Hibernate Search 6.2.0.CR1 released

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.

We just published Hibernate Search 6.2.0.CR1, a candidate release of the next minor version of Hibernate Search.

This release brings in particular a new excludePaths filter for @IndexedEmbedded, and includePaths/includeDepth/excludePaths filters for @ObjectProjection.

6.2.0.CR1 also includes compatibility with OpenSearch 2.8, an upgrade to Hibernate ORM 5.6.15.Final, an upgrade of -orm6 artifacts to Hibernate ORM 6.2.5.Final, and other bugfixes and improvements.

What’s new

For a summary of all new features and improvements since 6.1, head to the dedicated page on hibernate.org.

Dependency upgrades

Hibernate ORM (HSEARCH-4880/HSEARCH-4875/HSEARCH-4869)

Hibernate Search now depends on Hibernate ORM 5.6.15.Final for its main artifacts, and 6.2.5.Final for -orm6 artifacts. Hibernate ORM 6.0 and 6.1 are no longer considered compatible.

Elasticsearch (HSEARCH-4857)

The Elasticsearch backend now works with Elasticsearch 8.8 as well as other versions that were already compatible.

OpenSearch (HSEARCH-4870)

The Elasticsearch backend now works with OpenSearch 2.8 as well as other versions that were already compatible.

Others

@IndexedEmbedded(excludePaths = …​)

With HSEARCH-1182, the @IndexedEmbedded annotation now exposes an excludePaths attribute, allowing the inclusion of all paths with only a few selectively excluded, as opposed to the previous approach of selectively including paths with includePaths.

See this section of the reference documentation for more information.

@ObjectProjection(includeDepth = …​)/@ObjectProjection(includePaths = …​)/@ObjectProjection(excludePaths = …​)

With HSEARCH-4725, the @ObjectProjection annotation now exposes an includeDepth/includePaths/excludePaths attributes, which allows in particular breaking cycles of nested object projections.

See this section of the reference documentation for more information.

Other improvements and bug fixes

  • HSEARCH-4616: For clarity, "automatic indexing" was renamed to something more explicit throughout Hibernate Search and its documentation. As a result:

    • hibernate.search.automatic_indexing.enabled is now deprecated in favor of hibernate.search.indexing.listeners.enabled

    • hibernate.search.automatic_indexing.synchronization.strategy is now deprecated in favor of hibernate.search.indexing.plan.synchronization.strategy

  • HSEARCH-4866: hibernate.search.automatic_indexing.enable_dirty_check is now deprecated with no alternative to replace it. In future versions, a dirty check will always be performed when considering whether to trigger reindexing.

  • HSEARCH-4877: (Infinispan) Provided identifier bridges are now applied in the Search DSL and id projections.

And more. For a full list of changes since the previous releases, please see the release notes.
