  (Nhat Nguyen, Mayya Sharipova)

Release 8.10.0 [2021-09-27]

API Changes (5)
1. LUCENE-9962: DrillSideways allows sub-classes to provide "drill down" FacetsCollectors. They may provide a null collector if they choose to bypass "drill down" facet collection.
  (Greg Miller)
2. LUCENE-9902: Change the getValue method from IntTaxonomyFacets to be protected instead of private. Users can now access the count of an ordinal directly without constructing an extra FacetLabel. Also use variable length arguments for the getOrdinal call in TaxonomyReader.
  (Gautam Worah)
3. LUCENE-10036: Replaced the ScoreCachingWrappingScorer ctor with a static factory method that ensures unnecessary wrapping doesn't occur.
  (Greg Miller)
4. LUCENE-10027: Add a new Directory reader open API from indexCommit and a custom comparator for sorting leaf readers.
  (Mayya Sharipova)
5. LUCENE-7020: TieredMergePolicy#setMaxMergeAtOnceExplicit is deprecated and the number of segments that get merged via explicit merges is unlimited by default.

Improvements (12)
1. LUCENE-9944: Allow DrillSideways users to provide their own CollectorManager without also requiring them to provide an ExecutorService.
  (Greg Miller)
2. LUCENE-9946: Support for multi-value fields in LongRangeFacetCounts and DoubleRangeFacetCounts.
  (Greg Miller)
3. LUCENE-9965: Added QueryProfilerIndexSearcher and ProfilerCollector to support debugging query execution strategy and timing.
  (Jack Conradson, Julie Tibshirani)
4. LUCENE-9981: Operations.getCommonSuffix/Prefix(Automaton) is now much more efficient, from a worst case exponential down to quadratic cost in the number of states + transitions in the Automaton. These methods no longer use the costly determinize method, removing the risk of TooComplexToDeterminizeException
  (Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
5. LUCENE-9981: Operations.determinize now throws TooComplexToDeterminizeException based on too much "effort" spent determinizing rather than a precise state count on the resulting returned automaton, to better handle adversarial cases like det(rev(regexp("(.*a){2000}"))) that spend lots of effort but result in smallish eventual returned automata.
  (Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
6. LUCENE-9983: Stop sorting determinize powersets unnecessarily.
  (Patrick Zhai)
7. LUCENE-9177: ICUNormalizer2CharFilter no longer requires normalization-inert characters as boundaries for incremental processing, vastly improving worst-case performance.
  (Michael Gibney)
8. LUCENE-10030: Lazily evaluate score in DrillSidewaysScorer.doQueryFirstScoring
  (Grigoriy Troitskiy)
9. LUCENE-9945: Extend DrillSideways to support exposing FacetCollectors directly.
  (Greg Miller, Sejal Pawar)
10. LUCENE-10043: Decrease default for LRUQueryCache's skipCacheFactor to 10. This prevents caching a query clause when it is much more expensive than running the top-level query.
  (Julie Tibshirani)
11. LUCENE-5309: Optimize facet counting for single-valued SSDV / StringValueFacetCounts.
  (Greg Miller)
12. LUCENE-9917: The BEST_SPEED compression mode now trades more compression ratio in exchange of faster reads.
  (Adrien Grand)
Optimizations (4)
1. LUCENE-9996: Improved memory efficiency of IndexWriter's RAM buffer, in particular in the case of many fields and many indexing threads.
  (Adrien Grand)
2. LUCENE-10022: Rewrite empty DisjunctionMaxQuery to MatchNoDocsQuery.
  (David Harsha via Julie Tibshirani)
3. LUCENE-10031: Slightly faster segment merging for sorted indices.
  (Adrien Grand)
4. LUCENE-10014: Lucene90DocValuesFormat was using too many bits per value when compressing via gcd, unnecessarily wasting index storage.
  (weizijun)
Bug Fixes (12)
1. LUCENE-9988: Fix DrillSideways correctness bug introduced in LUCENE-9944
  (Greg Miller)
2. LUCENE-9964: Duplicate long values in a document field should only be counted once when using SortedNumericDocValuesFields
  (Gautam Worah)
3. LUCENE-9999: CombinedFieldQuery can fail with an exception when document is missing some fields.
  (Jim Ferenczi, Julie Tibshirani)
4. LUCENE-10020: DocComparator should not skip docs with the same docID on multiple sorts with search after
  (Mayya Sharipova, Julie Tibshirani)
5. LUCENE-10026: Fix CombinedFieldQuery equals and hashCode, which ensures query rewrites don't drop CombinedFieldQuery clauses.
  (Julie Tibshirani)
6. LUCENE-10039: Correct CombinedFieldQuery scoring when there is a single field.
  (Julie Tibshirani)
7. LUCENE-10046: Counting bug fixed in StringValueFacetCounts.
  (Greg Miller)
8. LUCENE-9963: FlattenGraphFilter is now more robust when handling incoming holes in the input token graph
  (Geoff Lawson)
9. LUCENE-10008: Respect ignoreCase in CommonGramsFilterFactory
  (Vigya Sharma)
10. LUCENE-10060: Ensure DrillSidewaysQuery instances never get cached.
  (Greg Miller, Zachary Chen)
11. LUCENE-10081: KoreanTokenizer should check the max backtrace gap on whitespaces.
  (Jim Ferenczi)
12. LUCENE-10106: Sort optimization can wrongly skip the first document of each segment
  (Nhat Nguyen)
Other (1)
1. (No changes)

Release 8.9.0 [2021-06-16]

API Changes (1)
1. LUCENE-9680: IndexWriter#getFieldNames() method added to get fields present in index. This method was removed in LUCENE-8909.
  (Oren Ovadia)
New Features (8)
1. LUCENE-9507: Custom order for leaves in IndexReader and IndexWriter
  (Mayya Sharipova, Mike McCandless, Jim Ferenczi)
2. LUCENE-9575: PatternTypingFilter has been added to allow setting a type attribute on tokens based on a configured set of regular expressions
  (Gus Heck).
3. LUCENE-9572: TypeAsSynonymFilter has been enhanced support ignoring some types, and to allow the generated synonyms to copy some or all flags from the original token
  (Gus Heck).
4. LUCENE-9574 A token filter to drop tokens that match all specified flags.
  (Gus Heck, Uwe Schindler)
5. LUCENE-9537: Added smoothingScore method and default implementation to Scorable abstract class. The smoothing score allows scorers to calculate a score for a document where the search term or subquery is not present. The smoothing score acts like an idf so that documents that do not have terms or subqueries that are more frequent in the index are not penalized as much as documents that do not have less frequent terms or subqueries and prevents scores which are the product or terms or subqueries from going to zero. Added the implementation of the Indri AND and the IndriDirichletSimilarity from the academic Indri search engine: http://www.lemurproject.org/indri.php.
  (Cameron VandenBerg)
6. LUCENE-9694: New tool for creating a deterministic index to enable benchmarking changes on a consistent multi-segment index even when they require re-indexing.
  (Patrick Zhai)
7. LUCENE-9385: Add FacetsConfig option to control which drill-down terms are indexed for a FacetLabel
  (Zachary Chen)
8. LUCENE-9950: New facet counting implementation for general string doc value fields (SortedSetDocValues / SortedDocValues) not created through FacetsConfig
  (Greg Miller)
Improvements (5)
1. LUCENE-9725: BM25FQuery was extended to handle similarities beyond BM25Similarity. It was renamed to CombinedFieldQuery to reflect its more general scope.
  (Julie Tibshirani)
2. LUCENE-9663: Adding compression to terms dict from SortedSet/Sorted DocValues.
  (Jaison Bi via Bruno Roustant)
3. LUCENE-9687: Hunspell support improvements: add API for spell-checking and suggestions, support compound words, fix various behavior differences between Java and C++ implementations, improve performance
  (Peter Gromov, Dawid Weiss)
4. LUCENE-9877: Reduce index size by increasing allowable exceptions in PForUtil from 3 to 7.
  (Greg Miller)

  (Paweł Bugalski)
2. LUCENE-9887: Fixed parameter use in RadixSelector.
  (liupanfeng via Adrien Grand)
3. LUCENE-9958: Fixed performance regression for boolean queries that configure a minimum number of matching clauses.
  (Adrien Grand, Matt Weber)
4. LUCENE-9953: LongValueFacetCounts should count each document at most once when determining the total count for a dimension. Prior to this fix, multi-value docs could contribute a > 1 count to the dimension count.
  (Greg Miller)
5. LUCENE-9967: Do not throw NullPointerException while trying to handle another exception in ReplicaNode.start
  (Steven Schlansker)
6. LUCENE-9991: Fix edge case failure in TestStringValueFacetCounts
  (Greg Miller)
Other (4)
1. LUCENE-9836: Removed the pure Maven build. It is no longer possible to build artifacts using Maven (this feature was no longer working correctly). Due to migration to Gradle for Lucene/Solr 9.0, the maintenance of the Maven build was no longer reasonable. POM files are generated for deployment to Maven Central only. Please use "ant generate-maven-artifacts" to produce and deploy artifacts to any repository.
  (Uwe Schindler, Dawid Weiss)
2. LUCENE-9836: Migrate Maven tasks to use "maven-resolver-ant-tasks" instead of the no longer maintained "maven-ant-tasks".
  (Uwe Schindler)
3. LUCENE-9985: Upgrade jetty to 9.4.41
  (janhoy)
4. LUCENE-9976: Fix WANDScorer assertion error.
  (Zach Chen, Adrien Grand, Dawid Weiss)

  (Jørgen Nystad)
2. LUCENE-9744: NPE on a degenerate query in MinimumShouldMatchIntervalsSource $MinimumMatchesIterator.getSubMatches().
  (Alan Woodward)
3. LUCENE-9762: DoubleValuesSource.fromQuery (also used by FunctionScoreQuery.boostByQuery) could throw an exception when the query implements TwoPhaseIterator and when the score is requested repeatedly.
  (David Smiley, hossman)

  (Ignacio Vera)
4. LUCENE-9378: Doc values now allow configuring how to trade compression for retrieval speed.
  (Adrien Grand)
5. LUCENE-9413: Add CJKWidthCharFilter and its factory
  (Tomoko Uchida)
Improvements (3)
1. LUCENE-9455: ExitableTermsEnum should sample timeout and interruption check before calling next().
  (Zach Chen via Bruno Roustant)
2. LUCENE-9023: GlobalOrdinalsWithScore should not compute occurrences when the provided min is 1.
  (Jim Ferenczi)
3. LUCENE-9675: Binary doc values fields now expose their configured compression mode in the attributes of the field info.
  (Jim Ferenczi)
Optimizations (4)
1. LUCENE-9536: Reduced memory usage for OrdinalMap when a segment has all values.
  (Julie Tibshirani via Adrien Grand)
2. LUCENE-9021: QueryParser: re-use the LookaheadSuccess exception.

3. LUCENE-9636: Faster decoding of postings for some numbers of bits per value.
  (Guo Feng via Adrien Grand)
4. LUCENE-9346: WANDScorer now supports queries that have a `minimumNumberShouldMatch` configured.
  (Xi Zachary Chen via Adrien Grand)
Bug Fixes (8)
1. LUCENE-9508: DocumentsWriter was only stalling threads for 1 second allowing documents to be indexed even the DocumentsWriter wasn't able to keep up flushing. Unless IW can't make progress due to an ill behaving DWPT this issue was barely noticeable.
  (Simon Willnauer)
2. LUCENE-9581: Japanese tokenizer should discard the compound token instead of disabling the decomposition of long tokens when discardCompoundToken is activated.
  (Jim Ferenczi)
3. LUCENE-9595: Make Component2D#withinPoint implementations consistent with ShapeQuery logic.
  (Ignacio Vera)
4. LUCENE-9606: Wrap boolean queries generated by shape fields with a Constant score query.
  (Ignacio Vera)
5. LUCENE-9635: BM25FQuery - Mask encoded norm long value in array lookup.
  (Yilun Cui)

  (Michael Froh)
7. LUCENE-9642: When encoding triangles in ShapeField, make sure generated triangles are CCW by rotating triangle points before checking triangle orientation.
  (Ignacio Vera)

2. LUCENE-9637: Removes some unused code and replaces the Point implementation on ShapeField/ShapeQuery random tests.
  (Ignacio Vera)

Release 8.7.0 [2020-11-03]

