Changes in runtime behavior
|
|
|
|
API Changes
|
|
|
|
1. LUCENE-793: created new exceptions and added them to throws clause
|
|
for many methods (all subclasses of IOException for backwards
|
|
compatibility): index.StaleReaderException,
|
|
index.CorruptIndexException, store.LockObtainFailedException.
|
|
This was done to better call out the possible root causes of an
|
|
IOException from these methods. (Mike McCandless)
|
|
|
|
2. LUCENE-811: make SegmentInfos class, plus a few methods from related
|
|
classes, package-private again (they were unnecessarily made public
|
|
as part of LUCENE-701). (Mike McCandless)
|
|
|
|
3. LUCENE-710: added optional autoCommit boolean to IndexWriter
|
|
constructors. When this is false, index changes are not committed
|
|
until the writer is closed. This gives explicit control over when
|
|
a reader will see the changes. Also added optional custom
|
|
deletion policy to explicitly control when prior commits are
|
|
removed from the index. This is intended to allow applications to
|
|
share an index over NFS by customizing when prior commits are
|
|
deleted. (Mike McCandless)
|
|
|
|
4. LUCENE-818: changed most public methods of IndexWriter,
|
|
IndexReader (and its subclasses), FieldsReader and RAMDirectory to
|
|
throw AlreadyClosedException if they are accessed after being
|
|
closed. (Mike McCandless)
|
|
|
|
5. LUCENE-834: Changed some access levels for certain Span classes to allow them to be overridden. They have
|
|
been marked expert only and not for public consumption. (Grant Ingersoll)
|
|
|
|
Bug fixes
|
|
|
|
1. LUCENE-804: Fixed build.xml to pack a fully compilable src dist. (Doron Cohen)
|
|
|
|
2. LUCENE-813: Leading wildcard fixed to work with trailing wildcard.
|
|
Query parser modified to create a prefix query only for the case
|
|
that there is a single trailing wildcard (and no additional wildcard
|
|
or '?' in the query text). (Doron Cohen)
|
|
|
|
3. LUCENE-812: Add no-argument constructors to NativeFSLockFactory
|
|
and SimpleFSLockFactory. This enables all 4 builtin LockFactory
|
|
implementations to be specified via the System property
|
|
org.apache.lucene.store.FSDirectoryLockFactoryClass. (Mike McCandless)
|
|
|
|
4. LUCENE-821: The new single-norm-file introduded by LUCENE-756
|
|
failed to reduce the number of open descriptors since it was still
|
|
opened once per field with norms. (yonik)
|
|
|
|
5. LUCENE-823: Make sure internal file handles are closed when
|
|
hitting an exception (eg disk full) while flushing deletes in
|
|
IndexWriter's mergeSegments, and also during
|
|
IndexWriter.addIndexes. (Mike McCandless)
|
|
|
|
6. LUCENE-825: If directory is removed after
|
|
FSDirectory.getDirectory() but before IndexReader.open you now get
|
|
a FileNotFoundException like Lucene pre-2.1 (before this fix you
|
|
got an NPE). (Mike McCandless)
|
|
|
|
7. LUCENE-800: Removed backslash from the TERM_CHAR list in the queryparser,
|
|
because the backslash is the escape character. Also changed the ESCAPED_CHAR
|
|
list to contain all possible characters, because every character that
|
|
follows a backslash should be considered as escaped. (Michael Busch)
|
|
|
|
8. LUCENE-372: QueryParser.parse() now ensures that the entire input string
|
|
is consumed. Now a ParseException is thrown if a query contains too many
|
|
closing parentheses. (Andreas Neumann via Michael Busch)
|
|
|
|
9. LUCENE-814: javacc build targets now fix line-end-style of generated files.
|
|
Now also deleting all javacc generated files before calling javacc.
|
|
(Steven Parkes, Doron Cohen)
|
|
|
|
10. LUCENE-829: close readers in contrib/benchmark. (Karl Wettin, Doron Cohen)
|
|
|
|
11. LUCENE-828: Minor fix for Term's equal().
|
|
(Paul Cowan via Otis Gospodnetic)
|
|
|
|
12. LUCENE-846: Fixed: if IndexWriter is opened with autoCommit=false,
|
|
and you call addIndexes, and hit an exception (eg disk full) then
|
|
when IndexWriter rolls back its internal state this could corrupt
|
|
the instance of IndexWriter (but, not the index itself) by
|
|
referencing already deleted segments. This bug was only present
|
|
in 2.2 (trunk), ie was never released. (Mike McCandless)
|
|
|
|
New features
|
|
|
|
1. LUCENE-759: Added two n-gram-producing TokenFilters.
|
|
(Otis Gospodnetic)
|
|
|
|
2. LUCENE-822: Added FieldSelector capabilities to Searchable for use with RemoteSearcher, and other Searchable implementations. (Mark Miller, Grant Ingersoll)
|
|
|
|
3. LUCENE-755: Added the ability to store arbitrary binary metadata in the posting list.
|
|
These metadata are called Payloads. For every position of a Token one Payload in the form
|
|
of a variable length byte array can be stored in the prox file.
|
|
Remark: The APIs introduced with this feature are in experimental state and thus
|
|
contain appropriate warnings in the javadocs.
|
|
(Michael Busch)
|
|
|
|
4. LUCENE-834: Added BoostingTermQuery which can boost scores based on the values of a payload (see #3 above.) (Grant Ingersoll)
|
|
5. LUCENE-834: Similarity has a new method for scoring payloads called scorePayloads that can be overridden to take advantage
|
|
of payload storage (see #3 above)
|
|
6. LUCENE-834: Added isPayloadAvailable() onto TermPositions interface and implemented it in the appropriate places (Grant Ingersoll)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Optimizations
|
|
|
|
1. LUCENE-761: The proxStream is now cloned lazily in SegmentTermPositions
|
|
when nextPosition() is called for the first time. This allows using instances
|
|
of SegmentTermPositions instead of SegmentTermDocs without additional costs.
|
|
(Michael Busch)
|
|
|
|
Documentation:
|
|
1. LUCENE 791 && INFRA-1173: Infrastructure moved the Wiki to http://wiki.apache.org/lucene-java/ Updated the links in the docs and wherever else I found references. (Grant Ingersoll, Joe Schaefer)
|
|
|
|
2. Fixed the javadoc for ScoreDocComparator.compare() to be consistent with
|
|
java.util.Comparator.compare(): Any integer is allowed to be returned
|
|
instead of only -1/0/1.
|
|
(Paul Cowan via Michael Busch)
|
|
|
|
======================= Release 2.1.0 2007-02-14 =======================
|
|
|
|
Changes in runtime behavior
|
|
|
|
1. 's' and 't' have been removed from the list of default stopwords
|
|
in StopAnalyzer (also used in by StandardAnalyzer). Having e.g. 's'
|
|
as a stopword meant that 's-class' led to the same results as 'class'.
|
|
Note that this problem still exists for 'a', e.g. in 'a-class' as
|
|
'a' continues to be a stopword.
|
|
(Daniel Naber)
|
|
|
|
2. LUCENE-478: Updated the list of Unicode code point ranges for CJK
|
|
(now split into CJ and K) in StandardAnalyzer. (John Wang and
|
|
Steven Rowe via Otis Gospodnetic)
|
|
|
|
3. Modified some CJK Unicode code point ranges in StandardTokenizer.jj,
|
|
and added a few more of them to increase CJK character coverage.
|
|
Also documented some of the ranges.
|
|
(Otis Gospodnetic)
|
|
|
|
4. LUCENE-489: Add support for leading wildcard characters (*, ?) to
|
|
QueryParser. Default is to disallow them, as before.
|
|
(Steven Parkes via Otis Gospodnetic)
|
|
|
|
5. LUCENE-703: QueryParser changed to default to use of ConstantScoreRangeQuery
|
|
for range queries. Added useOldRangeQuery property to QueryParser to allow
|
|
selection of old RangeQuery class if required.
|
|
(Mark Harwood)
|
|
|
|
6. LUCENE-543: WildcardQuery now performs a TermQuery if the provided term
|
|
does not contain a wildcard character (? or *), when previously a
|
|
StringIndexOutOfBoundsException was thrown.
|
|
(Michael Busch via Erik Hatcher)
|
|
|
|
7. LUCENE-726: Removed the use of deprecated doc.fields() method and
|
|
Enumeration.
|
|
(Michael Busch via Otis Gospodnetic)
|
|
|
|
8. LUCENE-436: Removed finalize() in TermInfosReader and SegmentReader,
|
|
and added a call to enumerators.remove() in TermInfosReader.close().
|
|
The finalize() overrides were added to help with a pre-1.4.2 JVM bug
|
|
that has since been fixed, plus we no longer support pre-1.4.2 JVMs.
|
|
(Otis Gospodnetic)
|
|
|
|
9. LUCENE-771: The default location of the write lock is now the
|
|
index directory, and is named simply "write.lock" (without a big
|
|
digest prefix). The system properties "org.apache.lucene.lockDir"
|
|
nor "java.io.tmpdir" are no longer used as the global directory
|
|
for storing lock files, and the LOCK_DIR field of FSDirectory is
|
|
now deprecated. (Mike McCandless)
|
|
|
|
New features
|
|
|
|
1. LUCENE-503: New ThaiAnalyzer and ThaiWordFilter in contrib/analyzers
|
|
(Samphan Raruenrom via Chris Hostetter)
|
|
|
|
2. LUCENE-545: New FieldSelector API and associated changes to
|
|
IndexReader and implementations. New Fieldable interface for use
|
|
with the lazy field loading mechanism. (Grant Ingersoll and Chuck
|
|
Williams via Grant Ingersoll)
|
|
|
|
3. LUCENE-676: Move Solr's PrefixFilter to Lucene core. (Yura
|
|
Smolsky, Yonik Seeley)
|
|
|
|
4. LUCENE-678: Added NativeFSLockFactory, which implements locking
|
|
using OS native locking (via java.nio.*). (Michael McCandless via
|
|
Yonik Seeley)
|
|
|
|
5. LUCENE-544: Added the ability to specify different boosts for
|
|
different fields when using MultiFieldQueryParser (Matt Ericson
|
|
via Otis Gospodnetic)
|
|
|
|
6. LUCENE-528: New IndexWriter.addIndexesNoOptimize() that doesn't
|
|
optimize the index when adding new segments, only performing
|
|
merges as needed. (Ning Li via Yonik Seeley)
|
|
|
|
7. LUCENE-573: QueryParser now allows backslash escaping in
|
|
quoted terms and phrases. (Michael Busch via Yonik Seeley)
|
|
|
|
8. LUCENE-716: QueryParser now allows specification of unicode
|
|
characters in terms via a unicode escape of the form \uXXXX
|
|
(Michael Busch via Yonik Seeley)
|
|
|
|
9. LUCENE-709: Added RAMDirectory.sizeInBytes(), IndexWriter.ramSizeInBytes()
|
|
and IndexWriter.flushRamSegments(), allowing applications to
|
|
control the amount of memory used to buffer documents.
