Hi,
I'm working in a multilinguisme environnement and I'm using Hibernate search to index some documents.
Those documents are in different languages.
And at the end I want one index per language ex: index_en, index_fr,index_bg,...
if I have 23 index I need to create 23 classes with the annotation @index(name="index_xx")?
There is no other way to solve this?
Thanks in advence.

Hi,

Your description of your requirements are quite vague, but why would you like to split the indexes? Do you want to search over all these indexes at the same time? Why can you not just index all data into one single index? However, you are correct that the index name is defined on entity level.

Maybe you could provide a little bit more information about your use case.

I have a class like this one:

public class Document {

private String path;

private String lang;

private String content;
}

And at the end I need to have one index by laguague:

index_en
index_fr
....

For the moment I have add this annotation to the class Document
@Indexed (name="index_en") so each Document I retrieved are stored in the index 'index_en'.
I found a solution: I create one class per language who extends de class document.
So at the end I have the same number of class as I have language (if I have 23 languages I have 23 different class who do the same things)
My question his is it possible to configure hibernate to have only one class?
If I don't index all data into one single index it's because if the index is corrupted I only need to re-index one part and not the entire index

Hi,

I guess your subclass approach is possible, but is this a good design? You are basically hard coding the language into the class name. This way you are loosing generality. Is this worth the benefit of having separate index files? You can always reindex selectively if the index is out of date.

Using the index sharding feature should solve your problem.
not sure why you want to split the index through
