Hi guys,

I am using hibernate search with a single unsharded index.

I am implementing hibernate shards and want to use a sharded session factory to create my full text session.

This does not really appear to work so well. Is it supposed to be supported?

By subclassing the FullTextSearchImpl I can create the EventSource and SessionImplemetor using 1 shard EG ssi.getSessionFactory().getSessionFactories().get(0).

This will predictably get me my hits from the index but will only populate the list of returned object with what exists in the shard reference that I passed in in the constructor.

Any ideas on a better approach as it appears that SessionImplementor and ShardedSessionImplementor are different beasts.

Thanks

exactly the same issue I am getting, so I am just linking the two posts.

I tried to created a shard aware class from the following classes
- FullTextSession
- FullTextQuery
- AbstractQuery

I wont go into detail here and you have made the correct observation that it will be a complex issue to resolve. I need to resolve it so I woul appreciate any input as to how to approach the problem or if there has been any work done on the projects to support this?

I resolved my issue with FullTextSession and a Sharded Session.