|
|
(Chuck Williams via Yonik Seeley)
|
|
|
|
10. LUCENE-723: QueryParser now parses *:* as MatchAllDocsQuery
|
|
(Yonik Seeley)
|
|
|
|
11. LUCENE-741: Command-line utility for modifying or removing norms
|
|
on fields in an existing index. This is mostly based on LUCENE-496
|
|
and lives in contrib/miscellaneous.
|
|
(Chris Hostetter, Otis Gospodnetic)
|
|
|
|
12. LUCENE-759: Added NGramTokenizer and EdgeNGramTokenizer classes and
|
|
their passing unit tests.
|
|
(Otis Gospodnetic)
|
|
|
|
13. LUCENE-565: Added methods to IndexWriter to more efficiently
|
|
handle updating documents (the "delete then add" use case). This
|
|
is intended to be an eventual replacement for the existing
|
|
IndexModifier. Added IndexWriter.flush() (renamed from
|
|
flushRamSegments()) to flush all pending updates (held in RAM), to
|
|
the Directory. (Ning Li via Mike McCandless)
|
|
|
|
14. LUCENE-762: Added in SIZE and SIZE_AND_BREAK FieldSelectorResult options
|
|
which allow one to retrieve the size of a field without retrieving the actual field.
|
|
(Chuck Williams via Grant Ingersoll)
|
|
|
|
15. LUCENE-799: Properly handle lazy, compressed fields. (Mike Klaas via Grant Ingersoll)
|
|
|
|
API Changes
|
|
|
|
1. LUCENE-438: Remove "final" from Token, implement Cloneable, allow
|
|
changing of termText via setTermText(). (Yonik Seeley)
|
|
|
|
2. org.apache.lucene.analysis.nl.WordlistLoader has been deprecated
|
|
and is supposed to be replaced with the WordlistLoader class in
|
|
package org.apache.lucene.analysis (Daniel Naber)
|
|
|
|
3. LUCENE-609: Revert return type of Document.getField(s) to Field
|
|
for backward compatibility, added new Document.getFieldable(s)
|
|
for access to new lazy loaded fields. (Yonik Seeley)
|
|
|
|
4. LUCENE-608: Document.fields() has been deprecated and a new method
|
|
Document.getFields() has been added that returns a List instead of
|
|
an Enumeration (Daniel Naber)
|
|
|
|
5. LUCENE-605: New Explanation.isMatch() method and new ComplexExplanation
|
|
subclass allows explain methods to produce Explanations which model
|
|
"matching" independent of having a positive value.
|
|
(Chris Hostetter)
|
|
|
|
6. LUCENE-621: New static methods IndexWriter.setDefaultWriteLockTimeout
|
|
and IndexWriter.setDefaultCommitLockTimeout for overriding default
|
|
timeout values for all future instances of IndexWriter (as well
|
|
as for any other classes that may refrence the static values,
|
|
ie: IndexReader).
|
|
(Michael McCandless via Chris Hostetter)
|
|
|
|
7. LUCENE-638: FSDirectory.list() now only returns the directory's
|
|
Lucene-related files. Thanks to this change one can now construct
|
|
a RAMDirectory from a file system directory that contains files
|
|
not related to Lucene.
|
|
(Simon Willnauer via Daniel Naber)
|
|
|
|
8. LUCENE-635: Decoupling locking implementation from Directory
|
|
implementation. Added set/getLockFactory to Directory and moved
|
|
all locking code into subclasses of abstract class LockFactory.
|
|
FSDirectory and RAMDirectory still default to their prior locking
|
|
implementations, but now you can mix & match, for example using
|
|
SingleInstanceLockFactory (ie, in memory locking) locking with an
|
|
FSDirectory. Note that now you must call setDisableLocks before
|
|
the instantiation a FSDirectory if you wish to disable locking
|
|
for that Directory.
|
|
(Michael McCandless, Jeff Patterson via Yonik Seeley)
|
|
|
|
9. LUCENE-657: Made FuzzyQuery non-final and inner ScoreTerm protected.
|
|
(Steven Parkes via Otis Gospodnetic)
|
|
|
|
10. LUCENE-701: Lockless commits: a commit lock is no longer required
|
|
when a writer commits and a reader opens the index. This includes
|
|
a change to the index file format (see docs/fileformats.html for
|
|
details). It also removes all APIs associated with the commit
|
|
lock & its timeout. Readers are now truly read-only and do not
|
|
block one another on startup. This is the first step to getting
|
|
Lucene to work correctly over NFS (second step is
|
|
LUCENE-710). (Mike McCandless)
|
|
|
|
11. LUCENE-722: DEFAULT_MIN_DOC_FREQ was misspelled DEFALT_MIN_DOC_FREQ
|
|
in Similarity's MoreLikeThis class. The misspelling has been
|
|
replaced by the correct spelling.
|
|
(Andi Vajda via Daniel Naber)
|
|
|
|
12. LUCENE-738: Reduce the size of the file that keeps track of which
|
|
documents are deleted when the number of deleted documents is
|
|
small. This changes the index file format and cannot be
|
|
read by previous versions of Lucene. (Doron Cohen via Yonik Seeley)
|
|
|
|
13. LUCENE-756: Maintain all norms in a single .nrm file to reduce the
|
|
number of open files and file descriptors for the non-compound index
|
|
format. This changes the index file format, but maintains the
|
|
ability to read and update older indicies. The first segment merge
|
|
on an older format index will create a single .nrm file for the new
|
|
segment. (Doron Cohen via Yonik Seeley)
|
|
|
|
14. LUCENE-732: DateTools support has been added to QueryParser, with
|
|
setters for both the default Resolution, and per-field Resolution.
|
|
For backwards compatibility, DateField is still used if no Resolutions
|
|
are specified. (Michael Busch via Chris Hostetter)
|
|
|
|
15. Added isOptimized() method to IndexReader.
|
|
(Otis Gospodnetic)
|
|
|
|
16. LUCENE-773: Deprecate the FSDirectory.getDirectory(*) methods that
|
|
take a boolean "create" argument. Instead you should use
|
|
IndexWriter's "create" argument to create a new index.
|
|
(Mike McCandless)
|
|
|
|
17. LUCENE-780: Add a static Directory.copy() method to copy files
|
|
from one Directory to another. (Jiri Kuhn via Mike McCandless)
|
|
|
|
18. LUCENE-773: Added Directory.clearLock(String name) to forcefully
|
|
remove an old lock. The default implementation is to ask the
|
|
lockFactory (if non null) to clear the lock. (Mike McCandless)
|
|
|
|
19. LUCENE-795: Directory.renameFile() has been deprecated as it is
|
|
not used anymore inside Lucene. (Daniel Naber)
|
|
|
|
Bug fixes
|
|
|
|
1. Fixed the web application demo (built with "ant war-demo") which
|
|
didn't work because it used a QueryParser method that had
|
|
been removed (Daniel Naber)
|
|
|
|
2. LUCENE-583: ISOLatin1AccentFilter fails to preserve positionIncrement
|
|
(Yonik Seeley)
|
|
|
|
3. LUCENE-575: SpellChecker min score is incorrectly changed by suggestSimilar
|
|
(Karl Wettin via Yonik Seeley)
|
|
|
|
4. LUCENE-587: Explanation.toHtml was producing malformed HTML
|
|
(Chris Hostetter)
|
|
|
|
5. Fix to allow MatchAllDocsQuery to be used with RemoteSearcher (Yonik Seeley)
|
|
|
|
6. LUCENE-601: RAMDirectory and RAMFile made Serializable
|
|
(Karl Wettin via Otis Gospodnetic)
|
|
|
|
7. LUCENE-557: Fixes to BooleanQuery and FilteredQuery so that the score
|
|
Explanations match up with the real scores.
|
|
(Chris Hostetter)
|
|
|
|
8. LUCENE-607: ParallelReader's TermEnum fails to advance properly to
|
|
new fields (Chuck Williams, Christian Kohlschuetter via Yonik Seeley)
|
|
|
|
9. LUCENE-610,LUCENE-611: Simple syntax changes to allow compilation with ecj:
|
|
disambiguate inner class scorer's use of doc() in BooleanScorer2,
|
|
other test code changes. (DM Smith via Yonik Seeley)
|
|
|
|
10. LUCENE-451: All core query types now use ComplexExplanations so that
|
|
boosts of zero don't confuse the BooleanWeight explain method.
|
|
(Chris Hostetter)
|
|
|
|
11. LUCENE-593: Fixed LuceneDictionary's inner Iterator
|
|
(Kåre Fiedler Christiansen via Otis Gospodnetic)
|
|
|
|
12. LUCENE-641: fixed an off-by-one bug with IndexWriter.setMaxFieldLength()
|
|
(Daniel Naber)
|
|
|
|
13. LUCENE-659: Make PerFieldAnalyzerWrapper delegate getPositionIncrementGap()
|
|
to the correct analyzer for the field. (Chuck Williams via Yonik Seeley)
|
|
|
|
14. LUCENE-650: Fixed NPE in Locale specific String Sort when Document
|
|
has no value.
|
|
(Oliver Hutchison via Chris Hostetter)
|
|
|
|
15. LUCENE-683: Fixed data corruption when reading lazy loaded fields.
|
|
(Yonik Seeley)
|
|
|
|
16. LUCENE-678: Fixed bug in NativeFSLockFactory which caused the same
|
|
lock to be shared between different directories.
