Hello

I have a working integration of Hibernate Search using annotations in my project. I have a Post domain object which exposes a @DocumentId to Lucene but all other fields are normal fields and are not indexed.

In a transaction, I am executing post.setViews(number) and then a session.merge() afterwards to persist. I am seeing here though is that post-commit the index is updated even though no indexed fields have changed. Note that the primarykey/@DocumentId of course does not change.

Ideally I think that the index would only be updated when the indexed content of the domain object was also updated. Is this functionality not yet in Hibernate Search, or have I misconfigured something?

thanks

Ah interesting idea. I am not usre it's possible but definitively, it worth a try (reusing the Hibernate dirty detector)

Question for you, what's the point of indexing the id and no other field?

Heh, good question! There is no point, actually. The class was marked for indexing, but the fields to index had not yet actually been implemented. We saw the behavior before we got to that point. Thanks for creating the JIRA issue.
