Search default properties are ignored when at least one shard property exist ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: HIBERNATE-103 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/HIBERNATE-103 Project: Hibernate Integration Issue Type: Bug Reporter: Rafal Glowacz Assignee: Steve Ebersole I'm trying to use shared strategy for search. So my basic setup was: common.hibernate.search.default.indexBase = /lucene/index common.hibernate.search.default.optimizer.operation_limit.max = 1000 common.hibernate.search.default.optimizer.transaction_limit.max = 1000 common.hibernate.search.default.directory_provider = org.hibernate.search.store.FSDirectoryProvider common.hibernate.search.default.sharding_strategy = com.newbay.search.sharding.strategy.IdShardingStrategy common.hibernate.search.blogentry.sharding_strategy.nbr_of_shards = 5 But this won't work for me because when sharding configuration properties exist then those default ones are completely ignored - I can't understand that. To change this I changed ".default." to ".blogentry." and then I found the bug that the number of properties decides how many shards I want for current index. (nbrOfShards = nbrOfShards >= indexSpecificDefaultProps.size() ? nbrOfShards : indexSpecificDefaultProps.size();) So in this case I can't do anything. I'm looking for such config: common.hibernate.search.default.indexBase = /lucene/index common.hibernate.search.default.optimizer.operation_limit.max = 1000 common.hibernate.search.default.optimizer.transaction_limit.max = 1000 common.hibernate.search.default.directory_provider = org.hibernate.search.store.FSDirectoryProvider common.hibernate.search.default.sharding_strategy = com.newbay.search.sharding.strategy.IdShardingStrategy common.hibernate.search.website.sharding_strategy.nbr_of_shards = 2 common.hibernate.search.website.indexBase = /lucene/website common.hibernate.search.blogentry.sharding_strategy.nbr_of_shards = 5 common.hibernate.search.blogentry.indexBase = /lucene/blogentry But it doesn't work for now.