API Changes (2)
1. LUCENE-9437: Lucene's facet module's DocValuesOrdinalsReader.decode method is now public, making it easier for applications to decode facet ordinals into their corresponding labels
  (Ankur Goel)
2. LUCENE-9515: IndexingChain now accepts individual primitives rather than a DocumentsWriterPerThread instance in order to create a new DocConsumer.
  (Simon Willnauer)
New Features (4)
1. LUCENE-9386: RegExpQuery added case insensitive matching option.
  (Mark Harwood)
2. LUCENE-8962: Add IndexWriter merge-on-refresh feature to selectively merge small segments on getReader, subject to a configurable timeout, to improve search performance by reducing the number of small segments for searching.
  (Simon Willnauer)
3. LUCENE-9484: Allow sorting an index after it was created. With SortingCodecReader, existing unsorted segments can be wrapped and merged into a fresh index using IndexWriter#addIndices API.
  (Simon Willnauer, Adrien Grand)
4. LUCENE-9444: Add utility class to retrieve facet labels from the taxonomy index for a facet field so such fields do not also have to be redundantly stored
  (Ankur Goel)
Improvements (10)
1. LUCENE-8574: Add a new ExpressionValueSource which will enforce only one value per name per hit in dependencies, ExpressionFunctionValues will no longer recompute already computed values
  (Patrick Zhai)
2. LUCENE-9416: Fix CheckIndex to print an invalid non-zero norm as unsigned long when detecting corruption.
3. LUCENE-9440: FieldInfo#checkConsistency called twice from Lucene50(60)FieldInfosFormat#read; Removed the (redundant?) assert and do these checks for real.
  (Yauheni Putsykovich)
4. LUCENE-9446: In BooleanQuery rewrite, always remove MatchAllDocsQuery filter clauses when possible.
  (Julie Tibshirani)
5. LUCENE-9501: Improve coverage for Asserting* test classes: make sure to handle singleton doc values, and sometimes exercise Weight#scorer instead of Weight#bulkScorer for top-level queries.
  (Julie Tibshirani)
6. LUCENE-9511: Include StoredFieldsWriter in DWPT accounting to ensure that it's heap consumption is taken into account when IndexWriter stalls or should flush DWPTs.
  (Simon Willnauer)
7. LUCENE-9514: Include TermVectorsWriter in DWPT accounting to ensure that it's heap consumption is taken into account when IndexWriter stalls or should flush DWPTs.
  (Simon Willnauer)
8. LUCENE-9523: In query shapes over shape fields, skip points while traversing the BKD tree when the relationship with the document is already known.
  (Ignacio Vera)
9. LUCENE-9539: Use more compact datastructures to represent sorted doc-values in memory when sorting a segment before flush and in SortingCodecReader.
  (Simon Willnauer)
10. LUCENE-9458: WordDelimiterGraphFilter should order tokens at the same position by endOffset to emit longer tokens first. The same graph is produced.
  (David Smiley)
Optimizations (4)
1. LUCENE-9395: ConstantValuesSource now shares a single DoubleValues instance across all segments
  (Tony Xu)
2. LUCENE-9447, LUCENE-9486: Stored fields now get higer compression ratios on highly compressible data.
  (Adrien Grand)
3. LUCENE-9373: FunctionMatchQuery now accepts a "matchCost" optimization hint.
  (Maxim Glazkov, David Smiley)
4. LUCENE-9510: Indexing with an index sort is now faster by not compressing temporary representations of the data.
  (Adrien Grand)
Bug Fixes (6)
1. LUCENE-9427: Fix a regression where the unified highlighter didn't produce highlights on fuzzy queries that correspond to exact matches.
  (Julie Tibshirani)
2. LUCENE-9467: Fix NRTCachingDirectory to use Directory#fileLength to check if a file already exists instead of opening an IndexInput on the file which might throw a AccessDeniedException in some Directory implementations.
  (Simon Willnauer)
3. LUCENE-9501: Fix a bug in IndexSortSortedNumericDocValuesRangeQuery where it could violate the DocIdSetIterator contract.
  (Julie Tibshirani)
4. LUCENE-9401: Include field in ComplexPhraseQuery's toString()
  (Thomas Hecker via Munendra S N)
5. LUCENE-9578: Fix TermRangeQuery when there is no upper bound and the lower bound is the empty string excluded. This would previously match no strings at all while it should match all non-empty strings.
  (Christoph Buescher via Adrien Grand)
6. LUCENE-9524: Fix NPE in SpanWeight#explain when no scoring is required and SpanWeight has null Similarity.SimScorer.
  (Zach Chen)
Documentation (1)
1. LUCENE-9424: Add a performance warning to AttributeSource.captureState javadocs
  (Patrick Zhai)
Changes in Runtime Behavior (1)
1. LUCENE-9539: SortingCodecReader now doesn't cache doc values fields anymore. Previously, SortingCodecReader used to cache all doc values fields after they were loaded into memory. This reader should only be used to sort segments after the fact using IndexWriter#addIndices.
  (Simon Willnauer)
Other (3)
1. LUCENE-9292: Refactor BKD point configuration into its own class.
  (Ignacio Vera)
2. LUCENE-9470: Make TestXYMultiPolygonShapeQueries more resilient for CONTAINS queries.
  (Ignacio Vera)
3. LUCENE-9512: Move LockFactory stress test to be a unit/integration test.
  (Uwe Schindler, Dawid Weiss, Robert Muir)
Build (1)
1. Upgrade forbiddenapis to version 3.1.
  (Uwe Schindler)

Release 8.6.3 [2020-10-07]

Bug Fixes (1)
1. (No changes)

Release 8.6.2 [2020-09-01]

Bug Fixes (1)
1. LUCENE-9478: Prevent DWPTDeleteQueue from referencing itself and leaking memory. The queue passed an implicit this reference to the next queue instance on flush which leaked about 500byte of memory on each full flush, commit or getReader call.
  (Simon Willnauer)

Release 8.6.1 [2020-08-13]

Bug Fixes (1)
1. LUCENE-9443: The UnifiedHighlighter was closing the underlying reader when there were multiple term-vector fields. This was a regression in 8.6.0.
  (David Smiley, Chris Beer)

Release 8.6.0 [2020-07-15]

API Changes (9)
1. LUCENE-9265: SimpleFSDirectory is deprecated in favor of NIOFSDirectory.
  (Yannick Welsch)
2. LUCENE-9304: Removed ability to set DocumentsWriterPerThreadPool on IndexWriterConfig. The DocumentsWriterPerThreadPool is a packaged protected final class which made it impossible to customize.
  (Simon Willnauer)
3. LUCENE-9339: MergeScheduler#merge doesn't accept a parameter if a new merge was found anymore.
  (Simon Willnauer)
4. LUCENE-9330: SortFields are now responsible for writing themselves into index headers if they are used as index sorts.
  (Alan Woodward, Uwe Schindler, Adrien Grand)
5. LUCENE-9340: Deprecate SimpleBindings#add(SortField).
  (Alan Woodward)
6. LUCENE-9345: MergeScheduler is now decoupled from IndexWriter. Instead it accepts a MergeSource interface that offers the basic methods to acquire pending merges, run the merge and do accounting around it.
  (Simon Willnauer)
7. LUCENE-9349: QueryVisitor.consumeTermsMatching() now takes a Supplier<ByteRunAutomaton> to enable queries that build large automata to provide them lazily. TermsInSetQuery switches to using this method to report matching terms.
  (Alan Woodward)
8. LUCENE-9366: DocValues.emptySortedNumeric() not longer takes a maxDoc parameter
  (Alan Woodward)
9. LUCENE-7822: CodecUtil#checkFooter(IndexInput, Throwable) now throws a CorruptIndexException if checksums mismatch or if checksums can't be verified.
  (Martin Amirault, Adrien Grand)
New Features (2)
1. LUCENE-7889: Grouping by range based on values from DoubleValuesSource and LongValuesSource
  (Alan Woodward)
2. LUCENE-8962: Add IndexWriter merge-on-commit feature to selectively merge small segments on commit, subject to a configurable timeout, to improve search performance by reducing the number of small segments for searching
  (Michael Froh, Mike Sokolov, Mike Mccandless, Simon Willnauer)
Improvements (13)
1. LUCENE-9276: Use same code-path for updateDocuments and updateDocument in IndexWriter and DocumentsWriter.
  (Simon Willnauer)
2. LUCENE-9279: Update dictionary version for Ukrainian analyzer to 4.9.1
  (Andriy Rysin via Dawid Weiss)
3. LUCENE-8050: PerFieldDocValuesFormat should not get the DocValuesFormat on a field that has no doc values.
  (David Smiley, Juan Rodriguez)
4. LUCENE-9304: Removed ThreadState abstraction from DocumentsWriter which allows pooling of DWPT directly and improves the approachability of the IndexWriter code.
  (Simon Willnauer)
5. LUCENE-9324: Add an ID to SegmentCommitInfo in order to compare commits for equality and make snapshots incremental on generational files.
  (Simon Willnauer, Mike Mccandless, Adrien Grand)
6. LUCENE-9342: TotalHits' relation will be EQUAL_TO when the number of hits is lower than TopDocsColector's numHits
  (Tomás Fernández Löbbe)
7. LUCENE-9353: Metadata of the terms dictionary moved to its own file, with the `.tmd` extension. This allows checksums of metadata to be verified when opening indices and helps save seeks when opening an index.
  (Adrien Grand)
8. LUCENE-9359: SegmentInfos#readCommit now always returns a CorruptIndexException if the content of the file is invalid.
  (Adrien Grand)
9. LUCENE-9393: Make FunctionScoreQuery use ScoreMode.COMPLETE for creating the inner query weight when ScoreMode.TOP_DOCS is requested.
  (Tomás Fernández Löbbe)
10. LUCENE-9392: Make FacetsConfig.DELIM_CHAR publicly accessible
  (Ankur Goel)
11. LUCENE-9397: UniformSplit supports encodable fields metadata.
  (Bruno Roustant)
12. LUCENE-9396: Improved truncation detection for points.
  (Adrien Grand, Robert Muir)
13. LUCENE-9402: Let MultiCollector handle minCompetitiveScore
  (Tomás Fernández Löbbe, Adrien Grand)
Optimizations (8)
1. LUCENE-9254: UniformSplit keeps FST off-heap.
  (Bruno Roustant)
2. LUCENE-8103: DoubleValuesSource and QueryValueSource now use a TwoPhaseIterator if one is provided by the Query.
  (Michele Palmia, David Smiley)
3. LUCENE-9287: UsageTrackingQueryCachingPolicy no longer caches DocValuesFieldExistsQuery.
  (Ignacio Vera)
4. LUCENE-9286: FST.Arc.BitTable reads directly FST bytes. Arc is lightweight again and FSTEnum traversal faster.
  (Bruno Roustant)
5. LUCENE-7788: fail precommit on unparameterised log messages and examine for wasted work/objects
  (Erick Erickson)
6. LUCENE-9273: Speed up geometry queries by specialising Component2D spatial operations. Instead of using a generic relate method for all relations, we use specialize methods for each one. In addition, the type of triangle is computed at deserialization time, therefore we can be more selective when decoding points of a triangle.
  (Ignacio Vera)
7. LUCENE-9087: Build always trees with full leaves and lower the default value for maxPointsPerLeafNode to 512.
  (Ignacio Vera)
8. LUCENE-9148: Points now write their index in a separate file.
  (Adrien Grand)
Bug Fixes (14)
1. LUCENE-9259: Fix wrong NGramFilterFactory argument name for preserveOriginal option
  (Paul Pazderski)
2. LUCENE-8849: DocValuesRewriteMethod.visit wasn't visiting its embedded query
  (Michele Palmia, David Smiley)
3. LUCENE-9258: DocTermsIndexDocValues assumed it was operating on a SortedDocValues (single valued) field when it could be multi-valued used with a SortedSetSelector

  (Marvin Justice via Mike Drob)
7. LUCENE-9309: Wait for #addIndexes merges when aborting merges.
  (Simon Willnauer)
8. LUCENE-9337: Ensure CMS updates it's thread accounting datastructures consistently. CMS today releases it's lock after finishing a merge before it re-acquires it to update the thread accounting datastructures. This causes threading issues where concurrently finishing threads fail to pick up pending merges causing potential thread starvation on forceMerge calls.
  (Simon Willnauer)
9. LUCENE-9314: Single-document monitor runs were using the less efficient MultiDocumentBatch implementation.
  (Pierre-Luc Perron, Alan Woodward)

  (Ignacio Vera)
14. LUCENE-9418: Fix ordered intervals over interleaved terms
  (Alan Woodward)
Other (12)
1. LUCENE-9257: Always keep FST off-heap. FSTLoadMode, Reader attributes and openedFromWriter removed.
  (Bruno Roustant)
2. LUCENE-9272: Checksums of the terms index are now verified when LeafReader#checkIntegrity is called rather than when opening the index.
  (Adrien Grand)

  (Adrien Grand)
7. LUCENE-9191: Make LineFileDocs's random seeking more efficient, making tests using LineFileDocs faster
  (Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
8. LUCENE-9338: Refactors SimpleBindings to improve type safety and cycle detection
  (Alan Woodward, Adrien Grand)
9. LUCENE-9358: Change the way the multi-dimensional BKD tree builder generates the intermediate tree representation to be equal to the one dimensional case to avoid unnecessary tree and leaves rotation.
  (Ignacio Vera)
10. LUCENE-9288: poll_mirrors.py release script can handle HTTPS mirrors.

  (Andras Salamon via Erick Erickson)

Release 8.5.2 [2020-05-26]

Optimizations (1)
1. LUCENE-9350: Partial reversion of LUCENE-9068; holding levenshtein automata on FuzzyQuery can end up blowing up query caches which use query objects as cache keys, so building the automata is now delayed to search time again.
  (Alan Woodward, Mike Drob)

Release 8.5.1 [2020-04-16]

Bug Fixes (1)
1. LUCENE-9300: Fix corruption of the new gen field infos when doc values updates are applied on a segment created externally and added to the index with IndexWriter#addIndexes(Directory).
  (Jim Ferenczi, Adrien Grand)

Release 8.5.0 [2020-03-24]

API Changes (9)
1. LUCENE-9093: Not an API change but a change in behavior of the UnifiedHighlighter's LengthGoalBreakIterator that will yield Passages sized a little different due to the fact that the sizing pivot is now the center of the first match and not its left edge.
2. LUCENE-9116: PostingsWriterBase and PostingsReaderBase no longer support setting a field's metadata via a `long[]`.
  (Adrien Grand)
3. LUCENE-9116: The FSTOrd postings format has been removed.
  (Adrien Grand)
4. LUCENE-8369: Remove obsolete spatial module.