|
|
(Michael McCandless via Yonik Seeley)
|
|
|
|
17. LUCENE-690: Fixed thread unsafe use of IndexInput by lazy loaded fields.
|
|
(Yonik Seeley)
|
|
|
|
18. LUCENE-696: Fix bug when scorer for DisjunctionMaxQuery has skipTo()
|
|
called on it before next(). (Yonik Seeley)
|
|
|
|
19. LUCENE-569: Fixed SpanNearQuery bug, for 'inOrder' queries it would fail
|
|
to recognize ordered spans if they overlaped with unordered spans.
|
|
(Paul Elschot via Chris Hostetter)
|
|
|
|
20. LUCENE-706: Updated fileformats.xml|html concerning the docdelta value
|
|
in the frequency file. (Johan Stuyts, Doron Cohen via Grant Ingersoll)
|
|
|
|
21. LUCENE-715: Fixed private constructor in IndexWriter.java to
|
|
properly release the acquired write lock if there is an
|
|
IOException after acquiring the write lock but before finishing
|
|
instantiation. (Matthew Bogosian via Mike McCandless)
|
|
|
|
22. LUCENE-651: Multiple different threads requesting the same
|
|
FieldCache entry (often for Sorting by a field) at the same
|
|
time caused multiple generations of that entry, which was
|
|
detrimental to performance and memory use.
|
|
(Oliver Hutchison via Otis Gospodnetic)
|
|
|
|
23. LUCENE-717: Fixed build.xml not to fail when there is no lib dir.
|
|
(Doron Cohen via Otis Gospodnetic)
|
|
|
|
24. LUCENE-728: Removed duplicate/old MoreLikeThis and SimilarityQueries
|
|
classes from contrib/similarity, as their new home is under
|
|
contrib/queries.
|
|
(Otis Gospodnetic)
|
|
|
|
25. LUCENE-669: Do not double-close the RandomAccessFile in
|
|
FSIndexInput/Output during finalize(). Besides sending an
|
|
IOException up to the GC, this may also be the cause intermittent
|
|
"The handle is invalid" IOExceptions on Windows when trying to
|
|
close readers or writers. (Michael Busch via Mike McCandless)
|
|
|
|
26. LUCENE-702: Fix IndexWriter.addIndexes(*) to not corrupt the index
|
|
on any exceptions (eg disk full). The semantics of these methods
|
|
is now transactional: either all indices are merged or none are.
|
|
Also fixed IndexWriter.mergeSegments (called outside of
|
|
addIndexes(*) by addDocument, optimize, flushRamSegments) and
|
|
IndexReader.commit() (called by close) to clean up and keep the
|
|
instance state consistent to what's actually in the index (Mike
|
|
McCandless).
|
|
|
|
27. LUCENE-129: Change finalizers to do "try {...} finally
|
|
{super.finalize();}" to make sure we don't miss finalizers in
|
|
classes above us. (Esmond Pitt via Mike McCandless)
|
|
|

28. LUCENE-754: Fix a problem introduced by LUCENE-651, causing
|
|
IndexReaders to hang around forever, in addition to not
|
|
fixing the original FieldCache performance problem.
|
|
(Chris Hostetter, Yonik Seeley)
|
|
|
|
29. LUCENE-140: Fix IndexReader.deleteDocument(int docNum) to
|
|
correctly raise ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException when docNum is too
|
|
large. Previously, if docNum was only slightly too large (within
|
|
the same multiple of 8, ie, up to 7 ints beyond maxDoc), no
|
|
exception would be raised and instead the index would become
|
|
silently corrupted. The corruption then only appears much later,
|
|
in mergeSegments, when the corrupted segment is merged with
|
|
segment(s) after it. (Mike McCandless)
|
|
|
|
30. LUCENE-768: Fix case where an Exception during deleteDocument,
|
|
undeleteAll or setNorm in IndexReader could leave the reader in a
|
|
state where close() fails to release the write lock.
|
|
(Mike McCandless)
|
|
|
|
31. Remove "tvp" from known index file extensions because it is
|
|
never used. (Nicolas Lalevée via Bernhard Messer)
|
|
|
|
32. LUCENE-767: Change how SegmentReader.maxDoc() is computed to not
|
|
rely on file length check and instead use the SegmentInfo's
|
|
docCount that's already stored explicitly in the index. This is a
|
|
defensive bug fix (ie, there is no known problem seen "in real
|
|
life" due to this, just a possible future problem). (Chuck
|
|
Williams via Mike McCandless)
|
|
|
|
Optimizations
|
|
|
|
1. LUCENE-586: TermDocs.skipTo() is now more efficient for
|
|
multi-segment indexes. This will improve the performance of many
|
|
types of queries against a non-optimized index. (Andrew Hudson
|
|
via Yonik Seeley)
|
|
|
|
2. LUCENE-623: RAMDirectory.close now nulls out its reference to all
|
|
internal "files", allowing them to be GCed even if references to the
|
|
RAMDirectory itself still exist. (Nadav Har'El via Chris Hostetter)
|
|
|
|
3. LUCENE-629: Compressed fields are no longer uncompressed and
|
|
recompressed during segment merges (e.g. during indexing or
|
|
optimizing), thus improving performance . (Michael Busch via Otis
|
|
Gospodnetic)
|
|
|
|
4. LUCENE-388: Improve indexing performance when maxBufferedDocs is
|
|
large by keeping a count of buffered documents rather than
|
|
counting after each document addition. (Doron Cohen, Paul Smith,
|
|
Yonik Seeley)
|
|
|
|
5. Modified TermScorer.explain to use TermDocs.skipTo() instead of
|
|
looping through docs. (Grant Ingersoll)
|
|
|
|
6. LUCENE-672: New indexing segment merge policy flushes all
|
|
buffered docs to their own segment and delays a merge until
|
|
mergeFactor segments of a certain level have been accumulated.
|
|
This increases indexing performance in the presence of deleted
|
|
docs or partially full segments as well as enabling future
|
|
optimizations.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: this also fixes an "under-merging" bug whereby it is
|
|
possible to get far too many segments in your index (which will
|
|
drastically slow down search, risks exhausting file descriptor
|
|
limit, etc.). This can happen when the number of buffered docs
|
|
at close, plus the number of docs in the last non-ram segment is
|
|
greater than mergeFactor. (Ning Li, Yonik Seeley)
|
|
|
|
7. Lazy loaded fields unnecessarily retained an extra copy of loaded
|
|
String data. (Yonik Seeley)
|
|
|
|
8. LUCENE-443: ConjunctionScorer performance increase. Speed up
|
|
any BooleanQuery with more than one mandatory clause.
|
|
(Abdul Chaudhry, Paul Elschot via Yonik Seeley)
|
|
|
|
9. LUCENE-365: DisjunctionSumScorer performance increase of
|
|
~30%. Speeds up queries with optional clauses. (Paul Elschot via
|
|
Yonik Seeley)
|
|
|
|
10. LUCENE-695: Optimized BufferedIndexInput.readBytes() for medium
|
|
size buffers, which will speed up merging and retrieving binary
|
|
and compressed fields. (Nadav Har'El via Yonik Seeley)
|
|
|
|
11. LUCENE-687: Lazy skipping on proximity file speeds up most
|
|
queries involving term positions, including phrase queries.
|
|
(Michael Busch via Yonik Seeley)
|
|
|
|
12. LUCENE-714: Replaced 2 cases of manual for-loop array copying
|
|
with calls to System.arraycopy instead, in DocumentWriter.java.
|
|
(Nicolas Lalevee via Mike McCandless)
|
|
|
|
13. LUCENE-729: Non-recursive skipTo and next implementation of
|
|
TermDocs for a MultiReader. The old implementation could
|
|
recurse up to the number of segments in the index. (Yonik Seeley)
|
|
|
|
14. LUCENE-739: Improve segment merging performance by reusing
|
|
the norm array across different fields and doing bulk writes
|
|
of norms of segments with no deleted docs.
|
|
(Michael Busch via Yonik Seeley)
|
|
|
|
15. LUCENE-745: Add BooleanQuery.clauses(), allowing direct access
|
|
to the List of clauses and replaced the internal synchronized Vector
|
|
with an unsynchronized List. (Yonik Seeley)
|
|
|
|
16. LUCENE-750: Remove finalizers from FSIndexOutput and move the
|
|
FSIndexInput finalizer to the actual file so all clones don't
|
|
register a new finalizer. (Yonik Seeley)
|
|
|
|
Test Cases
|
|
1. Added TestTermScorer.java (Grant Ingersoll)
|
|
2. Added TestWindowsMMap.java (Benson Margulies via Mike McCandless)
|
|
3. LUCENE-744 Append the user.name property onto the temporary directory that is created so it doesn't interfere with other users. (Grant Ingersoll)
|
|
|
|
Documentation
|
|
|
|
1. Added style sheet to xdocs named lucene.css and included in the
|
|
Anakia VSL descriptor. (Grant Ingersoll)
|
|
|
|
2. Added scoring.xml document into xdocs. Updated Similarity.java
|
|
scoring formula.(Grant Ingersoll and Steve Rowe. Updates from:
|
|
Michael McCandless, Doron Cohen, Chris Hostetter, Doug Cutting).
|
|
Issue 664.
|
|
|
|
3. Added javadocs for FieldSelectorResult.java. (Grant Ingersoll)
|
|
|
|
4. Moved xdocs directory to src/site/src/documentation/content/xdocs per Issue 707. Site now builds using Forrest, just like the other Lucene siblings. See http://wiki.apache.org/jakarta-lucene/HowToUpdateTheWebsite for info on updating the website. (Grant Ingersoll with help from Steve Rowe, Chris Hostetter, Doug Cutting, Otis Gospodnetic, Yonik Seeley)
|
|
|
|
5. Added in Developer and System Requriements sections under Resources (Grant Ingersoll)
|
|
|
|
6. LUCENE-713 Updated the Term Vector section of File Formats to include documentation on how Offset and Position info are stored in the TVF file. (Grant Ingersoll, Samir Abdou)
|
|
|
|
7. Added in link to Clover Test Code Coverage Reports under the Develop section in Resources (Grant Ingersoll)
|
|
|
|
8. LUCENE-748: Added details for semantics of IndexWriter.close on
|
|
hitting an Exception. (Jed Wesley-Smith via Mike McCandless)
|
|
|
|
9. Added some text about what is contained in releases. (Eric Haszlakiewicz via Grant Ingersoll)
|
|
|
|
10. LUCENE-758: Fix javadoc to clarify that RAMDirectory(Directory)
|
|
makes a full copy of the starting Directory. (Mike McCandless)
|
|
|
|
11. LUCENE-764: Fix javadocs to detail temporary space requirements
|
|
for IndexWriter's optimize(), addIndexes(*) and addDocument(...)
