[hibernate-dev] moving Hibernate Search to Lucene 2.9

[Sanne Grinovero]

Hi all,
I'm trying to migrate Hibernate Search to Lucene 2.9;
As you might now the COMPRESS store option is not supported in 3.0
so I had created "HSEARCH-425 Remove support for compressed fields
(support removed in Lucene3)"

but looking better I see now that javadocs state:

[...]
     * the new way to achieve this is: First add the field
indexed-only (no store)
     * and additionally using the same field name as a binary, stored field
     * with {@link CompressionTools#compressString}.

So I was wrong as we actually have two options:
1) drop support deprecating the COMPRESS enum value
2) implement the new strategy as suggested by Lucene's developers

I'm assuming you all would agree on 2) ?
If so I'll rename HSEARCH-425 to "Reimplement support for compressed
fields in Lucene3"

Cheers,
Sanne
