------------------------------------------ thanks. Yes I'm aware Hibernate required some changes - that's the point of us having changed the mayor release number. With my statement I meant to specifically address the APIs, as you mentioned them: generally standard APIs when updated include the same interfaces as before, plus some new extensions. So we develop against the older API, unless there is a functional need to support new features (for example, it's using now JPA2 not JPA). You're very welcome to use newer versions of any JMS implementation (for example) to take advantage of the benefits you mentioned. xml-apis is another transitive dependency we don't use nor control directly. Any other jar you want to suggest updates for? -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira

[ https://hibernate.onjira.com/browse/HSEARCH-1097?page=com.atlassian.jira.... ] austin collins commented on HSEARCH-1097: ----------------------------------------- the same is said for Avro 1.6, it has some incompatible API changes from 1.5 1.5.4 uses a later version of snappy. We are not using Avro and there is no reason to change Avro for our benefit. If you think changing Avro, snappy, apis and any other older jars is not required and will not benefit hib search then feel free to close this task. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.

[ https://hibernate.onjira.com/browse/HSEARCH-1097?page=com.atlassian.jira.... ] austin collins commented on HSEARCH-1097: ----------------------------------------- To be honest I did not pay much attention to the other jars and I could not tell you how outdated they are without checking. I only picked up on apis and snappy as I spotted version numbers suggesting they were beta or RC. I am sure there is benefit to updating all the required libs, but then I don't know how important each lib is to HS. You are in a much better position to make judgement on this than I. It has been an interesting ride, thanks ;-) PS. I am very happy with hibernate search 4.1. It has not been an easy upgrade with the changes in Hibernate 4 but there was some good well thought out changes to the API and we are pleased we took the pain and are now the other side. HS is working better than ever before. Looking forward to new version of HS with Lucene 3.6 when available (has improved cache) and updated required libs ;-) -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.

We are currently unable to compile our application under Java 7 but have yet to investigate the cause. Are you aware of any issue in HS with Java 7 and is it a result of lucene, now hopefully fixed.