|
|
methods. (Mike McCandless)
|
|
|
|
Build
|
|
|
|
1. Added in clover test code coverage per http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-721 To enable clover code coverage, you must have clover.jar in the ANT classpath and specify -Drun.clover=true on the command line.(Michael Busch and Grant Ingersoll)
|
|
|
|
2. Added a sysproperty in common-build.xml per Lucene 752 to map java.io.tmpdir to ${build.dir}/test just like the tempDir sysproperty.
|
|
|
|
3. LUCENE-757 Added new target named init-dist that does setup for distribution of both binary and source distributions. Called by package and package-*-src
|
|
|
|
Release 2.0.0 2006-05-26
|
|
|
|
API Changes
|
|
|
|
1. All deprecated methods and fields have been removed, except
|
|
DateField, which will still be supported for some time
|
|
so Lucene can read its date fields from old indexes
|
|
(Yonik Seeley & Grant Ingersoll)
|
|
|
|
2. DisjunctionSumScorer is no longer public.
|
|
(Paul Elschot via Otis Gospodnetic)
|
|
|
|
3. Creating a Field with both an empty name and an empty value
|
|
now throws an IllegalArgumentException
|
|
(Daniel Naber)
|
|
|
|
4. LUCENE-301: Added new IndexWriter({String,File,Directory},
|
|
Analyzer) constructors that do not take a boolean "create"
|
|
argument. These new constructors will create a new index if
|
|
necessary, else append to the existing one. (Dan Armbrust via
|
|
Mike McCandless)
|
|
|
|
New features
|
|
|
|
1. LUCENE-496: Command line tool for modifying the field norms of an
|
|
existing index; added to contrib/miscellaneous. (Chris Hostetter)
|
|
|
|
2. LUCENE-577: SweetSpotSimilarity added to contrib/miscellaneous.
|
|
(Chris Hostetter)
|
|
|
|
Bug fixes
|
|
|
|
1. LUCENE-330: Fix issue of FilteredQuery not working properly within
|
|
BooleanQuery. (Paul Elschot via Erik Hatcher)
|
|
|
|
2. LUCENE-515: Make ConstantScoreRangeQuery and ConstantScoreQuery work
|
|
with RemoteSearchable. (Philippe Laflamme via Yonik Seeley)
|
|
|
|
3. Added methods to get/set writeLockTimeout and commitLockTimeout in
|
|
IndexWriter. These could be set in Lucene 1.4 using a system property.
|
|
This feature had been removed without adding the corresponding
|
|
getter/setter methods. (Daniel Naber)
|
|
|
|
4. LUCENE-413: Fixed ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException exceptions
|
|
when using SpanQueries. (Paul Elschot via Yonik Seeley)
|
|
|
|
5. Implemented FilterIndexReader.getVersion() and isCurrent()
|
|
(Yonik Seeley)
|
|
|
|
6. LUCENE-540: Fixed a bug with IndexWriter.addIndexes(Directory[])
|
|
that sometimes caused the index order of documents to change.
|
|
(Yonik Seeley)
|
|
|
|
7. LUCENE-526: Fixed a bug in FieldSortedHitQueue that caused
|
|
subsequent String sorts with different locales to sort identically.
|
|
(Paul Cowan via Yonik Seeley)
|
|
|
|
8. LUCENE-541: Add missing extractTerms() to DisjunctionMaxQuery
|
|
(Stefan Will via Yonik Seeley)
|
|
|
|
9. LUCENE-514: Added getTermArrays() and extractTerms() to
|
|
MultiPhraseQuery (Eric Jain & Yonik Seeley)
|
|
|
|
10. LUCENE-512: Fixed ClassCastException in ParallelReader.getTermFreqVectors
|
|
(frederic via Yonik)
|
|
|
|
11. LUCENE-352: Fixed bug in SpanNotQuery that manifested as
|
|
NullPointerException when "exclude" query was not a SpanTermQuery.
|
|
(Chris Hostetter)
|
|
|
|
12. LUCENE-572: Fixed bug in SpanNotQuery hashCode, was ignoring exclude clause
|
|
(Chris Hostetter)
|
|
|
|
13. LUCENE-561: Fixed some ParallelReader bugs. NullPointerException if the reader
|
|
didn't know about the field yet, reader didn't keep track if it had deletions,
|
|
and deleteDocument calls could circumvent synchronization on the subreaders.
|
|
(Chuck Williams via Yonik Seeley)
|
|
|
|
14. LUCENE-556: Added empty extractTerms() implementation to MatchAllDocsQuery and
|
|
ConstantScoreQuery in order to allow their use with a MultiSearcher.
|
|
(Yonik Seeley)
|
|
|
|
15. LUCENE-546: Removed 2GB file size limitations for RAMDirectory.
|
|
(Peter Royal, Michael Chan, Yonik Seeley)
|
|
|
|
16. LUCENE-485: Don't hold commit lock while removing obsolete index
|
|
files. (Luc Vanlerberghe via cutting)
|
|
|
|
|
|
1.9.1
|
|
|
|
Bug fixes
|
|
|
|
1. LUCENE-511: Fix a bug in the BufferedIndexOutput optimization
|
|
introduced in 1.9-final. (Shay Banon & Steven Tamm via cutting)
|
|
|
|
1.9 final
|
|
|
|
Note that this release is mostly but not 100% source compatible with
|
|
the previous release of Lucene (1.4.3). In other words, you should
|
|
make sure your application compiles with this version of Lucene before
|
|
you replace the old Lucene JAR with the new one. Many methods have
|
|
been deprecated in anticipation of release 2.0, so deprecation
|
|
warnings are to be expected when upgrading from 1.4.3 to 1.9.
|
|
|
|
Bug fixes
|
|
|
|
1. The fix that made IndexWriter.setMaxBufferedDocs(1) work had negative
|
|
effects on indexing performance and has thus been reverted. The
|
|
argument for setMaxBufferedDocs(int) must now at least be 2, otherwise
|
|
an exception is thrown. (Daniel Naber)
|
|
|
|
Optimizations
|
|
|
|
1. Optimized BufferedIndexOutput.writeBytes() to use
|
|
System.arraycopy() in more cases, rather than copying byte-by-byte.
|
|
(Lukas Zapletal via Cutting)
|
|
|
|
1.9 RC1
|
|
|
|
Requirements
|
|
|
|
1. To compile and use Lucene you now need Java 1.4 or later.
|
|
|
|
Changes in runtime behavior
|
|
|
|
1. FuzzyQuery can no longer throw a TooManyClauses exception. If a
|
|
FuzzyQuery expands to more than BooleanQuery.maxClauseCount
|
|
terms only the BooleanQuery.maxClauseCount most similar terms
|
|
go into the rewritten query and thus the exception is avoided.
|
|
(Christoph)
|
|
|
|
2. Changed system property from "org.apache.lucene.lockdir" to
|
|
"org.apache.lucene.lockDir", so that its casing follows the existing
|
|
pattern used in other Lucene system properties. (Bernhard)
|
|
|
|
3. The terms of RangeQueries and FuzzyQueries are now converted to
|
|
lowercase by default (as it has been the case for PrefixQueries
|
|
and WildcardQueries before). Use setLowercaseExpandedTerms(false)
|
|
to disable that behavior but note that this also affects
|
|
PrefixQueries and WildcardQueries. (Daniel Naber)
|
|
|
|
4. Document frequency that is computed when MultiSearcher is used is now
|
|
computed correctly and "globally" across subsearchers and indices, while
|
|
before it used to be computed locally to each index, which caused
|
|
ranking across multiple indices not to be equivalent.
|
|
(Chuck Williams, Wolf Siberski via Otis, bug #31841)
|
|
|
|
5. When opening an IndexWriter with create=true, Lucene now only deletes
|
|
its own files from the index directory (looking at the file name suffixes
|
|
to decide if a file belongs to Lucene). The old behavior was to delete
|
|
all files. (Daniel Naber and Bernhard Messer, bug #34695)
|
|
|
|
6. The version of an IndexReader, as returned by getCurrentVersion()
|
|
and getVersion() doesn't start at 0 anymore for new indexes. Instead, it
|
|
is now initialized by the system time in milliseconds.
|
|
(Bernhard Messer via Daniel Naber)
|
|
|
|
7. Several default values cannot be set via system properties anymore, as
|
|
this has been considered inappropriate for a library like Lucene. For
|
|
most properties there are set/get methods available in IndexWriter which
|
|
you should use instead. This affects the following properties:
|
|
See IndexWriter for getter/setter methods:
|
|
org.apache.lucene.writeLockTimeout, org.apache.lucene.commitLockTimeout,
|
|
org.apache.lucene.minMergeDocs, org.apache.lucene.maxMergeDocs,
|
|
org.apache.lucene.maxFieldLength, org.apache.lucene.termIndexInterval,
|
|
org.apache.lucene.mergeFactor,
|
|
See BooleanQuery for getter/setter methods:
|
|
org.apache.lucene.maxClauseCount
|
|
See FSDirectory for getter/setter methods:
|
|
disableLuceneLocks
|
|
(Daniel Naber)
|
|
|
|
8. Fixed FieldCacheImpl to use user-provided IntParser and FloatParser,
|
|
instead of using Integer and Float classes for parsing.
|
|
(Yonik Seeley via Otis Gospodnetic)
|
|
|
|
9. Expert level search routines returning TopDocs and TopFieldDocs
|
|
no longer normalize scores. This also fixes bugs related to
|
|
MultiSearchers and score sorting/normalization.
|
|
(Luc Vanlerberghe via Yonik Seeley, LUCENE-469)
|
|
|
|
New features
|
|
|
|
1. Added support for stored compressed fields (patch #31149)
|
|
(Bernhard Messer via Christoph)
|
|
|
|
2. Added support for binary stored fields (patch #29370)
|
|
(Drew Farris and Bernhard Messer via Christoph)
|
|
|
|
3. Added support for position and offset information in term vectors
|
|
(patch #18927). (Grant Ingersoll & Christoph)
|
|
|
|
4. A new class DateTools has been added. It allows you to format dates
|
|
in a readable format adequate for indexing. Unlike the existing
|
|
DateField class DateTools can cope with dates before 1970 and it
|
|
forces you to specify the desired date resolution (e.g. month, day,
|
|
second, ...) which can make RangeQuerys on those fields more efficient.
