In Relation To

Hibernate Search 4.3.0.Beta1 is now available both in Maven repositories and from Sourceforge.

The Hibernate Search 4.3 iteration reached its first milestone: version 4.3.0.Alpha1 is now available for download from Sourceforge.net and Maven repositories.

Past week I returned from my trip to Bengaluru, where we had one of our great developers conferences.

Hibernate Search 4.2.0.Final is ready for download; grab the distribution from Sourceforge or use the Maven artifacts.

Hibernate Search v.4.2.0.CR1 has just been released. Mostly bug fixes and performance improvements but also an easier way to deploy in JBoss AS 7 or JBoss EAP 6.

The latest Hibernate Search beta v. 4.2.0.Beta2 is available!

Inspired by these questions on the Search forum and stackoverflow I decided to blog about different solutions for the problem using only the tools available in Search right now (4.1.1.Final). But let's start with the problem.

A bugfix release for Hibernate Search 4.1 ! Some of you have been reporting reduced performance after migrating from 3.4 or 4.0, which was not expected at all as the internals got smarter at each release. It turns out there was a quite critical bug: file handle leaks.
