-----------------------------------------

Hi Chris,
I could help you to contribute a patch if you really need it. (Did you checkout the alternative mass indexing strategy?)

It would be quite easy to backport the patch I originally contributed as HSEARCH-218, because this was done just after 3.1.x so before the upgrade to newer Hibernate APIs; but if you take that patch, you'll likely want also all subsequent fixes; you can easily find them as they all mention "MassIndexer" in the title. (only HSEARCH-218 was not using this name yet). So it might be easier to just move in the package from the latest snapshot and fix the very little changes you'll need to get it going with the older Hibernate Core.

I don't really understand why you can't upgrade Hibernate core in your app, JPA2 is backwards compatible; we could discuss that. Regarding customers, AFAIK they can pretty much ask for this kind of services.

>          Issue Type: Task
>          Components: massindexer
>    Affects Versions: 3.1.1.GA
>         Environment: Hibernate 3.3.X and any jboss server platform prior to 6.0.

> Anyone using a non JPA2 version of hibernate is unable to utilize the capabilities of the MassIndexer introduced in version 3.2 of search.  At a cursory glance I can not determine a dependency of the new indexer on JPA2.
> It would be very beneficial to make this available as utilizing hibernate search on existing application and manually indexing is obviously difficult with this new massindexer.
> Also anyone who chooses to use a supported version of jboss is excluded from this functionality until most likely 2012.
> If this is not possible i would appreciate an explanation of the dependencies the massindexer has on search 3.2.