|
|
(Daniel Naber)
|
|
|
|
5. QueryParser now correctly works with Analyzers that can return more
|
|
than one token per position. For example, a query "+fast +car"
|
|
would be parsed as "+fast +(car automobile)" if the Analyzer
|
|
returns "car" and "automobile" at the same position whenever it
|
|
finds "car" (Patch #23307).
|
|
(Pierrick Brihaye, Daniel Naber)
|
|
|
|
6. Permit unbuffered Directory implementations (e.g., using mmap).
|
|
InputStream is replaced by the new classes IndexInput and
|
|
BufferedIndexInput. OutputStream is replaced by the new classes
|
|
IndexOutput and BufferedIndexOutput. InputStream and OutputStream
|
|
are now deprecated and FSDirectory is now subclassable. (cutting)
|
|
|
|
7. Add native Directory and TermDocs implementations that work under
|
|
GCJ. These require GCC 3.4.0 or later and have only been tested
|
|
on Linux. Use 'ant gcj' to build demo applications. (cutting)
|
|
|
|
8. Add MMapDirectory, which uses nio to mmap input files. This is
|
|
still somewhat slower than FSDirectory. However it uses less
|
|
memory per query term, since a new buffer is not allocated per
|
|
term, which may help applications which use, e.g., wildcard
|
|
queries. It may also someday be faster. (cutting & Paul Elschot)
|
|
|
|
9. Added javadocs-internal to build.xml - bug #30360
|
|
(Paul Elschot via Otis)
|
|
|
|
10. Added RangeFilter, a more generically useful filter than DateFilter.
|
|
(Chris M Hostetter via Erik)
|
|
|
|
11. Added NumberTools, a utility class indexing numeric fields.
|
|
(adapted from code contributed by Matt Quail; committed by Erik)
|
|
|
|
12. Added public static IndexReader.main(String[] args) method.
|
|
IndexReader can now be used directly at command line level
|
|
to list and optionally extract the individual files from an existing
|
|
compound index file.
|
|
(adapted from code contributed by Garrett Rooney; committed by Bernhard)
|
|
|
|
13. Add IndexWriter.setTermIndexInterval() method. See javadocs.
|
|
(Doug Cutting)
|
|
|
|
14. Added LucenePackage, whose static get() method returns java.util.Package,
|
|
which lets the caller get the Lucene version information specified in
|
|
the Lucene Jar.
|
|
(Doug Cutting via Otis)
|
|
|
|
15. Added Hits.iterator() method and corresponding HitIterator and Hit objects.
|
|
This provides standard java.util.Iterator iteration over Hits.
|
|
Each call to the iterator's next() method returns a Hit object.
|
|
(Jeremy Rayner via Erik)
|
|
|
|
16. Add ParallelReader, an IndexReader that combines separate indexes
|
|
over different fields into a single virtual index. (Doug Cutting)
|
|
|
|
17. Add IntParser and FloatParser interfaces to FieldCache, so that
|
|
fields in arbitrarily formats can be cached as ints and floats.
|
|
(Doug Cutting)
|
|
|
|
18. Added class org.apache.lucene.index.IndexModifier which combines
|
|
IndexWriter and IndexReader, so you can add and delete documents without
|
|
worrying about synchronisation/locking issues.
|
|
(Daniel Naber)
|
|
|
|
19. Lucene can now be used inside an unsigned applet, as Lucene's access
|
|
to system properties will not cause a SecurityException anymore.
|
|
(Jon Schuster via Daniel Naber, bug #34359)
|
|
|
|
20. Added a new class MatchAllDocsQuery that matches all documents.
|
|
(John Wang via Daniel Naber, bug #34946)
|
|
|
|
21. Added ability to omit norms on a per field basis to decrease
|
|
index size and memory consumption when there are many indexed fields.
|
|
See Field.setOmitNorms()
|
|
(Yonik Seeley, LUCENE-448)
|
|
|
|
22. Added NullFragmenter to contrib/highlighter, which is useful for
|
|
highlighting entire documents or fields.
|
|
(Erik Hatcher)
|
|
|
|
23. Added regular expression queries, RegexQuery and SpanRegexQuery.
|
|
Note the same term enumeration caveats apply with these queries as
|
|
apply to WildcardQuery and other term expanding queries.
|
|
These two new queries are not currently supported via QueryParser.
|
|
(Erik Hatcher)
|
|
|
|
24. Added ConstantScoreQuery which wraps a filter and produces a score
|
|
equal to the query boost for every matching document.
|
|
(Yonik Seeley, LUCENE-383)
|
|
|
|
25. Added ConstantScoreRangeQuery which produces a constant score for
|
|
every document in the range. One advantage over a normal RangeQuery
|
|
is that it doesn't expand to a BooleanQuery and thus doesn't have a maximum
|
|
number of terms the range can cover. Both endpoints may also be open.
|
|
(Yonik Seeley, LUCENE-383)
|
|
|
|
26. Added ability to specify a minimum number of optional clauses that
|
|
must match in a BooleanQuery. See BooleanQuery.setMinimumNumberShouldMatch().
|
|
(Paul Elschot, Chris Hostetter via Yonik Seeley, LUCENE-395)
|
|
|
|
27. Added DisjunctionMaxQuery which provides the maximum score across its clauses.
|
|
It's very useful for searching across multiple fields.
|
|
(Chuck Williams via Yonik Seeley, LUCENE-323)
|
|
|
|
28. New class ISOLatin1AccentFilter that replaces accented characters in the ISO
|
|
Latin 1 character set by their unaccented equivalent.
|
|
(Sven Duzont via Erik Hatcher)

|
|
|
29. New class KeywordAnalyzer. "Tokenizes" the entire stream as a single token.
|
|
This is useful for data like zip codes, ids, and some product names.
|
|
(Erik Hatcher)
|
|
|
|
30. Copied LengthFilter from contrib area to core. Removes words that are too
|
|
long and too short from the stream.
|
|
(David Spencer via Otis and Daniel)
|
|
|
|
31. Added getPositionIncrementGap(String fieldName) to Analyzer. This allows
|
|
custom analyzers to put gaps between Field instances with the same field
|
|
name, preventing phrase or span queries crossing these boundaries. The
|
|
default implementation issues a gap of 0, allowing the default token
|
|
position increment of 1 to put the next field's first token into a
|
|
successive position.
|
|
(Erik Hatcher, with advice from Yonik)
|
|
|
|
32. StopFilter can now ignore case when checking for stop words.
|
|
(Grant Ingersoll via Yonik, LUCENE-248)
|
|
|
|
33. Add TopDocCollector and TopFieldDocCollector. These simplify the
|
|
implementation of hit collectors that collect only the
|
|
top-scoring or top-sorting hits.
|
|
|
|
API Changes
|
|
|
|
1. Several methods and fields have been deprecated. The API documentation
|
|
contains information about the recommended replacements. It is planned
|
|
that most of the deprecated methods and fields will be removed in
|
|
Lucene 2.0. (Daniel Naber)
|
|
|
|
2. The Russian and the German analyzers have been moved to contrib/analyzers.
|
|
Also, the WordlistLoader class has been moved one level up in the
|
|
hierarchy and is now org.apache.lucene.analysis.WordlistLoader
|
|
(Daniel Naber)
|
|
|
|
3. The API contained methods that declared to throw an IOException
|
|
but that never did this. These declarations have been removed. If
|
|
your code tries to catch these exceptions you might need to remove
|
|
those catch clauses to avoid compile errors. (Daniel Naber)
|
|
|
|
4. Add a serializable Parameter Class to standardize parameter enum
|
|
classes in BooleanClause and Field. (Christoph)
|
|
|
|
5. Added rewrite methods to all SpanQuery subclasses that nest other SpanQuerys.
|
|
This allows custom SpanQuery subclasses that rewrite (for term expansion, for
|
|
example) to nest within the built-in SpanQuery classes successfully.
|
|
|
|
Bug fixes
|
|
|
|
1. The JSP demo page (src/jsp/results.jsp) now properly closes the
|
|
IndexSearcher it opens. (Daniel Naber)
|
|
|
|
2. Fixed a bug in IndexWriter.addIndexes(IndexReader[] readers) that
|
|
prevented deletion of obsolete segments. (Christoph Goller)
|
|
|
|
3. Fix in FieldInfos to avoid the return of an extra blank field in
|
|
IndexReader.getFieldNames() (Patch #19058). (Mark Harwood via Bernhard)
|
|
|
|
4. Some combinations of BooleanQuery and MultiPhraseQuery (formerly
|
|
PhrasePrefixQuery) could provoke UnsupportedOperationException
|
|
(bug #33161). (Rhett Sutphin via Daniel Naber)
|
|
|
|
5. Small bug in skipTo of ConjunctionScorer that caused NullPointerException
|
|
if skipTo() was called without prior call to next() fixed. (Christoph)
|
|
|
|
6. Disable Similiarty.coord() in the scoring of most automatically
|
|
generated boolean queries. The coord() score factor is
|
|
appropriate when clauses are independently specified by a user,
|
|
but is usually not appropriate when clauses are generated
|
|
automatically, e.g., by a fuzzy, wildcard or range query. Matches
|
|
on such automatically generated queries are no longer penalized
|
|
for not matching all terms. (Doug Cutting, Patch #33472)
|
|
|
|
7. Getting a lock file with Lock.obtain(long) was supposed to wait for
|
|
a given amount of milliseconds, but this didn't work.
|
|
(John Wang via Daniel Naber, Bug #33799)
|
|
|
|
8. Fix FSDirectory.createOutput() to always create new files.
|
|
Previously, existing files were overwritten, and an index could be
|
|
corrupted when the old version of a file was longer than the new.
|
|
Now any existing file is first removed. (Doug Cutting)
|
|
|
|
9. Fix BooleanQuery containing nested SpanTermQuery's, which previously
|
|
could return an incorrect number of hits.
|
|
(Reece Wilton via Erik Hatcher, Bug #35157)
|
|
|
|
10. Fix NullPointerException that could occur with a MultiPhraseQuery
|
|
inside a BooleanQuery.
