Fwd: Lucene 2.0.0 release available
Below is a recent message from the Java dev list for Lucene. As it states,
this is mostly a bugfix release against the 1.9 code.
The development path that's been suggested is that we develop the
1.9release on the
1.1 Framework and that we would cut over to the 2.0 Framework with the
2.0Lucene release. I believe this is fine, but we need to begin
porting the
Java 2.0 release soon. The Java 1.9 release was considered complete some
time last fall. The time divide between the Java release and our C# port is
growing and is getting longer.
Not to take away from the 1.9 efforts on the 1.1 Framework, I'm going to
proceed on porting the Java 2.0 release to C# under the 2.0 Framework. If
there are a substantial number of bugfixes in the 2.0 release, we should
make use of that as well.
Questions or comments welcome.
cheers,
jeff r.

Subject: Lucene 2.0.0 release available
Date: Samstag 27 Mai 2006 05:57
From: Doug Cutting <cu...@apache.org>
To: java-dev@lucene.apache.org
Release 2.0.0 of Lucene is now available from:
http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/lucene/java/
This is mostly a bugfix release from release 1.9.1. Note however that
deprecated 1.x features have now been removed. Any code that compiles
against Lucene 1.9.1 without deprecation warnings should work without
further changes with any 2.x release.
The detailed change log is at:

I don't want to detract from the work with the 1.9 release, but I do need to
work forward with the 2.0 Framework. Since Lucene 1.9 is based on the
1.1Framework, I would be starting from scratch with a
2.0 Framework port. Seems like the recent Lucene 2.0 release is a good
place to start.
As far as the differences between 1.9 and 2.0, there is a changelist from
the Java community for the version-to-version difference. I'm not sure how
similar the Java changelist is relative to the C# 1.9 code and any ported
version of Lucene 2.0. Aside from that, there are the differences that are
manifested due to the 1.1 to 2.0 Framework transition.
I have no desire to see this thing spin off the way other efforts have in
the past. When the community is ready to migrate to the 2.0 release and
migrate to the 2.0 .Net Framework, I will hopefully be able to contribute
more effectively at that time.

Interesting discussion. So Jeff will be doing privately something which is
aimed on .Net 2, George is focusing on Lucene 1.9 which is Net
1.1compliant. Are these efforts are going to be merged somehow under
Apache ?
Or another http://searchblackbox.com/ will emerge ? My personal interest in
.Net2 only. For users , like me , it would be interesting to know apart
from native compression what would the list of differences between 1.9 and 2
.
Java Lucene project usually publishes this info.
I have been using 1.9 as is under .Net 2 without problems, but indexes are
just quite small in my case.
I agree with Jeff that general organisation needs to be improved. Searching
for Aroush in C# code and making good changes assumes not only dedication
to participate , but some real skill without over-confidence.
For e.g, I am not happy with numerous warnings due to broken xml comments
after conversion from JavaDoc. If I were to fix them somehow ( manually or
programmatically ) , I have no idea whether certain generator is supposed
to overwrite my changes or it might be possible to make this change
permanent.

I understand your frustration, but if the community is not reaching out to
participate, then the approach needs to improve. I'm certain the ASF can
help, but the logistical stuff has to be there. For example, we need the
code base under version control and the how for participation needs to be
spelled out. I'm not an open source community guru, but my participation on
other projects has certainly increased because I understood what I could do
and how to go about it. Right now, our sales pitch consists of "please
help" and it's not moving anyone to action. Just a suggestion, but maybe a
more granular list of what's needed to finish 1.9 might improve
participation.
As for my own participation, I have cycles to put into review, but not with
the 1.1 Framework. I have other projects that rely on Lucene.Net and those
projects use the 2.0 Framework, so strictly speaking for myself, I have an
interest in that side of the equation. It doesn't help the crowd with the
1.9 release, but neither does the 1.9 release help me in my short-term
needs. I've run the 1.4.3 version of Lucene.Net under both the
1.1Framework and the
2.0 Framework, and the differences just in the Framework code are not
insubstantial.
It doesn't have to be an all-or-nothing, top-down directive approach. For
as many people as there are on the 1.1 Framework, I've talked to plenty
others who have migrated to the 2.0 Framework. For us, the sooner we can
get the latest release up and running, the better.
So as to not dissuade attention from the 1.9 release, I'll keep any
conversation about the 2.0 release and the 2.0 Framework off the list.

RE: Lucene 2.0.0 release available
Posted by George Aroush <ge...@aroush.net>.
Hi Jeff and all,
I was the central point because there was no one else and we needed a way to
coordinate the project. With 1.3 and 1.4 when I asked for help, folks asked
which CS files they can take on and they delivered. For 1.9 release, (which
by the way was first released back on May 26, 2005 -- yes, I did say "2005")
despite my repeated calls for help, non were made. So I don't think people
were ready to jump in, they just weren't around, busy or lost interest; I
hope things will change now that Lucene.Net is at ASF but so far that hasn't
been the case so I am disappointed.
Now coming back to your suggestion of working on 2.0. If you have the
cycles to review the 2.0 code base, why not put those cycles to finish off
1.9? Anything that was fixed in Java's release of 1.9 must be fixed in
Lucene.Net 1.9 release -- in fact, I would suggest that we look at 1.9.1
release. Beside, the Java release of 2.0 is just compliant with Java 5.0.
The value for us to have 1.9 (or 1.9.1) release is the support for .NET 1.1.
Not releasing 1.9 is like Java Lucene 1.9 not support Java 1.3 (did I got
the Java ver right?!) In addition, keep in mind that Lucene.Net 1.9 isn't
that far off from being "final". Thus, if we get 1.9 out, it shouldn't be
hard to get 2.0 out.

