[jira] Commented: (HBASE-2107) Upgrading Lucene 2.2 to Lucene 3.0.0

["Kay Kay (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-2107?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12798853#action_12798853 ] 

Kay Kay commented on HBASE-2107:
--------------------------------

Deprecated methods / removals: 

* Field.TOKENIZED renamed as Field.ANALYZED (with the former removed altogether ). 
* IndexWriter ctor.   IndexWrite(String,Analyzer,boolean) removed in favor of Directory based input. In our case - we prefer file-based Directory implementation.

> HBase has an utility to export columns as Lucene indices. (o.a.h.hbase.mapreduce.BuildTableIndex ) . 
> This patch increases the version in libraries.properties and addresses some deprecations towards moving it. 
> Rationale for upgradation:
> ====================
> A lot has been happening in the Lucene since 2.2, with improved performance and focus on NRT (Near Real Time search) happening recently.  Hence - we need to keep up with the same and make the utility publish indices for the new version. 
> Caveats:
> =======
> Index created by Lucene 3.0 is *not backward-compatible* with Lucene 2.2 code.  In other words - as part of this upgradation - indices need to be created all over again and the library interacting with the index ( readers / searchers ) need to be upgraded to the new version as well.
