[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Commented: (HSEARCH-471) Ability to selectively index an entity based on its state

Sanne Grinovero commented on HSEARCH-471:
-----------------------------------------

I would expect the actionInterceptor to be applied on subtypes, but am having no clean idea on how to avoid demanding this repetition, unless we make the option mandatory or split it to a different annotation.

I still remember that I was initially surprised that @Indexed was not inherited.

Could we add an option to have the "indexing feature" inherited, with the same options?

Then you could have
{code}
@Indexed(inherited=true, actionInterceptor=NotIndexAction.class) //default to NOT index, neither this type nor subtypes
@Indexed(inherited=false, actionInterceptor=DefaultIndexedAction.class) //current behaviour, with both options at it's default{code}

What I don't like is that if I extend a type annotated with Indexed and change for example the index name only, it would be confusing to guess which action is expected: the inherited one or the one defined here? of course the default one, as annotations won't allow us to understand if a value was defined explicitly or not.

> In our system we have entities that are searched but not all of them are available for search - some of them are flagged as "removed".  It would improve the efficiency of our search subsystem if we could implement a kind of "filter" that blocked these entities from being added to the search index, since we wouldn't have to make that a search term and our indexes would be somewhat smaller.
