Lucene 2.9 RC1 now available for testing

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Hello Lucene users,

On behalf of the Lucene dev community (a growing community far larger
than just the committers) I would like to announce the first release
candidate for Lucene 2.9.

Please download and check it out – take it for a spin and kick the
tires. If all goes well, we hope to release the final version of
Lucene 2.9 in a little over a week.

While we generally try and maintain full backwards compatibility
between major versions, Lucene 2.9 has a variety of breaks that are
spelled out in the 'Changes in backwards compatibility policy' section
of CHANGES.txt.

We recommend that you recompile your application with Lucene 2.9
rather than attempting to “drop” it in. This will alert you to any
issues you may have to fix if you are affected by one of the backward
compatibility breaks. As always, its a really good idea to thoroughly
read CHANGES.txt before upgrading. Also, remember that this is a
release candidate, and not the final Lucene 2.9 release.

Lucene 2.9 comes with a bevy of new features, including:

  Per segment searching and caching (can lead to much faster reopen
among other things)

  Near real-time search capabilities added to IndexWriter

  New queries, including NumericRangeQuery and NumericRangeFilter –
fast, highly scalable alternatives to RangeQuery/RangeFilter for
numeric searches.

  Smarter, more scalable multi-term queries (wildcard, range, etc)

  A freshly optimized Collector/Scorer API

  Improved Unicode support

  A new Attribute based TokenStream API

  A new QueryParser framework in contrib with a core QueryParser
replacement impl included.

  ….

And many, many more features, bug fixes, optimizations, and various
improvements. You can find the full list of changes here:

Text version:

Many changes have also occurred in Lucene's contrib area:

Be sure to report back with any issues you find!

Thanks,

The dist build issues have been addressed and RC2 will include the
missing analyzer and db contrib binaries.

Unfortunately, people.apache.org is not up at the moment
(https://blogs.apache.org/infra/entry/apache_org_downtime_initial_report),
but I will put up Lucene 2.9 RC2 when it comes back up.

Apologies - you are correct - contrib/analyzers is in src but not the
jar distrib. I will address whatever is up with the build process and
put up another RC when apache servers are back up.

Thanks for pointing this out,
