Susbcribe to MassIndexer completion

Hi,

Is it possible to subscribe to the MassIndexer completion event? If you choose the non-blocking operation, you have no way of knowing when it has completed.
If you choose blocking, you may run into stuff like front end webserver timeouts etc.

It is useful for things like cache refreshing and, since the filter option isn't there yet: removing stuff from the index that shouldn't be there.

Kind regards,

Marc

Hi Marc,
yes you can do that making use of the MassIndexerProgressMonitor interface, see also

Code:

/**
* Override the default <code>MassIndexerProgressMonitor</code>.
 * 
* @param monitor this instance will receive updates about the massindexing progress.
* @return <tt>this</tt> for method chaining
*/
org.hibernate.search.MassIndexer.progressMonitor(MassIndexerProgressMonitor)

You could extend org.hibernate.search.impl.SimpleIndexingProgressMonitor and override the method indexingCompleted() (or just implement your own MassIndexerProgressMonitor)
