Hibernate Search roadmap
Hibernate Search roadmap
Hibernate Search is community driven and as such the roadmap constantly evolves to reflect the users needs. You can find a finer grained roadmap in our issue tracker but this page is a good and concise view of where we are going. Dates are generally omitted: while milestones are released regularly, the Final release is tagged when it’s stable.
Hibernate Search 4.5
Backward compatible with the 4.x series but prepare for the 5.0 enhancements. Developed in parallel with 5.0.
- Hibernate ORM 4.3 / JPA 2.1 / Java EE 7
-
Provides compatibility with Hibernate ORM 4.3.
- Infinispan 6.0
-
Migration to Infinispan 6.x for index storage.
- WildFly 8
-
Continuous integration tests to target WildFly 8 and provide appropriate modules.
- New quickstart and demo
-
Quickstarts and demos for JBoss Developer Framework.
- Performance regression tests
-
Add more and better performance regression tests.
Hibernate Search 5.0
Based on Apache Lucene version 4, which will lead to some compatibility breaks over the Hibernate Search 4.x series.
- Apache Lucene 4.x
-
Move to Apache Lucene 4.x. This is a significant departure and is the cause of most compatibility breaks. Speed and feature improvements will flow from this migration.
- Dynamic type indexing
-
Rather than focusing on statically annotated entities we’ll also provide more flexible "schema" definitions.
- Uncommitted changes in a transaction
-
Expose uncommitted changes to queries run in the current transaction.
- Classloader SPI
-
Explicit classloader SPI for better EAP integration as modules.
- API / SPI for alternative backends
-
Define API / SPI abstraction to allow for future external backends integrations such as Apache Solr and Elastic Search.
- Asynchronous FieldBridge
-
ex. improved integration with Apache Tika.
Hibernate Search 5.1
- CDI integration
-
Offer a portable extension to help integrate in CDI.
- Better clustering
-
Solid Infinispan and JGroups integration, ease of setup.
- Jandex
-
Use Jandex for annotation scanning for faster boot in both JavaSE and in WildFly.
- High performance backend queues
-
Low contention non blocking queues.
- Automated performance regression tests
-
'nuf said.
- New Faceting engine
-
Apache Lucene 4 based faceting engine for better performance.
- Auto suggestion and spell checking
-
Simplify work for users building auto suggestions and spell checking features.
Hibernate Search 5.2
- Pre-analysis of text in the transaction context
-
Better remoting/clustering & scalability.
- Hibernate ORM 5.x / JPA 2.1 / Java EE 7
-
Provides compatibility with Hibernate ORM 5.0. Might need to be pushed earlier to match Hibernate ORM 5 plans.
