Hibernate Search 6.0.8.Final released

Posted by    |       Hibernate Search Lucene Elasticsearch Releases

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.

We just published a bugfix release for Hibernate Search: 6.0.8.Final.

What’s new

Log4j upgrade

As mentioned here, Hibernate projects do not use Log4j at runtime and thus are not affected by the various vulnerabilities discovered in Log4j 2 recently.

However, Hibernate Search does use Log4j during its own build, when executing tests, which is why we had to update our test dependency to Log4j 2.17.1 anyway.

Incidentally, this might help with some security sniffers that do not correctly understand the difference between runtime dependencies and test dependencies, leading to Hibernate Search being (falsely) reported as affected by the Log4j vulnerabilities.

Other improvements and bug fixes

  • HSEARCH-4423: Hibernate Search will no longer incorrectly detect a cycle and fail to process @IndexingDependency(derivedFrom = …​) when the path to source properties contains two properties with the same name, but on different types. Thanks to fraf for reporting this!

  • HSEARCH-4348: Mapping should now work when the properties are defined inside Groovy Traits. Thanks to Ollie Freeman for his contribution!

  • HSEARCH-4352: Hibernate Search no longer fails on bootstrap when an un-indexed entity has a derived identifier. When an indexed entity has a derived identifier, Hibernate Search produces a more helpful and actionable error message. Thanks to Al Turker for reporting this!

  • HSEARCH-4354: Hibernate Search will no longer retrieve and try to interpret Hibernate ORM metadata for properties that are not involved in indexing. This should reduce the impact of metadata parsing bugs in the future.

  • HSEARCH-4363: Fixed a NullPointerException that occurred from time to time on shutdown.

  • HSEARCH-4391: Fixed images not being displayed in the documentation.

  • HSEARCH-4408: Fixed syntax highlighting for code example not working anymore in the documentation.
