[hibernate-dev] HSearch 5.0

[Emmanuel Bernard]

The biggies that I think should be in 5.0 are:

- free form entity: it opens up a lot of interesting doors closed to us
  at the moment
- bridges providing metadata feedback for better optimizations (like
  which field they store stuff to)

Both have a risk of API breakage hence the idea of working on them
before 5.0.

Multi backend support is probably in that same category but there is no
way we can deliver this one in a realistic timeframe. Not without a pair
of extra hands.