|
|
(Hans Hjelm and Scotty Allen via Daniel Naber, Bug #35626)
|
|
|
|
11. Fixed SnowballFilter to pass through the position increment from
|
|
the original token.
|
|
(Yonik Seeley via Erik Hatcher, LUCENE-437)
|
|
|
|
12. Added Unicode range of Korean characters to StandardTokenizer,
|
|
grouping contiguous characters into a token rather than one token
|
|
per character. This change also changes the token type to "<CJ>"
|
|
for Chinese and Japanese character tokens (previously it was "<CJK>").
|
|
(Cheolgoo Kang via Otis and Erik, LUCENE-444 and LUCENE-461)
|
|
|
|
13. FieldsReader now looks at FieldInfo.storeOffsetWithTermVector and
|
|
FieldInfo.storePositionWithTermVector and creates the Field with
|
|
correct TermVector parameter.
|
|
(Frank Steinmann via Bernhard, LUCENE-455)
|
|
|
|
14. Fixed WildcardQuery to prevent "cat" matching "ca??".
|
|
(Xiaozheng Ma via Bernhard, LUCENE-306)
|
|
|
|
15. Fixed a bug where MultiSearcher and ParallelMultiSearcher could
|
|
change the sort order when sorting by string for documents without
|
|
a value for the sort field.
|
|
(Luc Vanlerberghe via Yonik, LUCENE-453)
|
|
|
|
16. Fixed a sorting problem with MultiSearchers that can lead to
|
|
missing or duplicate docs due to equal docs sorting in an arbitrary order.
|
|
(Yonik Seeley, LUCENE-456)
|
|
|
|
17. A single hit using the expert level sorted search methods
|
|
resulted in the score not being normalized.
|
|
(Yonik Seeley, LUCENE-462)
|
|
|
|
18. Fixed inefficient memory usage when loading an index into RAMDirectory.
|
|
(Volodymyr Bychkoviak via Bernhard, LUCENE-475)
|
|
|
|
19. Corrected term offsets returned by ChineseTokenizer.
|
|
(Ray Tsang via Erik Hatcher, LUCENE-324)
|
|
|
|
20. Fixed MultiReader.undeleteAll() to correctly update numDocs.
|
|
(Robert Kirchgessner via Doug Cutting, LUCENE-479)
|
|
|
|
21. Race condition in IndexReader.getCurrentVersion() and isCurrent()
|
|
fixed by aquiring the commit lock.
|
|
(Luc Vanlerberghe via Yonik Seeley, LUCENE-481)
|
|
|
|
22. IndexWriter.setMaxBufferedDocs(1) didn't have the expected effect,
|
|
this has now been fixed. (Daniel Naber)
|
|
|
|
23. Fixed QueryParser when called with a date in local form like
|
|
"[1/16/2000 TO 1/18/2000]". This query did not include the documents
|
|
of 1/18/2000, i.e. the last day was not included. (Daniel Naber)
|
|
|
|
24. Removed sorting constraint that threw an exception if there were
|
|
not yet any values for the sort field (Yonik Seeley, LUCENE-374)
|
|
|
|
Optimizations
|
|
|
|
1. Disk usage (peak requirements during indexing and optimization)
|
|
in case of compound file format has been improved.
|
|
(Bernhard, Dmitry, and Christoph)
|
|
|
|
2. Optimize the performance of certain uses of BooleanScorer,
|
|
TermScorer and IndexSearcher. In particular, a BooleanQuery
|
|
composed of TermQuery, with not all terms required, that returns a
|
|
TopDocs (e.g., through a Hits with no Sort specified) runs much
|
|
faster. (cutting)
|
|
|
|
3. Removed synchronization from reading of term vectors with an
|
|
IndexReader (Patch #30736). (Bernhard Messer via Christoph)
|
|
|
|
4. Optimize term-dictionary lookup to allocate far fewer terms when
|
|
scanning for the matching term. This speeds searches involving
|
|
low-frequency terms, where the cost of dictionary lookup can be
|
|
significant. (cutting)
|
|
|
|
5. Optimize fuzzy queries so the standard fuzzy queries with a prefix
|
|
of 0 now run 20-50% faster (Patch #31882).
|
|
(Jonathan Hager via Daniel Naber)
|
|
|
|
6. A Version of BooleanScorer (BooleanScorer2) added that delivers
|
|
documents in increasing order and implements skipTo. For queries
|
|
with required or forbidden clauses it may be faster than the old
|
|
BooleanScorer, for BooleanQueries consisting only of optional
|
|
clauses it is probably slower. The new BooleanScorer is now the
|
|
default. (Patch 31785 by Paul Elschot via Christoph)
|
|
|
|
7. Use uncached access to norms when merging to reduce RAM usage.
|
|
(Bug #32847). (Doug Cutting)
|
|
|
|
8. Don't read term index when random-access is not required. This
|
|
reduces time to open IndexReaders and they use less memory when
|
|
random access is not required, e.g., when merging segments. The
|
|
term index is now read into memory lazily at the first
|
|
random-access. (Doug Cutting)
|
|
|
|
9. Optimize IndexWriter.addIndexes(Directory[]) when the number of
|
|
added indexes is larger than mergeFactor. Previously this could
|
|
result in quadratic performance. Now performance is n log(n).
|
|
(Doug Cutting)
|
|
|
|
10. Speed up the creation of TermEnum for indicies with multiple
|
|
segments and deleted documents, and thus speed up PrefixQuery,
|
|
RangeQuery, WildcardQuery, FuzzyQuery, RangeFilter, DateFilter,
|
|
and sorting the first time on a field.
|
|
(Yonik Seeley, LUCENE-454)
|
|
|
|
11. Optimized and generalized 32 bit floating point to byte
|
|
(custom 8 bit floating point) conversions. Increased the speed of
|
|
Similarity.encodeNorm() anywhere from 10% to 250%, depending on the JVM.
|
|
(Yonik Seeley, LUCENE-467)
|
|
|
|
Infrastructure
|
|
|
|
1. Lucene's source code repository has converted from CVS to
|
|
Subversion. The new repository is at
|
|
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/lucene/java/trunk
|
|
|
|
2. Lucene's issue tracker has migrated from Bugzilla to JIRA.
|
|
Lucene's JIRA is at http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE
|
|
The old issues are still available at
|
|
http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=xxxx
|
|
(use the bug number instead of xxxx)
|
|
|
|
|
|
1.4.3
|
|
|
|
1. The JSP demo page (src/jsp/results.jsp) now properly escapes error
|
|
messages which might contain user input (e.g. error messages about
|
|
query parsing). If you used that page as a starting point for your
|
|
own code please make sure your code also properly escapes HTML
|
|
characters from user input in order to avoid so-called cross site
|
|
scripting attacks. (Daniel Naber)
|
|
|
|
2. QueryParser changes in 1.4.2 broke the QueryParser API. Now the old
|
|
API is supported again. (Christoph)
|
|
|
|
|
|
1.4.2
|
|
|
|
1. Fixed bug #31241: Sorting could lead to incorrect results (documents
|
|
missing, others duplicated) if the sort keys were not unique and there
|
|
were more than 100 matches. (Daniel Naber)
|
|
|
|
2. Memory leak in Sort code (bug #31240) eliminated.
|
|
(Rafal Krzewski via Christoph and Daniel)
|
|
|
|
3. FuzzyQuery now takes an additional parameter that specifies the
|
|
minimum similarity that is required for a term to match the query.
|
|
The QueryParser syntax for this is term~x, where x is a floating
|
|
point number >= 0 and < 1 (a bigger number means that a higher
|
|
similarity is required). Furthermore, a prefix can be specified
|
|
for FuzzyQuerys so that only those terms are considered similar that
|
|
start with this prefix. This can speed up FuzzyQuery greatly.
|
|
(Daniel Naber, Christoph Goller)
|
|
|
|
4. PhraseQuery and PhrasePrefixQuery now allow the explicit specification
|
|
of relative positions. (Christoph Goller)
|
|
|
|
5. QueryParser changes: Fix for ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsExceptions
|
|
(patch #9110); some unused method parameters removed; The ability
|
|
to specify a minimum similarity for FuzzyQuery has been added.
|
|
(Christoph Goller)
|
|
|
|
6. IndexSearcher optimization: a new ScoreDoc is no longer allocated
|
|
for every non-zero-scoring hit. This makes 'OR' queries that
|
|
contain common terms substantially faster. (cutting)
|
|
|
|
|
|
1.4.1
|
|
|
|
1. Fixed a performance bug in hit sorting code, where values were not
|
|
correctly cached. (Aviran via cutting)
|
|
|
|
2. Fixed errors in file format documentation. (Daniel Naber)
|
|
|
|
|
|
1.4 final
|
|
|
|
1. Added "an" to the list of stop words in StopAnalyzer, to complement
|
|
the existing "a" there. Fix for bug 28960
|
|
(http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=28960). (Otis)
|
|
|
|
2. Added new class FieldCache to manage in-memory caches of field term
|
|
values. (Tim Jones)
|
|
|
|
3. Added overloaded getFieldQuery method to QueryParser which
|
|
accepts the slop factor specified for the phrase (or the default
|
|
phrase slop for the QueryParser instance). This allows overriding
|
|
methods to replace a PhraseQuery with a SpanNearQuery instead,
|
|
keeping the proper slop factor. (Erik Hatcher)
|
|
|
|
4. Changed the encoding of GermanAnalyzer.java and GermanStemmer.java to
|
|
UTF-8 and changed the build encoding to UTF-8, to make changed files
|
|
compile. (Otis Gospodnetic)
|
|
|
|
5. Removed synchronization from term lookup under IndexReader methods
|
|
termFreq(), termDocs() or termPositions() to improve
|
|
multi-threaded performance. (cutting)
|
|
|
|
6. Fix a bug where obsolete segment files were not deleted on Win32.
|
|
|
|
|
|
1.4 RC3
|
|
|
|
1. Fixed several search bugs introduced by the skipTo() changes in
|
|
release 1.4RC1. The index file format was changed a bit, so
|
|
collections must be re-indexed to take advantage of the skipTo()
|
|
optimizations. (Christoph Goller)
|
|
|
|
2. Added new Document methods, removeField() and removeFields().
|
|
(Christoph Goller)
|
|
|
|
3. Fixed inconsistencies with index closing. Indexes and directories
|
|
are now only closed automatically by Lucene when Lucene opened
|
|
them automatically. (Christoph Goller)
|
|
|
|
4. Added new class: FilteredQuery. (Tim Jones)
|
|
|
|
5. Added a new SortField type for custom comparators. (Tim Jones)
|
|
|
|
6. Lock obtain timed out message now displays the full path to the lock
|
|
file. (Daniel Naber via Erik)
|
|
|
|
7. Fixed a bug in SpanNearQuery when ordered. (Paul Elschot via cutting)
|
|
|
|
8. Fixed so that FSDirectory's locks still work when the
|
|
java.io.tmpdir system property is null. (cutting)
|
|
|
|
9. Changed FilteredTermEnum's constructor to take no parameters,
|
|
as the parameters were ignored anyway (bug #28858)
|
|
|
|
1.4 RC2
|
|
|
|
1. GermanAnalyzer now throws an exception if the stopword file
|
|
cannot be found (bug #27987). It now uses LowerCaseFilter
|
|
(bug #18410) (Daniel Naber via Otis, Erik)
|
|
|
|
2. Fixed a few bugs in the file format documentation. (cutting)
|
|
|
|
|
|
1.4 RC1
|
|
|
|
1. Changed the format of the .tis file, so that:
|
|
|
|
- it has a format version number, which makes it easier to
|
|
back-compatibly change file formats in the future.