  (Nándor Mátravölgyi)
4. LUCENE-9105: UniformSplit postings format detects corrupted index and better handles IO exceptions.
  (Bruno Roustant)
5. LUCENE-9106: UniformSplit postings format allows extension of block/line serializers.
  (Bruno Roustant)
6. LUCENE-9093: UnifiedHighlighter's LengthGoalBreakIterator has a new fragmentAlignment option to better center the first match in the passage. Also the sizing point now pivots at the center of the first match term and not its left edge. This yields Passages that won't be identical to the previous behavior.
  (Nándor Mátravölgyi, David Smiley)
7. LUCENE-9153: Allow WhitespaceAnalyzer to set a maxTokenLength other than the default of 255
  (Alan Woodward)
8. LUCENE-9152: Improve line intersections with polygons when they are touching from the outside.
  (Ignacio Vera)
9. LUCENE-9123: Add new JapaneseTokenizer constructors with discardCompoundToken option that controls whether the tokenizer emits original (compound) tokens when the mode is not NORMAL.
  (Kazuaki Hiraga via Tomoko Uchida)
10. LUCENE-9253: KoreanTokenizer now supports custom dictionaries(system, unknown).
  (Namgyu Kim)

  (Mark Harwood)
2. LUCENE-4702: Better compression of terms dictionaries.
  (Adrien Grand)
3. LUCENE-9228: Sort dvUpdates in the term order before applying if they all update a single field to the same value. This optimization can reduce the flush time by around 20% for the docValues update user cases.
  (Nhat Nguyen, Adrien Grand, Simon Willnauer)
4. LUCENE-9245: Reduce AutomatonTermsEnum memory usage.
  (Bruno Roustant, Robert Muir)

5. LUCENE-9200: Fix TieredMergePolicy to use double (not float) math to make its merging decisions, fixing a corner-case bug uncovered by fun randomized tests
  (Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
6. LUCENE-9099: Unordered and Ordered interval queries now correctly handle repeated subterms - ordered intervals could supply an 'extra' minimized interval, resulting in odd matches when combined with eg CONTAINS queries; and unordered intervals would match duplicate subterms on the same position, so an query for UNORDERED(foo, foo) would match a document containing 'foo' only once.
  (Alan Woodward)
7. LUCENE-9250: Add support for Circle2d#intersectsLine around the dateline.
  (Ignacio Vera)
8. LUCENE-9243: Add fudge factor when creating a bounding box of a XYCircle.
  (Ignacio Vera)
9. LUCENE-9239: Circle2D#WithinTriangle detects properly if a triangle is Within distance.
  (Ignacio Vera)
10. LUCENE-9251: Fix bug in the polygon tessellator where edges with different value on #isEdgeFromPolygon were bot filtered out properly.
  (Ignacio Vera)
11. LUCENE-9263: Fix wrong transformation of distance in meters to radians in Geo3DPoint.
  (Ignacio Vera)
Other (6)

2. LUCENE-9110: Backport refactored stack analysis in tests to use generalized LuceneTestCase methods
  (Uwe Schindler)
3. LUCENE-9141: Simplify LatLonShapeXQuery API by adding a new abstract class called LatLonGeometry. Queries are executed with input objects that extend such interface.
  (Ignacio Vera)
4. LUCENE-9194: Simplify XYShapeXQuery API by adding a new abstract class called XYGeometry. Queries are executed with input objects that extend such interface.
  (Ignacio Vera)

  (Alan Woodward, David Smiley)
7. LUCENE-9073: IntervalQuery to respond field on toString() and explain()
  (Mikhail Khludnev)
Optimizations (9)
1. LUCENE-8928: When building a kd-tree for dimensions n > 2, compute exact bounds for an inner node every N splits to improve the quality of the tree. N is defined by SPLITS_BEFORE_EXACT_BOUNDS which is set to 4.
  (Ignacio Vera, Adrien Grand)
2. BaseDirectoryReader no longer sums up the `LeafReader#numDocs` of its leaves eagerly. This especially helps when creating views of readers that hide documents, since computing the number of live documents is an expensive operation.
  (Adrien Grand)
3. LUCENE-8992: TopFieldCollector and TopScoreDocCollector can now share minimum scores across leaves concurrently.
  (Adrien Grand, Atri Sharma, Jim Ferenczi)
4. LUCENE-8932: BKDReader's index is now stored off-heap when the IndexInput is an instance of ByteBufferIndexInput.
  (Jack Conradson via Adrien Grand)
5. LUCENE-9024: IntroSelector now falls back to the median of medians algorithm instead of sorting when the maximum recursion level is exceeded, providing better worst-case runtime.
  (Paul Sanwald via Adrien Grand)
6. LUCENE-8920: The denser arcs of FST now index labels with a bitset in order to provide near constant time access.
  (Bruno Roustant, Mike Sokolov via Adrien Grand)
7. LUCENE-9027: Use SIMD instructions to decode postings.
  (Adrien Grand)
8. LUCENE-9049: Remove FST cached root arcs now redundant with labels indexed by bitset. This frees some on-heap FST space.
  (Jack Conradson via Bruno Roustant)
9. LUCENE-9045: Do not use TreeMap/TreeSet in BlockTree and PerFieldPostingsFormat.
  (Bruno Roustant)
Bug Fixes (7)

  (Julien Massenet, Diego Ceccarelli, Munendra S N, Christine Poerschke)
6. LUCENE-9055: Fix the detection of lines crossing triangles through edge points.
  (Ignacio Vera)
7. LUCENE-9103: Disjunctions can miss some hits in some rare conditions.
  (Adrien Grand)
Other (6)
1. LUCENE-8979: Code Cleanup: Use entryset for map iteration wherever possible. - Part 2
  (Koen De Groote)
2. LUCENE-8994: Code Cleanup - Pass values to list constructor instead of empty constructor followed by addAll().
  (Koen De Groote)
3. LUCENE-8746: Refactor EdgeTree - Introduce a Component tree that represents the tree of components (e.g polygons). Edge tree is now just a tree of edges.
  (Ignacio Vera)
4. LUCENE-9046: Fix wrong example in Javadoc of TermInSetQuery
  (Namgyu Kim)
5. LUCENE-8983: Add sandbox PhraseWildcardQuery to control multi-terms expansions in a phrase.

  (Kevin Risden)

Release 8.3.1 [2019-12-03]

Bug Fixes (1)
1. LUCENE-9050: MultiTermIntervalsSource.visit() was not calling back to its visitor.
  (Alan Woodward)

Release 8.3.0 [2019-11-02]

API Changes (5)
1. LUCENE-8909: IndexWriter#getFieldNames() method is used to get fields present in index. After LUCENE-8316, this method is no longer required. Hence, deprecate IndexWriter#getFieldNames() method.
  (Adrien Grand, Munendra S N)
2. LUCENE-8755: SpatialPrefixTreeFactory now consumes the "version" parsed with Lucene's Version class. The quad and packed quad prefix trees are sensitive to this. It's recommended to pass the version like you should do likewise for analysis components for tokenized text, or else changes to the encoding in future versions may be incompatible with older indexes.
  (Chongchen Chen, David Smiley)
3. LUCENE-8956: QueryRescorer now only sorts the first topN hits instead of all initial hits.
  (Paul Sanwald via Adrien Grand)
4. LUCENE-8921: IndexSearcher.termStatistics() no longer takes a TermStates; it takes the docFreq and totalTermFreq. And don't call if docFreq <= 0. The previous implementation survives as deprecated and final. It's removed in 9.0.
  (Bruno Roustant, David Smiley, Alan Woodward)
5. LUCENE-8990: PointValues#estimateDocCount(visitor) estimates the number of documents that would be matched by the given IntersectVisitor. THe method is used to compute the cost() of ScorerSuppliers instead of PointValues#estimatePointCount(visitor).
  (Ignacio Vera, Adrien Grand)
New Features (6)
1. LUCENE-8936: Add SpanishMinimalStemFilter
  (vinod kumar via Tomoko Uchida)
2. LUCENE-8764 LUCENE-8945: Add "export all terms and doc freqs" feature to Luke with delimiters.
  (Leonardo Menezes, Amish Shah via Tomoko Uchida)
3. LUCENE-8747: Composite Matches from multiple subqueries now allow access to their submatches, and a new NamedMatches API allows marking of subqueries and a simple way to find which subqueries have matched on a given document
  (Alan Woodward, Jim Ferenczi)
4. LUCENE-8769: Introduce Range Query For Multiple Connected Ranges
  (Atri Sharma)
5. LUCENE-8960: Introduce LatLonDocValuesPointInPolygonQuery for LatLonDocValuesField

  (Bruno Roustant, Juan Rodriguez, David Smiley)
Improvements (15)
1. LUCENE-8874: Show SPI names instead of class names in Luke Analysis tab.
  (Tomoko Uchida)
2. LUCENE-8894: Add APIs to find SPI names for Tokenizer/CharFilter/TokenFilter factory classes.
  (Tomoko Uchida)
3. LUCENE-8914: move the logic for discarding inner modes in FloatPointNearestNeighbor to the IntersectVisitor so we take advantage of the change introduced in LUCENE-7862.
  (Ignacio Vera)
4. LUCENE-8955: move the logic for discarding inner modes in LatLonPoint NearestNeighbor to the IntersectVisitor so we take advantage of the change introduced in LUCENE-7862.
  (Ignacio Vera)
5. LUCENE-8918: PhraseQuery throws exceptions at construction time if it is passed null arguments.
  (Alan Woodward)
6. LUCENE-8916: GraphTokenStreamFiniteStrings preserves all Token attributes through its finite strings TokenStreams
  (Alan Woodward)
7. LUCENE-8906: Expose Lucene50PostingsFormat.IntBlockTermState as public so that other postings formats can re-use it.
  (Bruno Roustant)
8. LUCENE-8942: Remove redundant parameters and improve visibility strictness in LRUQueryCache
  (Atri Sharma)
9. SOLR-13663: Introduce <SpanPositionRange> into XML Query Parser
  (Alessandro Benedetti via Mikhail Khludnev)
10. LUCENE-8952: Use a sort key instead of true distance in NearestNeighbor
  (Julie Tibshirani).
11. LUCENE-8620: Tessellator labels the edges of the generated triangles whether they belong to the original polygon. This information is added to the triangle encoding.
  (Ignacio Vera)
12. LUCENE-8964: Fix geojson shape parsing on string arrays in properties
  (Alexander Reelsen)
13. LUCENE-8976: Use exact distance between point and bounding rectangle in FloatPointNearestNeighbor.

  (Andy Hind via Anshum Gupta)
Optimizations (8)
1. LUCENE-8922: DisjunctionMaxQuery more efficiently leverages impacts to skip non-competitive hits.
  (Adrien Grand)
2. LUCENE-8935: BooleanQuery with no scoring clause can now early terminate the query when the total hits is not requested.
  (Jim Ferenczi)
3. LUCENE-8941: Matches on wildcard queries will defer building their full disjunction until a MatchesIterator is pulled
  (Alan Woodward)
4. LUCENE-8755: spatial-extras quad and packed quad prefix trees now index points faster.
  (Chongchen Chen, David Smiley)
5. LUCENE-8860: add additional leaf node level optimizations in LatLonShapeBoundingBoxQuery.
  (Igor Motov via Ignacio Vera)
6. LUCENE-8968: Improve performance of WITHIN and DISJOINT queries for Shape queries by doing just one pass whenever possible.
  (Ignacio Vera)
7. LUCENE-8939: Introduce shared count based early termination across multiple slices
  (Atri Sharma)
8. LUCENE-8980: Blocktree's seekExact now short-circuits false if the term isn't in the min-max range of the segment. Large perf gain for ID/time like data when populated sequentially.
  (Guoqiang Jiang)
Bug Fixes (2)
1. LUCENE-8755: spatial-extras quad and packed quad prefix trees could throw a NullPointerException for certain cell edge coordinates
  (Chongchen Chen, David Smiley)
2. LUCENE-9005: BooleanQuery.visit() would pull subVisitors from its parent visitor, rather than from a visitor for its own specific query. This could cause problems when BQ was nested under another BQ. Instead, we now pull a MUST subvisitor, pass it to any MUST subclauses, and then pull SHOULD, MUST_NOT and FILTER visitors from it rather than from the parent.
  (Alan Woodward)
Other (7)
1. LUCENE-8778 LUCENE-8911 LUCENE-8957: Define analyzer SPI names as static final fields and document the names in Javadocs.
  (Tomoko Uchida, Uwe Schindler)
2. LUCENE-8758: QuadPrefixTree: removed levelS and levelN fields which weren't used.
  (Amish Shah)

  (hossman)
7. LUCENE-8062: GlobalOrdinalsWithScoreQuery is no longer eligible for query caching.
  (Jim Ferenczi)

Release 8.2.0 [2019-07-26]

API Changes (3)
1. LUCENE-8865: IndexSearcher now uses Executor instead of ExecutorSerivce. This change is fully backwards compatible since ExecutorService directly implements Executor.
  (Simon Willnauer)
2. LUCENE-8856: Intervals queries have moved from the sandbox to the queries module.
  (Alan Woodward)
3. LUCENE-8893: Intervals.wildcard() and Intervals.prefix() methods now take BytesRef rather than String.

  (Gert Morten Paimla via Tomoko Uchida)
3. LUCENE-8815: Provide a DoubleValues implementation for retrieving the value of features without requiring a separate numeric field. Note that as feature values are stored with only 8 bits of mantissa the values returned may have a delta from the original values indexed.
  (Colin Goodheart-Smithe via Adrien Grand)
4. LUCENE-8803: Provide a FeatureSortfield to allow sorting search hits by descending value of a feature. This is exposed via the factory method FeatureField#newFeatureSort.
  (Colin Goodheart-Smithe via Adrien Grand)
5. LUCENE-8784: The KoreanTokenizer now preserves punctuations if discardPunctuation is set to false (defaults to true).
  (Namgyu Kim via Jim Ferenczi)

