Yoann Rodière ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?accountId=557058%... ) *commented* on HSEARCH-4815 ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HSEARCH-4815?atlOrigin=eyJpIjoiMzE... ) Re: Provide a user with a meaningful error when Fast Vector Highlighter is used on a field without term vectors ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HSEARCH-4815?atlOrigin=eyJpIjoiMzE... ) In theory you should be able to expose such information through the context passed to e.g. ElasticsearchSearchProjection#request , because we have access to the scope in the implementation of the root context: org.hibernate.search.backend.elasticsearch.search.query.impl.ElasticsearchSearchQueryRequestContext#scope. Now the question is how to do this cleanly 🙂 ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HSEARCH-4815#add-comment?atlOrigin... ) Add Comment ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HSEARCH-4815#add-comment?atlOrigin... ) Get Jira notifications on your phone!