|
|
|
|
- the term count is now stored as a long. This was the one aspect
|
|
of the Lucene's file formats which limited index size.
|
|
|
|
- a few internal index parameters are now stored in the index, so
|
|
that they can (in theory) now be changed from index to index,
|
|
although there is not yet an API to do so.
|
|
|
|
These changes are back compatible. The new code can read old
|
|
indexes. But old code will not be able read new indexes. (cutting)
|
|
|
|
2. Added an optimized implementation of TermDocs.skipTo(). A skip
|
|
table is now stored for each term in the .frq file. This only
|
|
adds a percent or two to overall index size, but can substantially
|
|
speedup many searches. (cutting)
|
|
|
|
3. Restructured the Scorer API and all Scorer implementations to take
|
|
advantage of an optimized TermDocs.skipTo() implementation. In
|
|
particular, PhraseQuerys and conjunctive BooleanQuerys are
|
|
faster when one clause has substantially fewer matches than the
|
|
others. (A conjunctive BooleanQuery is a BooleanQuery where all
|
|
clauses are required.) (cutting)
|
|
|
|
4. Added new class ParallelMultiSearcher. Combined with
|
|
RemoteSearchable this makes it easy to implement distributed
|
|
search systems. (Jean-Francois Halleux via cutting)
|
|
|
|
5. Added support for hit sorting. Results may now be sorted by any
|
|
indexed field. For details see the javadoc for
|
|
Searcher#search(Query, Sort). (Tim Jones via Cutting)
|
|
|
|
6. Changed FSDirectory to auto-create a full directory tree that it
|
|
needs by using mkdirs() instead of mkdir(). (Mladen Turk via Otis)
|
|
|
|
7. Added a new span-based query API. This implements, among other
|
|
things, nested phrases. See javadocs for details. (Doug Cutting)
|
|
|
|
8. Added new method Query.getSimilarity(Searcher), and changed
|
|
scorers to use it. This permits one to subclass a Query class so
|
|
that it can specify its own Similarity implementation, perhaps
|
|
one that delegates through that of the Searcher. (Julien Nioche
|
|
via Cutting)
|
|
|
|
9. Added MultiReader, an IndexReader that combines multiple other
|
|
IndexReaders. (Cutting)
|
|
|
|
10. Added support for term vectors. See Field#isTermVectorStored().
|
|
(Grant Ingersoll, Cutting & Dmitry)
|
|
|
|
11. Fixed the old bug with escaping of special characters in query
|
|
strings: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=24665
|
|
(Jean-Francois Halleux via Otis)
|
|
|
|
12. Added support for overriding default values for the following,
|
|
using system properties:
|
|
- default commit lock timeout
|
|
- default maxFieldLength
|
|
- default maxMergeDocs
|
|
- default mergeFactor
|
|
- default minMergeDocs
|
|
- default write lock timeout
|
|
(Otis)
|
|
|
|
13. Changed QueryParser.jj to allow '-' and '+' within tokens:
|
|
http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=27491
|
|
(Morus Walter via Otis)
|
|
|
|
14. Changed so that the compound index format is used by default.
|
|
This makes indexing a bit slower, but vastly reduces the chances
|
|
of file handle problems. (Cutting)
|
|
|
|
|
|
1.3 final
|
|
|
|
1. Added catch of BooleanQuery$TooManyClauses in QueryParser to
|
|
throw ParseException instead. (Erik Hatcher)
|
|
|
|
2. Fixed a NullPointerException in Query.explain(). (Doug Cutting)
|
|
|
|
3. Added a new method IndexReader.setNorm(), that permits one to
|
|
alter the boosting of fields after an index is created.
|
|
|
|
4. Distinguish between the final position and length when indexing a
|
|
field. The length is now defined as the total number of tokens,
|
|
instead of the final position, as it was previously. Length is
|
|
used for score normalization (Similarity.lengthNorm()) and for
|
|
controlling memory usage (IndexWriter.maxFieldLength). In both of
|
|
these cases, the total number of tokens is a better value to use
|
|
than the final token position. Position is used in phrase
|
|
searching (see PhraseQuery and Token.setPositionIncrement()).
|
|
|
|
5. Fix StandardTokenizer's handling of CJK characters (Chinese,
|
|
Japanese and Korean ideograms). Previously contiguous sequences
|
|
were combined in a single token, which is not very useful. Now
|
|
each ideogram generates a separate token, which is more useful.
|
|
|
|
|
|
1.3 RC3
|
|
|
|
1. Added minMergeDocs in IndexWriter. This can be raised to speed
|
|
indexing without altering the number of files, but only using more
|
|
memory. (Julien Nioche via Otis)
|
|
|
|
2. Fix bug #24786, in query rewriting. (bschneeman via Cutting)
|
|
|
|
3. Fix bug #16952, in demo HTML parser, skip comments in
|
|
javascript. (Christoph Goller)
|
|
|
|
4. Fix bug #19253, in demo HTML parser, add whitespace as needed to
|
|
output (Daniel Naber via Christoph Goller)
|
|
|
|
5. Fix bug #24301, in demo HTML parser, long titles no longer
|
|
hang things. (Christoph Goller)
|
|
|
|
6. Fix bug #23534, Replace use of file timestamp of segments file
|
|
with an index version number stored in the segments file. This
|
|
resolves problems when running on file systems with low-resolution
|
|
timestamps, e.g., HFS under MacOS X. (Christoph Goller)
|
|
|
|
7. Fix QueryParser so that TokenMgrError is not thrown, only
|
|
ParseException. (Erik Hatcher)
|
|
|
|
8. Fix some bugs introduced by change 11 of RC2. (Christoph Goller)
|
|
|
|
9. Fixed a problem compiling TestRussianStem. (Christoph Goller)
|
|
|
|
10. Cleaned up some build stuff. (Erik Hatcher)
|
|
|
|
|
|
1.3 RC2
|
|
|
|
1. Added getFieldNames(boolean) to IndexReader, SegmentReader, and
|
|
SegmentsReader. (Julien Nioche via otis)
|
|
|
|
2. Changed file locking to place lock files in
|
|
System.getProperty("java.io.tmpdir"), where all users are
|
|
permitted to write files. This way folks can open and correctly
|
|
lock indexes which are read-only to them.
|
|
|
|
3. IndexWriter: added a new method, addDocument(Document, Analyzer),
|
|
permitting one to easily use different analyzers for different
|
|
documents in the same index.
|
|
|
|
4. Minor enhancements to FuzzyTermEnum.
|
|
(Christoph Goller via Otis)
|
|
|
|
5. PriorityQueue: added insert(Object) method and adjusted IndexSearcher
|
|
and MultiIndexSearcher to use it.

|
|
|
6. Fixed a bug in IndexWriter that returned incorrect docCount().
|
|
(Christoph Goller via Otis)
|
|
|
|
7. Fixed SegmentsReader to eliminate the confusing and slightly different
|
|
behaviour of TermEnum when dealing with an enumeration of all terms,
|
|
versus an enumeration starting from a specific term.
|
|
This patch also fixes incorrect term document frequences when the same term
|
|
is present in multiple segments.
|
|
(Christoph Goller via Otis)
|
|
|
|
8. Added CachingWrapperFilter and PerFieldAnalyzerWrapper. (Erik Hatcher)
|
|
|
|
9. Added support for the new "compound file" index format (Dmitry
|
|
Serebrennikov)
|
|
|
|
10. Added Locale setting to QueryParser, for use by date range parsing.
|
|
|
|
11. Changed IndexReader so that it can be subclassed by classes
|
|
outside of its package. Previously it had package-private
|
|
abstract methods. Also modified the index merging code so that it
|
|
can work on an arbitrary IndexReader implementation, and added a
|
|
new method, IndexWriter.addIndexes(IndexReader[]), to take
|
|
advantage of this. (cutting)
|
|
|
|
12. Added a limit to the number of clauses which may be added to a
|
|
BooleanQuery. The default limit is 1024 clauses. This should
|
|
stop most OutOfMemoryExceptions by prefix, wildcard and fuzzy
|
|
queries which run amok. (cutting)
|
|
|
|
13. Add new method: IndexReader.undeleteAll(). This undeletes all
|
|
deleted documents which still remain in the index. (cutting)
|
|
|
|
|
|
1.3 RC1
|
|
|
|
1. Fixed PriorityQueue's clear() method.
|
|
Fix for bug 9454, http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=9454
|
|
(Matthijs Bomhoff via otis)
|
|
|
|
2. Changed StandardTokenizer.jj grammar for EMAIL tokens.
|
|
Fix for bug 9015, http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=9015
|
|
(Dale Anson via otis)
|
|
|
|
3. Added the ability to disable lock creation by using disableLuceneLocks
|
|
system property. This is useful for read-only media, such as CD-ROMs.
|
|
(otis)
|
|
|
|
4. Added id method to Hits to be able to access the index global id.
|
|
Required for sorting options.
|
|
(carlson)
|
|
|
|
5. Added support for new range query syntax to QueryParser.jj.
|
|
(briangoetz)
|
|
|
|
6. Added the ability to retrieve HTML documents' META tag values to
|
|
HTMLParser.jj.
