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.

Hibernate Search 3.0.0.CR1 is now out. This release is mainly the last bits of new features and polishing before the final version. The next cycle will be dedicated to bug fixes (of any bug that pops up), as well as test suite and documentation improvements.

Thanks to Hardy for the new getting started guide (this should ease the path for newcomers), and to John for hammering the last features we wanted in the GA version:

  • /manual indexing/ you can disable event based indexing: useful when the
  • /purge/ you can remove an entity from the index without affecting the database. This is especially useful if you take care of the indexing manually (using a timestamp method for example)

The next version should be the GA release unless some complex bugs are discovered.

Check the changelogs for a detailed change list.