  (Namgyu Kim)
7. LUCENE-8362: Add doc-value support to range fields.
  (Atri Sharma via Adrien Grand)
8. LUCENE-8766: Add monitor subproject (previously Luwak monitoring library). This allows a stream of documents to be matched against a set of registered queries in an efficient manner, for use as a monitoring or classification tool.
  (Alan Woodward)
9. LUCENE-7714: Add a numeric range query in sandbox that takes advantage of index sorting.
  (Julie Tibshirani via Jim Ferenczi)
10. LUCENE-8859: The completion suggester's postings format now have an option to load its internal FST off-heap.
  (Jim Ferenczi)
Bug Fixes (9)
1. LUCENE-8831: Fixed LatLonShapeBoundingBoxQuery .hashCode methods.
  (Ignacio Vera)
2. LUCENE-8775: Improve tessellator to handle better cases where a hole share a vertex with the polygon.
  (Ignacio Vera)
3. LUCENE-8785: Ensure new threadstates are locked before retrieving the number of active threadstates. This causes assertion errors and potentially broken field attributes in the IndexWriter when IndexWriter#deleteAll is called while actively indexing.
  (Simon Willnauer)
4. LUCENE-8804: Forbid calls to putAttribute on frozen FieldType instances.
  (Vamshi Vijay Nakkirtha via Adrien Grand)
5. LUCENE-8828: Removes the buggy 'disallow overlaps' boolean from Intervals.unordered(), and replaces it with a new Intervals.unorderedNoOverlaps() method
  (Alan Woodward)
6. LUCENE-8843: Don't ignore exceptions that are thrown when trying to open a file in IOUtils#fsync.
  (Jason Tedor via Adrien Grand)
7. LUCENE-8835: FileSwitchDirectory now respects the file extension when listing directory contents to ensure we don't expose pending deletes if both directory point to the same underlying filesystem directory.
  (Simon Willnauer)
8. LUCENE-8853: FileSwitchDirectory now applies best effort to place tmp files in the same directory as the target files.
  (Simon Willnauer)
9. LUCENE-8892: Add missing closing parentheses in MultiBoolFunction's description()
  (Florian Diebold, Munendra S N)
Improvements (8)
1. LUCENE-7840: Non-scoring BooleanQuery now removes SHOULD clauses before building the scorer supplier as opposed to eliminating them during scoring construction.
  (Atri Sharma via Jim Ferenczi)
2. LUCENE-8770: BlockMaxConjunctionScorer now leverages two-phase iterators in order to avoid executing the second phase when scorers don't intersect.
  (Adrien Grand, Jim Ferenczi)
3. LUCENE-8818: Fix smokeTestRelease.py encoding bug
  (janhoy)
4. LUCENE-8845: Allow Intervals.prefix() and Intervals.wildcard() to specify their maximum allowed expansions
  (Alan Woodward)
5. LUCENE-8875: Introduce a Collector optimized for use cases when large number of hits are requested
  (Atri Sharma)
6. LUCENE-8848 LUCENE-7757 LUCENE-8492: The UnifiedHighlighter now detects that parts of the query are not understood by it, and thus it should not make optimizations that result in no highlights or slow highlighting. This generally works best for WEIGHT_MATCHES mode. Consequently queries produced by ComplexPhraseQueryParser and the surround QueryParser will now highlight correctly.
  (David Smiley)
7. LUCENE-8793: Luke enhanced UI for CustomAnalyzer: show detailed analysis steps.
  (Jun Ohtani via Tomoko Uchida)
8. LUCENE-8855: Add Accountable to some Query implementations
  (ab, Adrien Grand)
Optimizations (8)
1. LUCENE-8796: Use exponential search instead of binary search in IntArrayDocIdSet#advance method
  (Luca Cavanna via Adrien Grand)
2. LUCENE-8865: Use incoming thread for execution if IndexSearcher has an executor. Now caller threads execute at least one search on an index even if there is an executor provided to minimize thread context switching.
  (Simon Willnauer)
3. LUCENE-8868: New storing strategy for BKD tree leaves with low cardinality. It stores the distinct values once with the cardinality value reducing the storage cost.
  (Ignacio Vera)
4. LUCENE-8885: Optimise BKD reader by exploiting cardinality information stored on leaves.
  (Ignacio Vera)
5. LUCENE-8896: Override default implementation of IntersectVisitor#visit(DocIDSetBuilder, byte[]) for several queries.
  (Ignacio Vera)
6. LUCENE-8901: Load frequencies lazily only when needed in BlockDocsEnum and BlockImpactsEverythingEnum
  (Mayya Sharipova).
7. LUCENE-8888: Optimize distribution of points with data dimensions in BKD tree leaves.
  (Ignacio Vera)
8. LUCENE-8311: Phrase queries now leverage impacts.
  (Adrien Grand)
Test Framework (1)

  (Atri Sharma via Adrien Grand)
Other (6)
1. LUCENE-8847: Code Cleanup: Remove StringBuilder.append with concatenated strings.
  (Koen De Groote via Uwe Schindler)
2. LUCENE-8861: Script to find open Github PRs that needs attention
  (janhoy)

  (Ignacio Vera)

Release 8.1.1 [2019-05-28]

Improvements (1)
1. LUCENE-8781: FST lookup performance has been improved in many cases by encoding Arcs using full-sized arrays with gaps. The new encoding is enabled for postings in the default codec and for suggesters.
  (Mike Sokolov)

Release 8.1.0 [2019-05-16]

API Changes (2)
1. LUCENE-3041: A query introspection API has been added. Queries should implement a visit() method, taking a QueryVisitor, and either pass the visitor down to any child queries, or call a visitX() or consumeX() method on it. All locations in the code that called Weight.extractTerms() have been changed to use this API, and the extractTerms() method has been deprecated.
  (Alan Woodward, Simon Willnauer, David Smiley, Luca Cavanna)
2. LUCENE-8735: Directory.getPendingDeletions is now abstract to ensure subclasses override it. FilterDirectory now delegates the call, ensuring correct default behaviour for subclasses.
  (Henning Andersen)
New Features (1)
1. LUCENE-2562: The well-known graphical user interface for inspecting Lucene indexes "Luke" was added as a Lucene module. It can be started from the binary distribution by calling the shell scripts in the module folder or from the source checkout by using `ant -f lucene/luke/build.xml run`. Luke provides a Swing-based user interface and can be used to open Lucene or Solr (or Elasticsearch) indexes, inspect documents, check index commits and segments, or test (custom) analyzers. It also has maintenance functions to check index structures and force merge indexes for archival. Luke was originally developed by Andrzej Bialecki, later maintained by Dmitry Kan and finally rewritten by Tomoko Uchida to use the ASF licensing compatible Swing framework (as shipped with JDKs).
  (Tomoko Uchida, Uwe Schindler)
Bug fixes (10)
1. LUCENE-8736: LatLonShapePolygonQuery returns incorrect WITHIN results with shared boundaries. Point in Polygon now correctly includes boundary points. Box and Polygon relations with triangles have also been improved to correctly include boundary points.
  (Nick Knize)
2. LUCENE-8712: Polygon2D does not detect crossings through segment edges.
  (Ignacio Vera)
3. LUCENE-8720: NameIntCacheLRU (in the facets module) had an int overflow bug that disabled cleaning of the cache
  (Russell A Brown)
4. LUCENE-8726: ValueSource.asDoubleValuesSource() could leak a reference to IndexSearcher
  (Alan Woodward, Yury Pakhomov)
5. LUCENE-8719: FixedShingleFilter can miss shingles at the end of a token stream if there are multiple paths with different lengths.
  (Alan Woodward)
6. LUCENE-8688: TieredMergePolicy#findForcedMerges now tries to create the cheapest merges that allow the index to go down to `maxSegmentCount` segments or less.
  (Armin Braun via Adrien Grand)
7. LUCENE-8477: Interval disjunctions could miss valid hits if some of the clauses of the disjunction are minimized away. We now rewrite intervals if a source contains a disjunction and the internal gaps matter for matching. This behaviour can be disabled if users are more interested in speed rather than accuracy of matching.
  (Alan Woodward, Jim Ferenczi)
8. LUCENE-8741: ValueSource.fromDoubleValuesSource() was casting to Scorer instead of Scorable, leading to ClassCastExceptions
  (Markus Jelsma, Alan Woodward)
9. LUCENE-8754: Fix ConcurrentModificationException in SegmentInfo if attributes are accessed in MergePolicy while the merge is running
  (Simon Willnauer)
10. LUCENE-8765: Fixed validation of the number of added points in KD trees.
  (Zhao Yang via Adrien Grand)
Improvements (13)
1. LUCENE-8673: Use radix partitioning when merging dimensional points instead of sorting all dimensions before hand.
  (Ignacio Vera, Adrien Grand)
2. LUCENE-8687: Optimise radix partitioning for points on heap.
  (Ignacio Vera)
3. LUCENE-8699: Change HeapPointWriter to use a single byte array instead to a list of byte arrays. In addition a new interface PointValue is added to abstract out the different formats between offline and on-heap writers.
  (Ignacio Vera)
4. LUCENE-8703: Build point writers in the BKD tree only when they are needed.
  (Ignacio Vera)
5. LUCENE-8652: SynonymQuery can now deboost the document frequency of each term when blending the score of the synonym.
  (Jim Ferenczi)
6. LUCENE-8631: The Korean's user dictionary now picks the longest-matching word and discards the other matches.
  (Yeongsu Kim via Jim Ferenczi)
7. LUCENE-8732: ConstantScoreQuery can now early terminate the query if the minimum score is greater than the constant score and total hits are not requested.
  (Jim Ferenczi)
8. LUCENE-8750: Implements setMissingValue() on sort fields produced from DoubleValuesSource and LongValuesSource
  (Mike Sokolov via Alan Woodward)
9. LUCENE-8701: ToParentBlockJoinQuery now creates a child scorer that disallows skipping over non-competitive documents if the score of a parent depends on the score of multiple children (avg, max, min). Additionally the score mode `none` that assigns a constant score to each parent can early terminate top scores's collection.
  (Jim Ferenczi)
10. LUCENE-8751: Weight#matches now use the ScorerSupplier to build scorers with a lead cost of 1 (single document).
  (Jim Ferenczi)
11. LUCENE-8752: Japanese new era name '令和' (Reiwa) is added to the dictionary used in JapaneseTokenizer so that the analyzer handles the era name correctly. Reiwa is set to replace the Heisei Era on May 1, 2019.
  (Tomoko Uchida)
12. LUCENE-8671: Introduced reader attributes allows a per IndexReader configuration of codec internals. This enables a per reader configuration if FSTs are on- or off-heap on a per field basis
  (Simon Willnauer)
13. LUCENE-8787: spatial-extras DateRangePrefixTree used to only parse ISO-8601 timestamps with 0 or 3 digits of milliseconds precision but now parses other lengths (although > 3 not used).
  (Thomas Lemmé via David Smiley)
Changes in Runtime Behavior (4)
1. LUCENE-8671: Load FST off-heap also for ID-like fields if reader is not opened from an IndexWriter.
  (Simon Willnauer)
2. LUCENE-8730: WordDelimiterGraphFilter always emits its original token first. This brings its behaviour into line with the deprecated WordDelimiterFilter, so that the only difference in output between the two is in the position length attribute.
  (Alan Woodward, Jim Ferenczi)
3. LUCENE-7386: Disjunctions nested in disjunctions are now flattened. This might trigger changes in the produced scores due to changes to the order in which scores of sub clauses are summed up.
  (Adrien Grand)
4. LUCENE-8756: MoreLikeThisQuery now respects custom term frequencies (TermFrequencyAttribute) at search time
  (Olli Kuonanoja)
Other (5)
1. LUCENE-8680: Refactor EdgeTree#relateTriangle method.
  (Ignacio Vera)
2. LUCENE-8685: Refactor LatLonShape tests.
  (Ignacio Vera)
3. LUCENE-8713: Add Line2D tests.
  (Ignacio Vera)
4. LUCENE-8729: Workaround: Disable accessibility doclints (Java 13+), so compilation with recent JDK succeeds.
  (Uwe Schindler)
5. LUCENE-8725: Make TermsQuery.SeekingTermSetTermsEnum a top level class and public
  (noble)

Release 8.0.0 [2019-03-14]

API Changes (31)
1. LUCENE-8662: TermsEnum.seekExact(BytesRef) to abstract and delegate seekExact(BytesRef) in FilterLeafReader.FilterTermsEnum.
  (Jeffery Yuan via Tomás Fernández Löbbe, Simon Willnauer)
2. LUCENE-8469: Deprecated StringHelper.compare has been removed.
  (Dawid Weiss)
3. LUCENE-8039: Introduce a "delta distance" method set to GeoDistance. This allows distance calculations, especially for paths, to take into account an "excursion" to include the specified point.
4. LUCENE-8007: Index statistics Terms.getSumDocFreq(), Terms.getDocCount() are now required to be stored by codecs. Additionally, TermsEnum.totalTermFreq() and Terms.getSumTotalTermFreq() are now required: if frequencies are not stored they are equal to TermsEnum.docFreq() and Terms.getSumDocFreq(), respectively, because all freq() values equal 1.
  (Adrien Grand, Robert Muir)
5. LUCENE-8038: Deprecated PayloadScoreQuery constructors have been removed
  (Alan Woodward)
6. LUCENE-8014: Similarity.computeSlopFactor() and Similarity.computePayloadFactor() have been removed
  (Alan Woodward)

