[hibernate-dev] Search: Infinispan to support Lucene 4

[Sanne Grinovero]

Via some volunteers the works are starting to support Apache Lucene 4
in the Infinispan project,
basically to get the same functionality as we have today: to store the
indexes in Infinispan.
(So a requirement to upgrade Hibernate Search)

The Directory API changed a bit, and we might also decide that
Directory isn't the right abstraction layer anymore: there are more
options, like the new Coded API.
To tell the details we need some POC first, but it's clear already
that whatever we do we can't also keep compatibility with Lucene 3.x.

Still I want to keep the Lucene 3 Infinispan Directory, at least for a
while. Do we agree on that?

Maven-wise, the current module is identified as:

org.infinispan:infinispan-lucene-directory

I plan to have both modules to live in the Infinispan project,
independent. Suggestions to label / identify these modules?
