Hi,

it seems to me that I have to use Hibernate Search 3.0.1 because we're using JBoss 4.2.3/Hibernate Core 3.2.4.
Unfortunately I could neither find MassIndexer nor FullTextEntityManager.flushToIndexes there. How should I perform an effective index rebuild then? Any alternatives?


Thanks!

Hi,

Mass indexing and flush to index is indeed not available in 3.0.1 of Search. Best bet is to use the "old" recommended way of indexing using a scrollable result set - see batch indexing.

Personally, I would try to upgrade the Hibernate Core and Search dependencies. Unless there are any special reasons not to ;-)

To test indexing/searching I'm in need of something like flushToIndexes(), too.

The transaction must be rolled back within my test infrastructure. Thus, I'm not able to get any search results due to the missing commit.

Is there a way to trigger the Lucene worker to flush changes to the index?
I've tried:

Hi,

you could use asynchronous indexing see the hibernate.search.worker.execution property. I personally would, however, just commit your test data. In production you probably also work in synchronous work and you want to keep test and production environment as close as possible. Why do you need to rollback? Can you not just commit the data and then in a tearDown step make sure that the database and index gets reset? This is how we do our testing within Hibernate Search as well. We use in memory databases and Lucene directory provider which make it even easier to build a clean test harness.

We had this question about transaction rollbacks only recently on the forum and it always comes down to implementing a suitable test harness framework.

@hardy.ferentschik:
Thank you once again. It worked in my test environment when using asynchronous indexing. I only had to ensure that hibernate-search*.jar appears in classpath before hibernate-annotations*.jar and register event listeners manually.
However, in JBoss environment I didn't get it to work. Finally, I tried upgrading Hibernate as you recommended, see here: https://forum.hibernate.org/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=1006874.