George -
I hear your concern about the 1.9 release not being finished. I will take
point with you on the reason that it's so far behind the Java version. It
wasn't until recently (February) that the code was posted (the Alpha
version). The lists with Apache didn't come online until April. Even as
such, the process of evaluating the code, finding a bug or improvement,
making a suggestion and returning it to the community has really been
nothing more than emailing you. I know you're busy like all the rest of us,
but this process had to run directly through yourself for a very long time.
I frankly believe that many people were very ready to jump in and get the
thing rolling, but were frustrated at the process and the bottlenecks that
came with it and gave up. Sour grapes to the community response because
you're now ready for participation is not the fault of the community.
However, that's not my reason for suggesting review of the 2.0 Java
codebase. The fact of the matter is that the time difference between the
Java release and the C# port is growing. The value in that time difference
is knowledge of known issues with the prior release (1.9) and how to deal
with it (fixes in 2.0). The Java mailing list has already identified bugs
to be fixed with their release marked 2.0. If there are bugs in the
1.9release of Java, chances are those same bugs will appear in the C# port.
The Java community has already worked those out, and I'd like to take
advantage of those improvements. Additionally, looking at a C# port under
the 2.0 Framework has significant differences in things like threading and
exception handling, as well as taking advantage of performance improvements
like generics.
I will echo George's request to finish the 1.9 release. I'm not sure
there's any value in the claim of a 1.9 release any more than a non-complete
1.9 release. Nonetheless, I've received some offers to help review the
2.0release, and will respond to those people privately.

RE: Lucene 2.0.0 release available
Posted by George Aroush <ge...@aroush.net>.
Hi Jeff and all,
I was the central point because there was no one else and we needed a way to
coordinate the project. With 1.3 and 1.4 when I asked for help, folks asked
which CS files they can take on and they delivered. For 1.9 release, (which
by the way was first released back on May 26, 2005 -- yes, I did say "2005")
despite my repeated calls for help, non were made. So I don't think people
were ready to jump in, they just weren't around, busy or lost interest; I
hope things will change now that Lucene.Net is at ASF but so far that hasn't
been the case so I am disappointed.
Now coming back to your suggestion of working on 2.0. If you have the
cycles to review the 2.0 code base, why not put those cycles to finish off
1.9? Anything that was fixed in Java's release of 1.9 must be fixed in
Lucene.Net 1.9 release -- in fact, I would suggest that we look at 1.9.1
release. Beside, the Java release of 2.0 is just compliant with Java 5.0.
The value for us to have 1.9 (or 1.9.1) release is the support for .NET 1.1.
Not releasing 1.9 is like Java Lucene 1.9 not support Java 1.3 (did I got
the Java ver right?!) In addition, keep in mind that Lucene.Net 1.9 isn't
that far off from being "final". Thus, if we get 1.9 out, it shouldn't be
hard to get 2.0 out.

Hi Jeff and all,
We must finish 1.9 before working on 2.0 otherwise, there is no guaranty
that 2.0 will not end up with the same fait as 1.9.
Lets face it, 1.9 has been behind it's Java version release mainly because
despite my repeated call for help to finishing it off (even back at
SourceForge.net) I have yet to receive any help. For 1.9, unlike 1.3 and
1.4 releases, NO ONE, has stepped up and offered to help (except recently
for Eyal's compression code.)
As you can tell, I am frustrated with this. Because despite not getting any
help, I am getting private emails where folks asking me that they want to
become a committer on ASF for Lucene.Net -- when I pointed them to
http://incubator.apache.org/learn/newcommitters.html I don't hear back!!
So please folks, lets first finish off 1.9. Take a look at the current
source code and comment on the lines that I have questions on. Those are
found by searching for the text "Aroush".
This past weekend, I have finished the port of the Test code for 1.9 and it
is running. About 40% of the tests are failing and some were due to bug in
the 1.9 code and the others due to bug in the port of the Test code. In a
day or two I will release code on ASF and again will be asking for help to
finish off 1.9.
To sum-up, I don't support that we do any work on 2.0 until when we have 1.9
done, otherwise, not only will we have an incomplete 1.9 but 2.0 might end
up like 1.9, incomplete -- and thus, we will now have two incomplete
releases instead of one.
1.9 is very close to being "final" -- lets work together to finish it off
and use this opportunity to become a committer on ASF.

Subject: Fwd: Lucene 2.0.0 release available
Below is a recent message from the Java dev list for Lucene. As it states,
this is mostly a bugfix release against the 1.9 code.
The development path that's been suggested is that we develop the 1.9release
on the
1.1 Framework and that we would cut over to the 2.0 Framework with the
2.0Lucene release. I believe this is fine, but we need to begin porting the
Java 2.0 release soon. The Java 1.9 release was considered complete some
time last fall. The time divide between the Java release and our C# port is
growing and is getting longer.
Not to take away from the 1.9 efforts on the 1.1 Framework, I'm going to
proceed on porting the Java 2.0 release to C# under the 2.0 Framework. If
there are a substantial number of bugfixes in the 2.0 release, we should
make use of that as well.
Questions or comments welcome.
cheers,
jeff r.

Release 2.0.0 of Lucene is now available from:
http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/lucene/java/
This is mostly a bugfix release from release 1.9.1. Note however that
deprecated 1.x features have now been removed. Any code that compiles
against Lucene 1.9.1 without deprecation warnings should work without
further changes with any 2.x release.

Hi Jeff and all,
We must finish 1.9 before working on 2.0 otherwise, there is no guaranty
that 2.0 will not end up with the same fait as 1.9.
Lets face it, 1.9 has been behind it's Java version release mainly because
despite my repeated call for help to finishing it off (even back at
SourceForge.net) I have yet to receive any help. For 1.9, unlike 1.3 and