  (Alan Woodward)
9. LUCENE-8012: Explanation now takes Number rather than float
  (Alan Woodward, Robert Muir)
10. LUCENE-8116: SimScorer now only takes a frequency and a norm as per-document scoring factors.
  (Adrien Grand)
11. LUCENE-8113: TermContext has been renamed to TermStates, and can now be constructed lazily if term statistics are not required
  (Alan Woodward)
12. LUCENE-8242: Deprecated method IndexSearcher#createNormalizedWeight() has been removed
  (Alan Woodward)
13. LUCENE-8267: Memory codecs removed from the codebase (MemoryPostings, MemoryDocValues).
  (Dawid Weiss)
14. LUCENE-8144: Moved QueryCachingPolicy.ALWAYS_CACHE to the test framework.
  (Nhat Nguyen via Adrien Grand)
15. LUCENE-8356: StandardFilter and StandardFilterFactory have been removed
  (Alan Woodward)
16. LUCENE-8373: StandardAnalyzer.ENGLISH_STOP_WORD_SET has been removed
  (Alan Woodward)
17. LUCENE-8388: Unused PostingsEnum#attributes() method has been removed
  (Alan Woodward)
18. LUCENE-8405: TopDocs.maxScore is removed. IndexSearcher and TopFieldCollector no longer have an option to compute the maximum score when sorting by field.
  (Adrien Grand)
19. LUCENE-8411: TopFieldCollector no longer takes a fillFields option, it now always fills fields.
  (Adrien Grand)
20. LUCENE-8412: TopFieldCollector no longer takes a trackDocScores option. Scores need to be set on top hits via TopFieldCollector#populateScores instead.
  (Adrien Grand)
21. LUCENE-6228: A new Scorable abstract class has been added, containing only those methods from Scorer that should be called from Collectors. LeafCollector.setScorer() now takes a Scorable rather than a Scorer.
  (Alan Woodward, Adrien Grand)
22. LUCENE-8475: Deprecated constants have been removed from RamUsageEstimator.
  (Dimitrios Athanasiou)
23. LUCENE-8483: Scorers may no longer take null as a Weight
  (Alan Woodward)
24. LUCENE-8352: TokenStreamComponents is now final, and can take a Consumer<Reader> in its constructor
  (Mark Harwood, Alan Woodward, Adrien Grand)
25. LUCENE-8498: LowerCaseTokenizer has been removed, and CharTokenizer no longer takes a normalizer function.
  (Alan Woodward)
26. LUCENE-7875: Moved MultiFields static methods out of the class. getLiveDocs is now in MultiBits which is now public. getMergedFieldInfos and getIndexedFields are now in FieldInfos. getTerms is now in MultiTerms. getTermPositionsEnum and getTermDocsEnum were collapsed and renamed to just getTermPostingsEnum and moved to MultiTerms.
  (David Smiley)
27. LUCENE-8513: MultiFields.getFields is now removed. Please avoid this class, and Fields in general, when possible.
  (David Smiley)
28. LUCENE-8497: MultiTermAwareComponent has been removed, and in its place TokenFilterFactory and CharFilterFactory now expose type-safe normalize() methods. This decouples normalization from tokenization entirely.
  (Mayya Sharipova, Alan Woodward)
29. LUCENE-8597: IntervalIterator now exposes a gaps() method that reports the number of gaps between its component sub-intervals. This can be used in a new filter available via Intervals.maxgaps().
  (Alan Woodward)
30. LUCENE-8609: Remove IndexWriter#numDocs() and IndexWriter#maxDoc() in favor of IndexWriter#getDocStats().
  (Simon Willnauer)
31. LUCENE-8292: Make TermsEnum fully abstract.
  (Simon Willnauer)
Changes in Runtime Behavior (15)
1. LUCENE-8333: Switch MoreLikeThis.setMaxDocFreqPct to use maxDoc instead of numDocs.
  (Robert Muir, Dawid Weiss).
2. LUCENE-7837: Indices that were created before the previous major version will now fail to open even if they have been merged with the previous major version.
  (Adrien Grand)
3. LUCENE-8020: Similarities are no longer passed terms that don't exist by queries such as SpanOrQuery, so scoring formulas no longer require divide-by-zero hacks. IndexSearcher.termStatistics/collectionStatistics return null instead of returning bogus values for a non-existent term or field.
  (Robert Muir)
4. LUCENE-7996: FunctionQuery and FunctionScoreQuery now return a score of 0 when the function produces a negative value.
  (Adrien Grand)
5. LUCENE-8116: Similarities now score fields that omit norms as if the norm was 1. This might change score values on fields that omit norms.
  (Adrien Grand)
6. LUCENE-8134: Index options are no longer automatically downgraded.
  (Adrien Grand)
7. LUCENE-8031: Length normalization correctly reflects omission of term frequencies.
  (Robert Muir, Adrien Grand)
8. LUCENE-7444: StandardAnalyzer no longer defaults to removing English stopwords
  (Alan Woodward)
9. LUCENE-8060: IndexSearcher's search and searchAfter methods now only compute total hit counts accurately up to 1,000 in order to enable top-hits optimizations such as block-max WAND (LUCENE-8135).
  (Adrien Grand)
10. LUCENE-8505: IndexWriter#addIndices will now fail if the target index is sorted but the candidate is not.
  (Jim Ferenczi)
11. LUCENE-8535: Highlighter and FVH doesn't support ToParent and ToChildBlockJoinQuery out of the box anymore. In order to highlight on Block-Join Queries a custom WeightedSpanTermExtractor / FieldQuery should be used.
  (Simon Willnauer, Jim Ferenczi, Julie Tibshirani)
12. LUCENE-8563: BM25 scores don't include the (k1+1) factor in their numerator anymore. This doesn't affect ordering as this is a constant factor which is the same for every document.
  (Luca Cavanna via Adrien Grand)
13. LUCENE-8509: WordDelimiterGraphFilter will no longer set the offsets of internal tokens by default, preventing a number of bugs when the filter is chained with tokenfilters that change the length of their tokens
  (Alan Woodward)
14. LUCENE-8633: IntervalQuery scores do not use term weighting any more, the score is instead calculated as a function of the sloppy frequency of the matching intervals.
  (Alan Woodward, Jim Ferenczi)
15. LUCENE-8635: FSTs can now remain off-heap, accessed via IndexInput, and the default codec's term dictionary (BlockTreeTermsReader) will now leave the FST for the terms index off-heap for non-primary-key fields using MMapDirectory, reducing heap usage for such fields.
  (Ankit Jain)
New Features (12)
1. LUCENE-8340: LongPoint#newDistanceFeatureQuery may be used to boost scores based on how close a value of a long field is from an configurable origin. This is typically useful to boost by recency.
  (Adrien Grand)
2. LUCENE-8482: LatLonPoint#newDistanceFeatureQuery may be used to boost scores based on the haversine distance of a LatLonPoint field to a provided point. This is typically useful to boost by distance.
  (Ignacio Vera)
3. LUCENE-8216: Added a new BM25FQuery in sandbox to blend statistics across several fields using the BM25F formula.
  (Adrien Grand, Jim Ferenczi)
4. LUCENE-8564: GraphTokenFilter is an abstract class useful for token filters that need to read-ahead in the token stream and take into account graph structures. This also changes FixedShingleFilter to extend GraphTokenFilter
  (Alan Woodward)
5. LUCENE-8612: Intervals.extend() treats an interval as if it covered a wider span than it actually does, allowing users to force minimum gaps between intervals in a phrase.
  (Alan Woodward)
6. LUCENE-8629: New interval functions: Intervals.before(), Intervals.after(), Intervals.within() and Intervals.overlapping().
  (Alan Woodward)
7. LUCENE-8622: Adds a minimum-should-match interval function that produces intervals spanning a subset of a set of sources.
  (Alan Woodward)
8. LUCENE-8645: Intervals.fixField() allows you to report intervals from one field as if they came from another.
  (Alan Woodward)
9. LUCENE-8646: New interval functions: Intervals.prefix() and Intervals.wildcard()
  (Alan Woodward)
10. LUCENE-8655: Add a getter in FunctionScoreQuery class in order to access to the underlying DoubleValuesSource.
  (Gérald Quaire via Alan Woodward)
11. LUCENE-8697: GraphTokenStreamFiniteStrings correctly handles side paths containing gaps
  (Alan Woodward)
12. LUCENE-8702: Simplify intervals returned from vararg Intervals factory methods
  (Alan Woodward)
Improvements (6)
1. LUCENE-7997: Add BaseSimilarityTestCase to sanity check similarities. SimilarityBase switches to 64-bit doubles internally to help avoid common numeric issues. Add missing range checks for similarity parameters. Improve BM25 and ClassicSimilarity's explanations.
  (Robert Muir)
2. LUCENE-8011: Improved similarity explanations.
  (Mayya Sharipova via Adrien Grand)
3. LUCENE-4198: Codecs now have the ability to index score impacts.
  (Adrien Grand)
4. LUCENE-8135: Boolean queries now implement the block-max WAND algorithm in order to speed up selection of top scored documents.
  (Adrien Grand)
5. LUCENE-8279: CheckIndex now cross-checks terms with norms.
  (Adrien Grand)
6. LUCENE-8660: TopDocsCollectors now return an accurate count (instead of a lower bound) if the total hit count is equal to the provided threshold.
  (Adrien Grand, Jim Ferenczi)
Optimizations (12)
1. LUCENE-8040: Optimize IndexSearcher.collectionStatistics, avoiding MultiFields/MultiTerms
  (David Smiley, Robert Muir)
2. LUCENE-4100: Disjunctions now support faster collection of top hits when the total hit count is not required.
  (Stefan Pohl, Adrien Grand, Robert Muir)
3. LUCENE-7993: Phrase queries are now faster if total hit counts are not required.
  (Adrien Grand)
4. LUCENE-8109: Boolean queries propagate information about the minimum competitive score in order to make collection faster if there are disjunctions or phrase queries as sub queries, which know how to leverage this information to run faster.
  (Adrien Grand)
5. LUCENE-8439: Disjunction max queries can skip blocks to select the top documents if the total hit count is not required.
  (Jim Ferenczi, Adrien Grand)
6. LUCENE-8204: Boolean queries with a mix of required and optional clauses are now faster if the total hit count is not required.
  (Jim Ferenczi, Adrien Grand)
7. LUCENE-8448: Boolean queries now propagates the mininum score to their sub-scorers.
  (Jim Ferenczi, Adrien Grand)
8. LUCENE-8511: MultiFields.getIndexedFields is now optimized; does not call getMergedFieldInfos
  (David Smiley)
9. LUCENE-8507: TopFieldCollector can now update the minimum competitive score if the primary sort is by relevancy and the total hit count is not required.
  (Jim Ferenczi)
10. LUCENE-8464: ConstantScoreScorer now implements setMinCompetitveScore in order to early terminate the iterator if the minimum score is greater than the constant score.
  (Christophe Bismuth via Jim Ferenczi)
11. LUCENE-8607: MatchAllDocsQuery can shortcut when total hit count is not required
  (Alan Woodward, Adrien Grand)
12. LUCENE-8585: Index-time jump-tables for DocValues, for O(1) advance when retrieving doc values.
  (Toke Eskildsen, Adrien Grand)

Release 7.7.2 [2019-06-04]

Bug fixes (6)
1. LUCENE-8726: ValueSource.asDoubleValuesSource() could leak a reference to IndexSearcher
  (Alan Woodward, Yury Pakhomov)
2. LUCENE-8735: FilterDirectory.getPendingDeletions now forwards to the delegate even the method is not abstract in the super class. This prevents issues where our best effort in carrying on generations in the IndexWriter since pending deletions are swallowed by the FilterDirectory.
  (Henning Andersen, Simon Willnauer)
3. LUCENE-8688: TieredMergePolicy#findForcedMerges now tries to create the cheapest merges that allow the index to go down to `maxSegmentCount` segments or less.
  (Armin Braun via Adrien Grand)
4. LUCENE-8785: Ensure new threadstates are locked before retrieving the number of active threadstates. This causes assertion errors and potentially broken field attributes in the IndexWriter when IndexWriter#deleteAll is called while actively indexing.
  (Simon Willnauer)
5. LUCENE-8720: NameIntCacheLRU (in the facets module) had an int overflow bug that disabled cleaning of the cache
  (Russell A Brown)
6. LUCENE-8809: Refresh and rollback concurrently can leave segment states unclosed
  (Nhat Nguyen)

  (Nick Knize)
2. LUCENE-8603: Fix the inversion of right ids for additional nouns in the Korean user dictionary.
  (Yoo Jeongin via Jim Ferenczi)
3. LUCENE-8624: int overflow in ByteBuffersDataOutput.size().
  (Mulugeta Mammo, Dawid Weiss)
4. LUCENE-8625: int overflow in ByteBuffersDataInput.sliceBufferList.
  (Mulugeta Mammo, Dawid Weiss)
5. LUCENE-8639: Newly created threadstates while flushing / refreshing can cause duplicated sequence IDs on IndexWriter.
  (Simon Willnauer)
6. LUCENE-8649: LatLonShape's within and disjoint queries can return false positives with indexed multi-shapes.
  (Ignacio Vera)
7. LUCENE-8654: Polygon2D#relateTriangle returns the wrong answer if polygon is inside the triangle.
  (Ignacio Vera)
8. LUCENE-8650: ConcatenatingTokenStream did not correctly clear its state in reset(), and was not propagating final position increments from its child streams correctly.
  (Dan Meehl, Alan Woodward)
9. LUCENE-8676: The Korean tokenizer does not update the last position if the backtrace is caused by a big buffer (1024 chars).
  (Jim Ferenczi)
New Features (3)
1. LUCENE-8026: ExitableDirectoryReader may now time out queries that run on points such as range queries or geo queries.
  (Christophe Bismuth via Adrien Grand)
2. LUCENE-8508: IndexWriter can now set the created version via IndexWriterConfig#setIndexCreatedVersionMajor. This is an expert feature.
  (Adrien Grand)
3. LUCENE-8601: Attributes set in the IndexableFieldType for each field during indexing will now be recorded into the corresponding FieldInfo's attributes, accessible at search time
  (Murali Krishna P)
Improvements (8)
1. LUCENE-8463: TopFieldCollector can now early-terminates queries when sorting by SortField.DOC.
  (Christophe Bismuth via Jim Ferenczi)
2. LUCENE-8562: Speed up merging segments of points with data dimensions by only sorting on the indexed dimensions.
  (Ignacio Vera)
3. LUCENE-8529: TopSuggestDocsCollector will now use the completion key to tiebreak completion suggestion with identical scores.
  (Jim Ferenczi)
4. LUCENE-8575: SegmentInfos#toString now includes attributes and diagnostics.
  (Namgyu Kim via Adrien Grand)
5. LUCENE-8548: The KoreanTokenizer no longer splits unknown words on combining diacritics and detects script boundaries more accurately with Character#UnicodeScript#of.
  (Christophe Bismuth, Jim Ferenczi)
6. LUCENE-8581: Change LatLonShape encoding to use 4 bytes Per Dimension.
  (Ignacio Vera, Nick Knize, Adrien Grand)
7. LUCENE-8527: Upgrade JFlex dependency to 1.7.0; in StandardTokenizer and UAX29URLEmailTokenizer, increase supported Unicode version from 6.3 to 9.0, and support Unicode UTS#51 v11.0 Emoji tokenization.
8. LUCENE-8640: Date Range format validation
  (Lucky Sharma, David Smiley via Mikhail Khludnev)
Optimizations (6)
1. LUCENE-8552: FieldInfos.getMergedFieldInfos no longer does any merging if there is <= 1 segment.
  (Christophe Bismuth via David Smiley)
2. LUCENE-8590: BufferedUpdates now uses an optimized storage for buffering docvalues updates that can safe up to 80% of the heap used compared to the previous implementation and uses non-object based datastructures.
  (Simon Willnauer, Mike McCandless, Shai Erera, Adrien Grand)
3. LUCENE-8598: Moved to the default accepted overhead ratio for packet ints in DocValuesFieldUpdats yields an up-to 4x performance improvement when applying doc values updates.
  (Simon Willnauer, Adrien Grand)
4. LUCENE-8599: Use sparse bitset to store docs in SingleValueDocValuesFieldUpdates.
  (Simon Willnauer, Adrien Grand)
5. LUCENE-8600: Doc-value updates get applied faster by sorting with quicksort, rather than an in-place mergesort, which needs to perform fewer swaps.
  (Adrien Grand)
6. LUCENE-8623: Decrease I/O pressure when merging high dimensional points.
  (Ignacio Vera)
Test Framework (1)
1. LUCENE-8604: TestRuleLimitSysouts now has an optional "hard limit" of bytes that can be written to stderr and stdout (anything beyond the hard limit is ignored). The default hard limit is 2 GB of logs per test class.
  (Dawid Weiss)
Other (3)
1. LUCENE-8573: BKDWriter now uses FutureArrays#mismatch to compute shared prefixes.
  (Christoph Büscher via Adrien Grand)
2. LUCENE-8605: Separate bounding box spatial logic from query logic on LatLonShapeBoundingBoxQuery.
  (Ignacio Vera)
3. LUCENE-8609: Deprecated IndexWriter#numDocs() and IndexWriter#maxDoc() in favor of IndexWriter#getDocStats() that allows to get consistent numDocs and maxDoc stats that are not subject to concurrent changes.
  (Simon Willnauer, Nhat Nguyen)

