Elasticsearch integration reaches the Beta2 milestone

Posted by    |      

Hibernate Search is a library that integrates Hibernate ORM with Apache Lucene or Elasticsearch by automatically indexing entities, enabling advanced search functionality: full-text, geospatial, aggregations and more. For more information, see Hibernate Search on hibernate.org.

This summer was relatively quiet in terms of releases, but many have been testing and improving the Beta1 release of our Hibernate Search / Elasticsearch integration.

So today we release version 5.6.0.Beta2 with 45 fixes and enhancements!

For a detailed list of all improvements, see this JIRA query.

The day of a Final release gets closer, but highly depends on your feedback. Please keep the feedback coming!

Please let us know of any problem or suggestion by creating an issue on JIRA, by sending an email to the developer’s developer’s mailing lists, or posting on the forums.

We also monitor Stack Overflow; when posting on SO please use the tag hibernate-search.

How to get this release

Everything you need is available on Hibernate Search’s web site.

Get it from Maven Central using the following coordinates:

<dependency>
   <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
   <artifactId>hibernate-search-orm</artifactId>
   <version>5.6.0.Beta2</version>
</dependency>

Downloads from Sourceforge are available as well.

Notes on compatibility

This version is compatible with Apache Lucene versions from 5.3.x to 5.5.x, and with Hibernate ORM versions 5.0.x and 5.1.x.

Compatibility with Hibernate ORM 5.2.x is not a reality yet - we expect to see that materialize in early October. Compatibility with Lucene 6.x is scheduled for Hibernate Search 6.0, which will take longer - probably early 2017.

Finally, the version we used of Elasticsearch for all developing and tests of this version was Elasticsearch v. 2.3.1. We will soon upgrade this to the latest version, and discuss strategies to test against multiple versions.
