We just published Hibernate Search 6.1.0.Alpha1, an alpha release of the next minor version of Hibernate Search.

The main feature of this new version is a new concept of "coordination" to perform automatic indexing in an asynchronous, distributed way.

With more than 900 tickets addressed over the course of 20 alphas and betas, Hibernate Search 6 really is a major release, and it shows.

The most obvious changes: an overhauled API better suited to working with Elasticsearch (but that still works perfectly with embedded Lucene), and upgrades from Lucene 5 to 8 and from Elasticsearch 5.6 to 7.

But it doesn’t stop there: a safer and more concise Search DSL, easier mapping, more powerful bridges, smarter automatic indexing, nested documents, …​