Release 7.6.0 [2018-12-14]

Build (2)
1. LUCENE-8504: Upgrade forbiddenapis to version 2.6.
  (Uwe Schindler)
2. LUCENE-8493: Stop publishing insecure .sha1 files with releases
  (janhoy)
Bug fixes (13)
1. LUCENE-8479: QueryBuilder#analyzeGraphPhrase now throws TooManyClause exception if the number of expanded path reaches the BooleanQuery#maxClause limit.
  (Jim Ferenczi)
2. LUCENE-8522: throw InvalidShapeException when constructing a polygon and all points are coplanar.
  (Ignacio Vera)
3. LUCENE-8531: QueryBuilder#analyzeGraphPhrase now creates one phrase query per finite strings in the graph if the slop is greater than 0. Span queries cannot be used in this case because they don't handle slop the same way than phrase queries.
  (Steve Rowe, Uwe Schindler, Jim Ferenczi)
4. LUCENE-8524: Add the Hangul Letter Araea (interpunct) as a separator in Nori's tokenizer. This change also removes empty terms and trim surface form in Nori's Korean dictionary.
  (Trey Jones, Jim Ferenczi)
5. LUCENE-8550: Fix filtering of coplanar points when creating linked list on polygon tesselator.
  (Ignacio Vera)
6. LUCENE-8549: Polygon tessellator throws an error if some parts of the shape could not be processed.
  (Ignacio Vera)
7. LUCENE-8540: Better handling of min/max values for Geo3d encoding.
  (Ignacio Vera)
8. LUCENE-8534: Fix incorrect computation for triangles intersecting polygon edges in shape tessellation.
  (Ignacio Vera)
9. LUCENE-8559: Fix bug where polygon edges were skipped when checking for intersections.
  (Ignacio Vera)
10. LUCENE-8556: Use latitude and longitude instead of encoding values to check if triangle is ear when using morton optimisation.
  (Ignacio Vera)
11. LUCENE-8586: Intervals.or() could get stuck in an infinite loop on certain indexes
  (Alan Woodward)
12. LUCENE-8595: Fix interleaved DV update and reset. Interleaved update and reset value to the same doc in the same updates package looses an update if the reset comes before the update as well as loosing the reset if the update comes frist.
  (Simon Willnauer, Adrien Grand)
13. LUCENE-8592: Fix index sorting corruption due to numeric overflow. The merge of sorted segments can produce an invalid sort if the sort field is an Integer/Long that uses reverse order and contains values equal to Integer/Long#MIN_VALUE. These values are always sorted first during a merge (instead of last because of the reverse order) due to this bug. Indices affected by the bug can be detected by running the CheckIndex command on a distribution that contains the fix (7.6+).
  (Jim Ferenczi, Adrien Grand, Mike McCandless, Simon Willnauer)
New Features (5)
1. LUCENE-8496: Selective indexing - modify BKDReader/BKDWriter to allow users to select a fewer number of dimensions to be used for creating the index than the total number of dimensions used for field encoding. i.e., dimensions 0 to N may be used to determine how to split the inner nodes, and dimensions N+1 to D are ignored and stored as data dimensions at the leaves.
  (Nick Knize)
2. LUCENE-8538: Add a Simple WKT Shape Parser for creating Lucene Geometries (Polygon, Line, Rectangle) from WKT format.
  (Nick Knize)
3. LUCENE-8462: Adds an Arabic snowball stemmer based on https://github.com/snowballstem/snowball/blob/master/algorithms/arabic.sbl
  (Ryadh Dahimene via Jim Ferenczi)
4. LUCENE-8554: Add new LatLonShapeLineQuery that queries indexed LatLonShape fields by arbitrary lines.
  (Nick Knize)
5. LUCENE-8555: Add dateline crossing support to LatLonShapeBoundingBoxQuery.
  (Nick Knize)
Improvements (3)
1. LUCENE-8521: Change LatLonShape encoding to 7 dimensions instead of 6; where the first 4 are index dimensions defining the bounding box of the Triangle and the remaining 3 data dimensions define the vertices of the triangle.
  (Nick Knize)
2. LUCENE-8557: LeafReader.getFieldInfos is now documented and tested that it ought to return the same cached instance. MemoryIndex's impl now pre-creates the FieldInfos instead of re-calculating a new instance each time.
  (Tim Underwood, David Smiley)
3. LUCENE-8558: Replace O(N) lookup with O(1) lookup in PerFieldMergeState#FilterFieldInfos.
  (Kranthi via Simon Willnauer)
Other (2)
1. LUCENE-8523: Correct typo in JapaneseNumberFilterFactory javadocs
  (Ankush Jhalani via Alan Woodward)
2. LUCENE-8533: Fix Javadocs of DataInput#readVInt(): Negative numbers are supported, but should be avoided.
  (Vladimir Dolzhenko via Uwe Schindler)

Release 7.5.1

Bug Fixes (1)

  (Nick Knize)

Release 7.5.0 [2018-09-24]

API Changes (18)
1. LUCENE-8467: RAMDirectory, RAMFile, RAMInputStream, RAMOutputStream are deprecated
  (Dawid Weiss)
2. LUCENE-8356: StandardFilter is deprecated
  (Alan Woodward)
3. LUCENE-8373: ENGLISH_STOP_WORD_SET on StandardAnalyzer is deprecated. Instead use EnglishAnalyzer.ENGLISH_STOP_WORD_SET. The default constructor for StopAnalyzer is also deprecated, and a stop word set should be explicitly passed to the constructor.
  (Alan Woodward)
4. LUCENE-8378: Add DocIdSetIterator.range static method to return an iterator matching a range of docids
  (Mike McCandless)
5. LUCENE-8379: Add experimental TermQuery.getTermStates method
  (Mike McCandless)
6. LUCENE-8407: Add experimental SpanTermQuery.getTermStates method

  (Mike McCandless)
10. LUCENE-8263: TieredMergePolicy's reclaimDeletesWeight has been replaced with a new deletesPctAllowed setting to control how aggressively deletes should be reclaimed.
  (Erick Erickson, Adrien Grand)
11. LUCENE-7314: Graduate LatLonPoint and query classes to core
  (Nick Knize)
12. LUCENE-8428: The way that oal.util.PriorityQueue creates sentinel objects has been changed from a protected method to a java.util.function.Supplier as a constructor argument.
  (Adrien Grand)
13. LUCENE-8437: CheckIndex.Status.cantOpenSegments and missingSegmentVersion have been removed as they were not computed correctly.
  (Adrien Grand)
14. LUCENE-8286: The UnifiedHighlighter has a new HighlightFlag.WEIGHT_MATCHES flag that will tell this highlighter to use the new MatchesIterator API as the underlying approach to navigate matching hits for a query. This mode will highlight more accurately than any other highlighter, and can mark up phrases as one span instead of word-by-word. The UH's public internal APIs changed a bit in the process.
  (David Smiley)
15. LUCENE-8471: IndexWriter.getFlushingBytes() returns how many bytes are currently being flushed to disk.
  (Alan Woodward)
16. LUCENE-8422: Static helper functions for Matches and MatchesIterator implementations have been moved from Matches to MatchesUtils
  (Alan Woodward)
17. LUCENE-8343: Suggesters now require Long (versus long, previously) from weight() method while indexing, and provide double (versus long, previously) scores at lookup time
  (Alessandro Benedetti)
18. LUCENE-8459: SearcherTaxonomyManager now has a constructor taking already opened IndexReaders, allowing the caller to pass a FilterDirectoryReader, for example.
  (Mike McCandless)
Bug Fixes (13)
1. LUCENE-8445: Tighten condition when two planes are identical to prevent constructing bogus tiles when building GeoPolygons.
  (Ignacio Vera)
2. LUCENE-8444: Prevent building functionally identical plane bounds when constructing DualCrossingEdgeIterator .
  (Ignacio Vera)
3. LUCENE-8380: UTF8TaxonomyWriterCache inconsistency.
  (Ruslan Torobaev, Dawid Weiss)
4. LUCENE-8164: IndexWriter silently accepts broken payload. This has been fixed via LUCENE-8165 since we are now checking for offset+length going out of bounds.
  (Robert Muir, Nhat Nyugen, Simon Willnauer)
5. LUCENE-8370: Reproducing TestLucene{54,70}DocValuesFormat.testSortedSetVariableLengthBigVsStoredFields() failures
  (Erick Erickson)
6. LUCENE-8376, LUCENE-8371: ConditionalTokenFilter.end() would not propagate correctly if the last token in the stream was subsequently dropped; FixedShingleFilter did not set position increment in end()
  (Alan Woodward)
7. LUCENE-8395: WordDelimiterGraphFilter would incorrectly insert a hole into a TokenStream if a token consisting entirely of delimiter characters was encountered, but preserve_original was set.
  (Alan Woodward)
8. LUCENE-8398: TieredMergePolicy.getMaxMergedSegmentMB has rounding error
  (Erick Erickson)
9. LUCENE-8429: DaciukMihovAutomatonBuilder is no longer prone to stack overflows by enforcing a maximum term length.
  (Adrien Grand)
10. LUCENE-8441: IndexWriter now checks doc value type for index sort fields and fails the document if they are not compatible.
  (Jim Ferenczi, Mike McCandless)
11. LUCENE-8458: Adjust initialization condition of PendingSoftDeletes and ensures it is initialized before accepting deletes
  (Simon Willnauer, Nhat Nguyen)
12. LUCENE-8466: IndexWriter.deleteDocs(Query... query) incorrectly applies deletes on flush if the index is sorted.
  (Adrien Grand, Jim Ferenczi, Vish Ramachandran)
13. LUCENE-8502: Allow access to delegate in FilterCodecReader. FilterCodecReader didn't allow access to it's delegate like other filter readers. This adds a new #getDelegate method to access the wrapped reader.
  (Simon Willnauer)
Changes in Runtime Behavior (3)
1. LUCENE-7976: TieredMergePolicy now respects maxSegmentSizeMB by default when executing findForcedMerges and findForcedDeletesMerges
  (Erick Erickson)
2. LUCENE-8263: TieredMergePolicy now reclaims deleted documents more aggressively by default ensuring that no more than ~1/3 of the index size is used by deleted documents.
  (Adrien Grand)
3. LUCENE-8503: Call #getDelegate instead of direct member access during unwrap. Filter*Reader instances access the member or the delegate directly instead of calling getDelegate(). In order to track access of the delegate these methods should call #getDelegate()
  (Simon Willnauer)
Improvements (14)
1. LUCENE-8468: A ByteBuffer based Directory implementation.
  (Dawid Weiss)
2. LUCENE-8447: Add DISJOINT and WITHIN support to LatLonShape queries.
  (Nick Knize)
3. LUCENE-8440: Add support for indexing and searching Line and Point shapes using LatLonShape encoding
  (Nick Knize)
4. LUCENE-8435: Add new LatLonShapePolygonQuery for querying indexed LatLonShape fields by arbitrary polygons
  (Nick Knize)
5. LUCENE-8367: Make per-dimension drill down optional for each facet dimension
  (Mike McCandless)
6. LUCENE-8396: Add Points Based Shape Indexing and Search that decomposes shapes into a triangular mesh and indexes individual triangles as a 6 dimension point
  (Nick Knize)
7. LUCENE-8345, GitHub PR #392: Remove instantiation of redundant wrapper classes for primitives; add wrapper class constructors to forbiddenapis.
  (Michael Braun via Uwe Schindler)
8. LUCENE-8415: Clean up Directory contracts and JavaDoc comments.
  (Dawid Weiss)
9. LUCENE-8414: Make segmentInfos private in IndexWriter
  (Simon Willnauer, Nhat Nguyen)
10. LUCENE-8446: The UnifiedHighlighter's DefaultPassageFormatter now treats overlapping matches in the passage as merged (as if one larger match).
  (David Smiley)
11. LUCENE-8460: Better argument validation in StoredField.
  (Namgyu Kim)
12. LUCENE-8432: TopFieldComparator stops comparing documents if the index is sorted, even if hits still need to be visited to compute the hit count.
  (Nikolay Khitrin)
13. LUCENE-8422: IntervalQuery now returns useful Matches
  (Alan Woodward)
14. LUCENE-7862: Store the real bounds of the leaf cells in the BKD index when the number of dimensions is bigger than 1. It improves performance when there is correlation between the dimensions, for example ranges.
  (Ignacio Vera, Adrien Grand)
Build (1)
1. LUCENE-5143: Stop publishing KEYS file with each version, use topmost lucene/KEYS file only. The buildAndPushRelease.py script validates that RM's PGP key is in the KEYS file. Remove unused 'copy-to-stage' and '-dist-keys' targets from ant build.
  (janhoy)
Other (9)
1. LUCENE-8485: Update randomizedtesting to version 2.6.4.
  (Dawid Weiss)
2. LUCENE-8366: Upgrade to ICU 62.1. Emoji handling now uses Unicode 11's Extended_Pictographic property.
  (Robert Muir)
3. LUCENE-8408: original Highlighter: Remove obsolete static AttributeFactory instance in TokenStreamFromTermVector.
  (Michael Braun, David Smiley)
4. LUCENE-8420: Upgrade OpenNLP to 1.9.0 so OpenNLP tool can read the new model format which 1.8.x cannot read. 1.9.0 can read the old format.
  (Koji Sekiguchi)
5. LUCENE-8453: Add documentation to analysis factories of Korean (Nori) analyzer module.
  (Tomoko Uchida via Uwe Schindler)
6. LUCENE-8455: Upgrade ECJ compiler to 4.6.1 in lucene/common-build.xml
  (Erick Erickson)
7. LUCENE-8456: Upgrade Apache Commons Compress to v1.18
  (Steve Rowe)
8. LUCENE-765: Improved org.apache.lucene.index javadocs.
  (Mike Sokolov)
9. LUCENE-8476: Remove redundant nullity check and switch to optimized List.sort in the Korean's user dictionary.
  (Namgyu Kim)