|
|
(Mark Harwood via otis)
|
|
|
|
7. Modified QueryParser to make it possible to programmatically specify the
|
|
default Boolean operator (OR or AND).
|
|
(Péter Halácsy via otis)
|
|
|
|
8. Made many search methods and classes non-final, per requests.
|
|
This includes IndexWriter and IndexSearcher, among others.
|
|
(cutting)
|
|
|
|
9. Added class RemoteSearchable, providing support for remote
|
|
searching via RMI. The test class RemoteSearchableTest.java
|
|
provides an example of how this can be used. (cutting)
|
|
|
|
10. Added PhrasePrefixQuery (and supporting MultipleTermPositions). The
|
|
test class TestPhrasePrefixQuery provides the usage example.
|
|
(Anders Nielsen via otis)
|
|
|
|
11. Changed the German stemming algorithm to ignore case while
|
|
stripping. The new algorithm is faster and produces more equal
|
|
stems from nouns and verbs derived from the same word.
|
|
(gschwarz)
|
|
|
|
12. Added support for boosting the score of documents and fields via
|
|
the new methods Document.setBoost(float) and Field.setBoost(float).
|
|
|
|
Note: This changes the encoding of an indexed value. Indexes
|
|
should be re-created from scratch in order for search scores to
|
|
be correct. With the new code and an old index, searches will
|
|
yield very large scores for shorter fields, and very small scores
|
|
for longer fields. Once the index is re-created, scores will be
|
|
as before. (cutting)
|
|
|
|
13. Added new method Token.setPositionIncrement().
|
|
|
|
This permits, for the purpose of phrase searching, placing
|
|
multiple terms in a single position. This is useful with
|
|
stemmers that produce multiple possible stems for a word.
|
|
|
|
This also permits the introduction of gaps between terms, so that
|
|
terms which are adjacent in a token stream will not be matched by
|
|
and exact phrase query. This makes it possible, e.g., to build
|
|
an analyzer where phrases are not matched over stop words which
|
|
have been removed.
|
|
|
|
Finally, repeating a token with an increment of zero can also be
|
|
used to boost scores of matches on that token. (cutting)
|
|
|
|
14. Added new Filter class, QueryFilter. This constrains search
|
|
results to only match those which also match a provided query.
|
|
Results are cached, so that searches after the first on the same
|
|
index using this filter are very fast.
|
|
|
|
This could be used, for example, with a RangeQuery on a formatted
|
|
date field to implement date filtering. One could re-use a
|
|
single QueryFilter that matches, e.g., only documents modified
|
|
within the last week. The QueryFilter and RangeQuery would only
|
|
need to be reconstructed once per day. (cutting)
|
|
|
|
15. Added a new IndexWriter method, getAnalyzer(). This returns the
|
|
analyzer used when adding documents to this index. (cutting)
|
|
|
|
16. Fixed a bug with IndexReader.lastModified(). Before, document
|
|
deletion did not update this. Now it does. (cutting)
|
|
|
|
17. Added Russian Analyzer.
|
|
(Boris Okner via otis)
|
|
|
|
18. Added a public, extensible scoring API. For details, see the
|
|
javadoc for org.apache.lucene.search.Similarity.
|
|
|
|
19. Fixed return of Hits.id() from float to int. (Terry Steichen via Peter).
|
|
|
|
20. Added getFieldNames() to IndexReader and Segment(s)Reader classes.
|
|
(Peter Mularien via otis)
|
|
|
|
21. Added getFields(String) and getValues(String) methods.

|
|
|
|
22. Revised internal search APIs. Changes include:
|
|
|
|
a. Queries are no longer modified during a search. This makes
|
|
it possible, e.g., to reuse the same query instance with
|
|
multiple indexes from multiple threads.
|
|
|
|
b. Term-expanding queries (e.g. PrefixQuery, WildcardQuery,
|
|
etc.) now work correctly with MultiSearcher, fixing bugs 12619
|
|
and 12667.
|
|
|
|
c. Boosting BooleanQuery's now works, and is supported by the
|
|
query parser (problem reported by Lee Mallabone). Thus a query
|
|
like "(+foo +bar)^2 +baz" is now supported and equivalent to
|
|
"(+foo^2 +bar^2) +baz".
|
|
|
|
d. New method: Query.rewrite(IndexReader). This permits a
|
|
query to re-write itself as an alternate, more primitive query.
|
|
Most of the term-expanding query classes (PrefixQuery,
|
|
WildcardQuery, etc.) are now implemented using this method.
|
|
|
|
e. New method: Searchable.explain(Query q, int doc). This
|
|
returns an Explanation instance that describes how a particular
|
|
document is scored against a query. An explanation can be
|
|
displayed as either plain text, with the toString() method, or
|
|
as HTML, with the toHtml() method. Note that computing an
|
|
explanation is as expensive as executing the query over the
|
|
entire index. This is intended to be used in developing
|
|
Similarity implementations, and, for good performance, should
|
|
not be displayed with every hit.
|
|
|
|
f. Scorer and Weight are public, not package protected. It now
|
|
possible for someone to write a Scorer implementation that is
|
|
not in the org.apache.lucene.search package. This is still
|
|
fairly advanced programming, and I don't expect anyone to do
|
|
this anytime soon, but at least now it is possible.
|
|
|
|
g. Added public accessors to the primitive query classes
|
|
(TermQuery, PhraseQuery and BooleanQuery), permitting access to
|
|
their terms and clauses.
|
|
|
|
Caution: These are extensive changes and they have not yet been
|
|
tested extensively. Bug reports are appreciated.
|
|
(cutting)
|
|
|
|
23. Added convenience RAMDirectory constructors taking File and String
|
|
arguments, for easy FSDirectory to RAMDirectory conversion.
|
|
(otis)
|
|
|
|
24. Added code for manual renaming of files in FSDirectory, since it
|
|
has been reported that java.io.File's renameTo(File) method sometimes
|
|
fails on Windows JVMs.
|
|
(Matt Tucker via otis)
|
|
|
|
25. Refactored QueryParser to make it easier for people to extend it.
|
|
Added the ability to automatically lower-case Wildcard terms in
|
|
the QueryParser.
|
|
(Tatu Saloranta via otis)
|
|
|
|
|
|
1.2 RC6
|
|
|
|
1. Changed QueryParser.jj to have "?" be a special character which
|
|
allowed it to be used as a wildcard term. Updated TestWildcard
|
|
unit test also. (Ralf Hettesheimer via carlson)
|
|
|
|
1.2 RC5
|
|
|
|
1. Renamed build.properties to default.properties and updated
|
|
the BUILD.txt document to describe how to override the
|
|
default.property settings without having to edit the file. This
|
|
brings the build process closer to Scarab's build process.
|

9. Fixed error in offset issue in GermanStemFilter - Bug #7412
|
|
(Rodrigo Reyes, via otis)
|

10. Added unit tests for wildcard search and DateFilter (otis)
|
|
|
|
11. Allow co-existence of indexed and non-indexed fields with the same name
|
|
(cutting/casper, via otis)
|
|
|
|
12. Add escape character to query parser.
|
|
(briangoetz)
|
|

13. Applied a patch that ensures that searches that use DateFilter
|
|
don't throw an exception when no matches are found. (David Smiley, via

1.2 RC3
|
|
|
|
1. IndexWriter: fixed a bug where adding an optimized index to an
|
|
empty index failed. This was encountered using addIndexes to copy
|
|
a RAMDirectory index to an FSDirectory.
|
|
|
|
2. RAMDirectory: fixed a bug where RAMInputStream could not read
|
|
across more than across a single buffer boundary.
|
|
|
|
3. Fix query parser so it accepts queries with unicode characters.
|
|
(briangoetz)
|
|
|
|
4. Fix query parser so that PrefixQuery is used in preference to
|
|
WildcardQuery when there's only an asterisk at the end of the
|
|
term. Previously PrefixQuery would never be used.
|
|
|
|
5. Fix tests so they compile; fix ant file so it compiles tests
|
|
properly. Added test cases for Analyzers and PriorityQueue.
|
|
|
|
6. Updated demos, added Getting Started documentation. (acoliver)
|

8. Removed JavaCC from source distribution for copyright reasons.
|
|
Folks must now download this separately from metamata in order to
|

|
|
- added sources to distribution
|
|
- removed broken build scripts and libraries from distribution
|
|
- SegmentsReader: fixed potential race condition

- FSDirectory: fixed so that getDirectory(xxx,true) correctly
|
|
erases the directory contents, even when the directory
|
|
has already been accessed in this JVM.
|
|
- RangeQuery: Fix issue where an inclusive range query would
|
|
include the nearest term in the index above a non-existant
|
|
specified upper term.
|
|
- SegmentTermEnum: Fix NullPointerException in clone() method
|
|
when the Term is null.
|
|
- JDK 1.1 compatibility fix: disabled lock files for JDK 1.1,
|
|
since they rely on a feature added in JDK 1.2.

1.0, 2000-10-04
|
|
|
|
This release fixes a few serious bugs and also includes some
|
|
performance optimizations, a stemmer, and a few other minor
|
|
enhancements.
|
|
|
|
0.04 2000-04-19
|
|
|
|
Lucene now includes a grammar-based tokenizer, StandardTokenizer.
|
|
|
|
The only tokenizer included in the previous release (LetterTokenizer)
|
|
identified terms consisting entirely of alphabetic characters. The
|
|
new tokenizer uses a regular-expression grammar to identify more
|
|
complex classes of terms, including numbers, acronyms, email
|
|
addresses, etc.
|
|
|
|
StandardTokenizer serves two purposes:
|
|
|
|
1. It is a much better, general purpose tokenizer for use by
|
|
applications as is.
|
|
|
|
The easiest way for applications to start using
|
|
StandardTokenizer is to use StandardAnalyzer.
|
|
|
|
2. It provides a good example of grammar-based tokenization.
|
|
|
|
If an application has special tokenization requirements, it can
|
|
implement a custom tokenizer by copying the directory containing
|
|
the new tokenizer into the application and modifying it
|
|
accordingly.

0.01, 2000-03-30
|
|
|
|
First open source release.
|
|
|
|
The code has been re-organized into a new package and directory
|
|
structure for this release. It builds OK, but has not been tested
|
|
beyond that since the re-organization.