Release 7.4.1

Bug Fixes (4)
1. LUCENE-8365: Fix ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException in UnifiedHighlighter. This fixes a "off by one" error in the UnifiedHighlighter's code that is only triggered when two nested SpanNearQueries contain the same term.
  (Marc-Andre Morissette via Simon Willnauer)
2. LUCENE-8381: Fix IndexWriter incorrectly interprets hard-deletes as soft-deletes while wrapping reader for merges.
  (Simon Willnauer, Nhat Nguyen)
3. LUCENE-8384: Fix missing advance docValues generation while handling docValues update in PendingSoftDeletes.
  (Simon Willnauer, Nhat Nguyen)
4. LUCENE-8472: Always rewrite the soft-deletes merge retention query.
  (Adrien Grand, Nhat Nguyen)

Release 7.4.0 [2018-06-27]

Upgrading (1)
1. LUCENE-8344: If you are using the AnalyzingSuggester or FuzzySuggester subclass, and if you explicitly use the preservePositionIncrements=false setting (not the default), then you ought to rebuild your suggester index. If you don't, queries or indexed data with trailing position gaps (e.g. stop words) may not work correctly.
  (David Smiley, Jim Ferenczi)
API Changes (3)
1. LUCENE-8242: IndexSearcher.createNormalizedWeight() has been deprecated. Instead use IndexSearcher.createWeight(), rewriting the query first.
  (Alan Woodward)
2. LUCENE-8248: MergePolicyWrapper is renamed to FilterMergePolicy and now also overrides getMaxCFSSegmentSizeMB
  (Mike Sokolov via Mike McCandless)
3. LUCENE-8303: LiveDocsFormat is now only responsible for (de)serialization of live docs.
  (Adrien Grand)
Changes in Runtime Behavior (2)
1. LUCENE-8309: Live docs are no longer backed by a FixedBitSet.
  (Adrien Grand)
2. LUCENE-8330: Detach IndexWriter from MergePolicy. MergePolicy now instead of requiring IndexWriter as a hard dependency expects a MergeContext which IndexWriter implements.
  (Simon Willnauer, Robert Muir, Dawid Weiss, Mike McCandless)
New Features (19)
1. LUCENE-8200: Allow doc-values to be updated atomically together with a document. Doc-Values updates now can be used as a soft-delete mechanism to all keeping several version of a document or already deleted documents around for later reuse. See "IW.softUpdateDocument(...)" for reference.
  (Simon Willnauer)
2. LUCENE-8197: A new FeatureField makes it easy and efficient to integrate static relevance signals into the final score.
  (Adrien Grand, Robert Muir)
3. LUCENE-8202: Add a FixedShingleFilter
  (Alan Woodward, Adrien Grand, Jim Ferenczi)
4. LUCENE-8125: ICUTokenizer support for emoji/emoji sequence tokens.
  (Robert Muir)
5. LUCENE-8196, LUCENE-8300: A new IntervalQuery in the sandbox allows efficient proximity searches based on minimum-interval semantics.
  (Alan Woodward, Adrien Grand, Jim Ferenczi, Simon Willnauer, Matt Weber)
6. LUCENE-8233: Add support for soft deletes to IndexWriter delete accounting. Soft deletes are accounted for inside the index writer and therefor also by merge policies. A SoftDeletesRetentionMergePolicy is added that allows to selectively carry over soft_deleted document across merges for retention policies
  (Simon Willnauer, Mike McCandless, Robert Muir)
7. LUCENE-8237: Add a SoftDeletesDirectoryReaderWrapper that allows to respect soft deletes if the reader is opened form a directory.
  (Simon Willnauer, Mike McCandless, Uwe Schindler, Adrien Grand)
8. LUCENE-8229, LUCENE-8270: Add a method Weight.matches(LeafReaderContext, doc) that returns an iterator over matching positions for a given query and document. This allows exact hit extraction and will enable implementation of accurate highlighters.
  (Alan Woodward, Adrien Grand, David Smiley)
9. LUCENE-8249: Implement Matches API for phrase queries
  (Alan Woodward, Adrien Grand)
10. LUCENE-8246: Allow to customize the number of deletes a merge claims. This helps merge policies in the soft-delete case to correctly implement retention policies without triggering uncessary merges.
  (Simon Willnauer, Mike McCandless)
11. LUCENE-8231: A new analysis module (nori) similar to Kuromoji but to handle Korean using mecab-ko-dic and morphological analysis.
  (Robert Muir, Jim Ferenczi)
12. LUCENE-8265: WordDelimter/GraphFilter now have an option to skip tokens marked with KeywordAttribute
  (Mike Sokolov via Mike McCandless)
13. LUCENE-8297: Add IW#tryUpdateDocValues(Reader, int, Fields...) IndexWriter can update doc values for a specific term but this might affect all documents containing the term. With tryUpdateDocValues users can update doc-values fields for individual documents. This allows for instance to soft-delete individual documents.
  (Simon Willnauer)
14. LUCENE-8298: Allow DocValues updates to reset a value. Passing a DV field with a null value to IW#updateDocValues or IW#tryUpdateDocValues will now remove the value from the provided document. This allows to undelete a soft-deleted document unless it's been claimed by a merge.
  (Simon Willnauer)
15. LUCENE-8273: ConditionalTokenFilter allows analysis chains to skip particular token filters based on the attributes of the current token. This generalises the keyword token logic currently used for stemmers and WDF. It is integrated into CustomAnalyzer by using the `when` and `whenTerm` builder methods, and a new ProtectedTermFilter is added as an example.
  (Alan Woodward, Robert Muir, David Smiley, Steve Rowe, Mike Sokolov)
16. LUCENE-8310: Ensure IndexFileDeleter accounts for pending deletes. Today we fail creating the IndexWriter when the directory has a pending delete. Yet, this is mainly done to prevent writing still existing files more than once. IndexFileDeleter already accounts for that for existing files which we can now use to also take pending deletes into account which ensures that all file generations per segment always go forward.
  (Simon Willnauer)
17. LUCENE-7960: Add preserveOriginal option to the NGram and EdgeNGram filters.
  (Ingomar Wesp, Shawn Heisey via Robert Muir)
18. LUCENE-8335: Enforce soft-deletes field up-front. Soft deletes field must be marked as such once it's introduced and can't be changed after the fact.
  (Nhat Nguyen via Simon Willnauer)
19. LUCENE-8332: New ConcatenateGraphFilter for concatenating all tokens into one (or more in the event of a graph input). This is useful for fast analyzed exact-match lookup, suggesters, and as a component of a named entity recognition system. This was excised out of CompletionTokenStream in the NRT doc suggester.
  (David Smiley, Jim Ferenczi)
Bug Fixes (19)
1. LUCENE-8221: MoreLikeThis.setMaxDocFreqPct can easily int-overflow on larger indexes.
2. LUCENE-8266: Detect bogus tiles when creating a standard polygon and throw a TileException.
  (Ignacio Vera)
3. LUCENE-8234: Fixed bug in how spatial relationship is computed for GeoStandardCircle when it covers the whole world.
  (Ignacio Vera)
4. LUCENE-8236: Filter duplicated points when creating GeoPath shapes to avoid creation of bogus planes.
  (Ignacio Vera)
5. LUCENE-8243: IndexWriter.addIndexes(Directory[]) did not properly preserve index file names for updated doc values fields
  (Simon Willnauer, Michael McCandless, Nhat Nguyen)
6. LUCENE-8275: Push up #checkPendingDeletes to Directory to ensure IW fails if the directory has pending deletes files even if the directory is filtered or a FileSwitchDirectory
  (Simon Willnauer, Robert Muir)
7. LUCENE-8244: Do not leak open file descriptors in SearcherTaxonomyManager's refresh on exception
  (Mike McCandless)
8. LUCENE-8305: ComplexPhraseQuery.rewrite now handles an embedded MultiTermQuery that rewrites to a MatchNoDocsQuery instead of throwing an exception.
  (Bjarke Mortensen, Andy Tran via David Smiley)
9. LUCENE-8287: Ensure that empty regex completion queries always return no results.
  (Julie Tibshirani via Jim Ferenczi)
10. LUCENE-8317: Prevent concurrent deletes from being applied during full flush. Future deletes could potentially be exposed to flushes/commits/refreshes if the amount of RAM used by deletes is greater than half of the IW RAM buffer.
  (Simon Willnauer)
11. LUCENE-8320: Fix WindowsFS to correctly account for rename and hardlinks.
  (Simon Willnauer, Nhat Nguyen)
12. LUCENE-8328: Ensure ReadersAndUpdates consistently executes under lock.
  (Nhat Nguyen via Simon Willnauer)
13. LUCENE-8325: Fixed the smartcn tokenizer to not split UTF-16 surrogate pairs.
  (chengpohi via Jim Ferenczi)
14. LUCENE-8186: LowerCaseTokenizerFactory now lowercases text in multi-term queries.
  (Tim Allison via Adrien Grand)
15. LUCENE-8278: Some end-of-input no-scheme domain-only URL tokens are typed as <ALPHANUM> rather than <URL>.
  (Junte Zhang, Steve Rowe)
16. LUCENE-8355: Prevent IW from opening an already dropped segment while DV updates are written.
  (Nhat Nguyen via Simon Willnauer)
17. LUCENE-8344: TokenStreamToAutomaton (used by some suggesters) was not ignoring a trailing position increment when the preservePositionIncrement setting is false.
  (David Smiley, Jim Ferenczi)
18. LUCENE-8357: FunctionScoreQuery.boostByQuery() and boostByValue() were producing truncated Explanations
  (Markus Jelsma, Alan Woodward)
19. LUCENE-8360: NGramTokenFilter and EdgeNGramTokenFilter did not correctly set position increments in end()
  (Alan Woodward)
Other (9)
1. LUCENE-8301: Update randomizedtesting to 2.6.0.
  (Dawid Weiss)
2. LUCENE-8299: Geo3D wrapper uses new polygon method factory that gives better support for polygons with many points (>100).
  (Ignacio vera)
3. LUCENE-8261: InterpolatedProperties.interpolate and recursive property references.
  (Steve Rowe, Dawid Weiss)
4. LUCENE-8228: removed obsolete IndexDeletionPolicy clone() requirements from the javadoc.
  (Dawid Weiss)
5. LUCENE-8219: Use a realistic estimate of the number of nodes and links in LevensteinAutomaton.java, to save reallocation of arrays.
  (Christian Ziech)
6. LUCENE-8214: Improve selection of testPoint for GeoComplexPolygon.
  (Ignacio Vera)
7. SOLR-10912: Add automatic patch validation.
  (Mano Kovacs, Steve Rowe)
8. LUCENE-8122, LUCENE-8175: Upgrade analysis/icu to ICU 61.1.
  (Robert Muir, Adrien Grand, Uwe Schindler)
9. LUCENE-8291: Remove QueryTemplateManager utility class from XML queryparser. This class is just a general XML transforming tool (using property files and XSLT) and has nothing to do with query parsing. It can easily be implemented using more sophisticated libraries or using XSL transformers from the JDK. This change also removes the Lucene demo webapp to prevent XSS issues in untested/unmaintained code.
  (Uwe Schindler)
Build (2)
1. LUCENE-7935: Publish .sha512 hash files with the release artifacts and stop publishing .md5 hashes since the algorithm is broken
  (janhoy)
2. LUCENE-8230: Upgrade forbiddenapis to version 2.5.
  (Uwe Schindler)
Documentation (1)
1. LUCENE-8238: Improve WordDelimiterFilter and WordDelimiterGraphFilter javadocs
  (Mike Sokolov via Mike McCandless)

Release 7.3.1 [2018-05-15]

Bug fixes (1)
1. LUCENE-8254: LRUQueryCache could cause IndexReader to hang on close, when shared with another reader with no CacheHelper
  (Alan Woodward, Simon Willnauer, Adrien Grand)

Release 7.3.0 [2018-04-04]

API Changes (4)
1. LUCENE-8051: LevensteinDistance renamed to LevenshteinDistance.
  (Pulak Ghosh via Adrien Grand)
2. LUCENE-8099: Deprecate CustomScoreQuery, BoostedQuery and BoostingQuery. Users should instead use FunctionScoreQuery, possibly combined with a lucene expression
  (Alan Woodward)
3. LUCENE-8104: Remove facets module compile-time dependency on queries
  (Alan Woodward)
4. LUCENE-8145: UnifiedHighlighter now uses a unitary OffsetsEnum rather than a list of enums
  (Alan Woodward, David Smiley, Jim Ferenczi, Timothy Rodriguez)
New Features (2)
1. LUCENE-2899: Add new module analysis/opennlp, with analysis components to perform tokenization, part-of-speech tagging, lemmatization and phrase chunking by invoking the corresponding OpenNLP tools. Named entity recognition is also provided as a Solr update request processor.
  (Lance Norskog, Grant Ingersoll, Joern Kottmann, Em, Kai Gülzau, Rene Nederhand, Robert Muir, Steven Bower, Steve Rowe)
2. LUCENE-8126: Add new spatial prefix tree (SPT) based on google S2 geometry. It can only be used currently with Geo3D spatial context and it provides improvements on indexing time for non-points shapes and on query performance.
  (Ignacio Vera, David Smiley).
Improvements (11)
1. LUCENE-8081: Allow IndexWriter to opt out of flushing on indexing threads Index/Update Threads try to help out flushing pending document buffers to disk. This change adds an expert setting to opt ouf of this behavior unless flusing is falling behind.
  (Simon Willnauer)
2. LUCENE-8086: spatial-extras Geo3dFactory: Use GeoExactCircle with configurable precision for non-spherical planet models.
  (Ignacio Vera via David Smiley)
3. LUCENE-8093: TrimFilterFactory implements MultiTermAwareComponent
  (Alan Woodward)
4. LUCENE-8094: TermInSetQuery.toString now returns "field:(A B C)"
  (Mike McCandless)
5. LUCENE-8121: UnifiedHighlighter passage relevancy is improved for terms that are position sensitive (e.g. part of a phrase) by having an accurate freq.
  (David Smiley)
6. LUCENE-8129: A Unicode set filter can now be specified when using ICUFoldingFilter.

7. LUCENE-7966: Build Multi-Release JARs to enable usage of optimized intrinsic methods from Java 9 for index bounds checking and array comparison/mismatch. This change introduces Java 8 replacements for those Java 9 methods and patches the compiled classes to use the optimized variants through the MR-JAR mechanism.
  (Uwe Schindler, Robert Muir, Adrien Grand, Mike McCandless)
8. LUCENE-8127: Speed up rewriteNoScoring when there are no MUST clauses.
  (Michael Braun via Adrien Grand)

  (Xiaoshan Sun via Adrien Grand)
2. SOLR-11758: Fixed FloatDocValues.boolVal to correctly return true for all values != 0.0F
  (Munendra S N via hossman)
3. LUCENE-8121: The UnifiedHighlighter would highlight some terms within some nested SpanNearQueries at positions where it should not have. It's fixed in the UH by switching to the SpanCollector API. The original Highlighter still has this problem (LUCENE-2287, LUCENE-5455, LUCENE-6796). Some public but internal parts of the UH were refactored.
  (David Smiley, Steve Davids)
4. LUCENE-8120: Fix LatLonBoundingBox's toString() method

3. LUCENE-8075: Removed unnecessary null check in IntersectTermsEnum.
  (Pulak Ghosh via Adrien Grand)
4. LUCENE-8156: Require users to not have ASM on the Ant classpath during build. This is required by LUCENE-7966.
  (Adrien Grand, Uwe Schindler)
5. LUCENE-8161: spatial-extras: the Spatial4j dependency has been updated from 0.6 to 0.7, which is drop-in compatible (Lucene doesn't expressly use any of the few API differences). Spatial4j 0.7 is compatible with JTS 1.15.0 and not any prior version. JTS 1.15.0 is dual-licensed to include BSD; prior versions were LGPL.
  (David Smiley)
6. LUCENE-8155: Add back support in smoke tester to run against later Java versions.

1. LUCENE-8117: Fix advanceExact on SortedNumericDocValues produced by Lucene54DocValues.
  (Jim Ferenczi).

Release 7.2.0 [2017-12-21]

API Changes (8)
1. LUCENE-8017, LUCENE-8042: Weight, DoubleValuesSource and related objects now implement a SegmentCacheable interface, with a single method isCacheable(LeafReaderContext) determining whether or not the object may be cached against a LeafReader.
  (Alan Woodward, Robert Muir)
2. LUCENE-8038: Payload factors for scoring in PayloadScoreQuery are now calculated by a PayloadDecoder, instead of delegating to the Similarity.
  (Alan Woodward)
3. LUCENE-8014: Similarity.computeSlopFactor() and Similarity.computePayloadFactor() have been deprecated.
  (Alan Woodward)
4. LUCENE-6278: Scorer.freq() has been removed

6. LUCENE-7998: DoubleValuesSource.fromQuery() allows you to use the scores from a Query as a DoubleValuesSource.
  (Alan Woodward)
7. LUCENE-8049: IndexWriter.getMergingSegments()'s return type was changed from Collection to Set to more accurately reflect it's nature.
  (David Smiley)
8. LUCENE-8059: TopFieldDocCollector can now early terminate collection when the sort order is compatible with the index order. As a consequence, EarlyTerminatingSortingCollector is now deprecated.
  (Adrien Grand)
New Features (3)
1. LUCENE-8061: Add convenience factory methods to create BBoxes and XYZSolids directly from bounds objects.
2. LUCENE-7736: IndexReaderFunctions expose various IndexReader statistics as DoubleValuesSources.
  (Alan Woodward)
3. LUCENE-8068: Allow IndexWriter to write a single DWPT to disk Adds a flushNextBuffer method to IndexWriter that allows the caller to synchronously move the next pending or the biggest non-pending index buffer to disk. This enables flushing selected buffer to disk without highjacking an indexing thread. This is for instance useful if more than one IW (shards) must be maintained in a single JVM / system.
  (Simon Willnauer)
Bug Fixes (11)
1. LUCENE-8076: Normalize Vincenti distance calculation for planet models that aren't normalized.
  (Ignacio Vera)
2. LUCENE-8057: Exact circle bounds computation was incorrect.
  (Ignacio Vera)
3. LUCENE-8056: Exact circle segment bounding suffered from precision errors.
  (Karl Wright)
4. LUCENE-8054: Fix the exact circle case where relationships fail when the planet model has c <= ab, because the planes are constructed incorrectly.
  (Ignacio Vera)
5. LUCENE-7991: KNearestNeighborDocumentClassifier.knnSearch no longer applies a previous boosted field's factor to subsequent unboosted fields.
  (Christine Poerschke)
6. LUCENE-7999: Switch from int to long to track the name for the next segment to write, so that very long lived indices with very frequent refreshes or commits, and high indexing thread counts, do not overflow an int
  (Mykhailo Demianenko via Mike McCandless)
7. LUCENE-8025: Use sumTotalTermFreq=sumDocFreq when scoring DOCS_ONLY fields that omit term frequency information, as it is equivalent in that case. Previously bogus numbers were used, and many similarities would completely degrade.
  (Robert Muir, Adrien Grand)
8. LUCENE-8045: ParallelLeafReader did not correctly report FieldInfo.dvGen
  (Alan Woodward)
9. LUCENE-8034: Use subtraction instead of addition to sidestep int overflow in SpanNotQuery.
  (Hari Menon via Mike McCandless)
10. LUCENE-8078: The query cache should not cache instances of MatchNoDocsQuery.
  (Jon Harper via Adrien Grand)
11. LUCENE-8048: Filesystems do not guarantee order of directories updates
  (Nikolay Martynov, Simon Willnauer, Erick Erickson)
Optimizations (6)
1. LUCENE-8018: Smaller FieldInfos memory footprint by not retaining unnecessary references to TreeMap entries.
  (Julian Vassev via Adrien Grand)
2. LUCENE-7994: Use int/int scatter map to gather facet counts when the number of hits is small relative to the number of unique facet labels
  (Dawid Weiss, Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
3. LUCENE-8062: GlobalOrdinalsQuery is no longer eligible for caching.
  (Jim Ferenczi)
4. LUCENE-8058: Large instances of TermInSetQuery are no longer eligible for caching as they could break memory accounting of the query cache.
  (Adrien Grand)
5. LUCENE-8055: MemoryIndex.MemoryDocValuesIterator returns 2 documents instead of 1.
  (Simon Willnauer)
6. LUCENE-8043: Fix document accounting in IndexWriter to prevent writing too many documents. Once this happens, Lucene refuses to open the index and throws a CorruptIndexException.
  (Simon Willnauer, Yonik Seeley, Mike McCandless)

  (Mikhail Khludnev)
Bug Fixes (9)
1. LUCENE-8066: It was still possible to construct a concave GeoExactCircle, so use a sector approach to prevent that.
  (Ignacio Vera)
2. LUCENE-7967: The GeoDegeneratePoint isWithin() method needed allowance for numerical precision.
  (Karl Wright)

7. LUCENE-7968: AnalyzingSuggester would sometimes order suggestions incorrectly, it did not properly break ties on the surface forms when both the weights and the analyzed forms were equal.
  (Robert Muir)
8. LUCENE-7957: ConjunctionScorer.getChildren was failing to return all child scorers
  (Adrien Grand, Mike McCandless)

New Features (8)
1. LUCENE-7703: SegmentInfos now record the major Lucene version at index creation time.
  (Adrien Grand)
2. LUCENE-7756: LeafReader.getMetaData now exposes the index created version as well as the oldest Lucene version that contributed to the segment.
  (Adrien Grand)
3. LUCENE-7854: The new TermFrequencyAttribute used during analysis with a custom token stream allows indexing custom term frequencies
  (Mike McCandless)
4. LUCENE-7866: Add a new DelimitedTermFrequencyTokenFilter that allows to mark tokens with a custom term frequency (LUCENE-7854). It parses a numeric value after a separator char ('|') at the end of each token and changes the term frequency to this value.
  (Uwe Schindler, Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
5. LUCENE-7868: Multiple threads can now resolve deletes and doc values updates concurrently, giving sizable speedups in update-heavy indexing use cases

  (Dawid Weiss)
6. LUCENE-7956: Fixed potential stack overflow error in ICUNormalizer2CharFilter.
  (Adrien Grand)
7. LUCENE-7963: Remove useless getAttribute() in DefaultIndexingChain that causes performance drop, introduced by LUCENE-7626.

  (Andriy Rysin via Dawid Weiss)
Optimizations (7)
1. LUCENE-7416: BooleanQuery optimizes queries that have queries that occur both in the sets of SHOULD and FILTER clauses, or both in MUST/FILTER and MUST_NOT clauses.
  (Spyros Kapnissis via Adrien Grand, Uwe Schindler)
2. LUCENE-7506: FastTaxonomyFacetCounts should use CPU in proportion to the size of the intersected set of hits from the query and documents that have a facet value, so sparse faceting works as expected
  (Adrien Grand via Mike McCandless)
3. LUCENE-7519: Add optimized APIs to compute browse-only top level facets
  (Mike McCandless)
4. LUCENE-7589: Numeric doc values now have the ability to encode blocks of values using different numbers of bits per value if this proves to save storage.
  (Adrien Grand)
5. LUCENE-7845: Enhance spatial-extras RecursivePrefixTreeStrategy queries when the query is a point (for 2D) or a is a simple date interval (e.g. 1 month). When the strategy is marked as pointsOnly, the results is a TermQuery.
  (David Smiley)
6. LUCENE-7874: DisjunctionMaxQuery rewrites to a BooleanQuery when tiebreaker is set to 1.
  (Jim Ferenczi)
7. LUCENE-7828: Speed up range queries on range fields by improving how we compute the relation between the query and inner nodes of the BKD tree.
  (Adrien Grand)

  (Christine Poerschke, Steve Rowe)
8. LUCENE-7719: Generalized the UnifiedHighlighter's support for AutomatonQuery for character & binary automata. Added AutomatonQuery.isBinary.
  (David Smiley)
9. LUCENE-7873: Due to serious problems with context class loaders in several frameworks (OSGI, Java 9 Jigsaw), the lookup of Codecs, PostingsFormats, DocValuesFormats and all analysis factories was changed to only inspect the current classloader that defined the interface class (lucene-core.jar). See MIGRATE.txt for more information!
  (Uwe Schindler, Dawid Weiss)
10. LUCENE-7883: Lucene no longer uses the context class loader when resolving resources in CustomAnalyzer or ClassPathResourceLoader. Resources are only resolved against Lucene's class loader by default. Please use another builder method to change to a custom classloader.
  (Uwe Schindler)
11. LUCENE-5822: Convert README to Markdown
  (Jason Gerlowski via Mike Drob)
12. LUCENE-7773: Remove unused/deprecated token types from StandardTokenizer.
  (Ahmet Arslan via Steve Rowe)
13. LUCENE-7800: Remove code that potentially rethrows checked exceptions from methods that don't declare them ("sneaky throw" hack).
  (Robert Muir, Uwe Schindler, Dawid Weiss)
14. LUCENE-7876: Avoid calls to LeafReader.fields() and MultiFields.getFields() that are trivially replaced by LeafReader.terms() and MultiFields.getTerms()

Release 6.6.1 [2017-09-07]

Bug Fixes (2)
1. LUCENE-7869: Changed MemoryIndex to sort 1d points. In case of 1d points, the PointInSetQuery.MergePointVisitor expects that these points are visited in ascending order. The memory index doesn't do this and this can result in document with multiple points that should match to not match.
  (Martijn van Groningen)
2. LUCENE-7878: Fix query builder to keep the SHOULD clause that wraps multi-word synonyms.

  (David Smiley)
Other (5)
1. LUCENE-7796: Make IOUtils.reThrow idiom declare Error return type so callers may use it in a way that compiler knows subsequent code is unreachable. reThrow is now deprecated in favor of IOUtils.rethrowAlways with a slightly different semantics (see javadoc).
  (Hossman, Robert Muir, Dawid Weiss)
2. LUCENE-7754: Inner classes should be static whenever possible.
  (Daniel Jelinski via Adrien Grand)

  (Adrien Grand)
2. LUCENE-7749: Made LRUQueryCache delegate the scoreSupplier method.
  (Martin Amirault via Adrien Grand)
3. LUCENE-7769: The UnifiedHighligter wasn't highlighting portions of the query wrapped in BoostQuery or SpanBoostQuery.

  (马可阳 via Christine Poerschke)

Release 6.5.0 [2017-03-27]

API Changes (12)
1. LUCENE-7740: Refactor Range Fields to remove Field suffix (e.g., DoubleRange), move InetAddressRange and InetAddressPoint from sandbox to misc module, and refactor all other range fields from sandbox to core.
  (Nick Knize)
2. LUCENE-7624: TermsQuery has been renamed as TermInSetQuery and moved to core.
  (Alan Woodward)

6. LUCENE-7659: Added a IndexWriter#getFieldNames() method (experimental) to return all field names as visible from the IndexWriter. This would be useful for IndexWriter#updateDocValues() calls, to prevent calling with non-existent docValues fields
  (Ishan Chattopadhyaya, Adrien Grand, Mike McCandless)
7. LUCENE-6959: Removed ToParentBlockJoinCollector in favour of ParentChildrenBlockJoinQuery, that can return the matching children documents per parent document. This query should be executed for each matching parent document after the main query has been executed.
  (Adrien Grand, Martijn van Groningen, Mike McCandless)
8. LUCENE-7628: Scorer.getChildren() now only returns Scorers that are positioned on the current document, and can throw an IOException. AssertingScorer checks that getChildren() is not called on an unpositioned Scorer.
  (Alan Woodward, Adrien Grand)
9. LUCENE-7702: Removed GraphQuery in favour of simple boolean query.
  (Matt Webber via Jim Ferenczi)
10. LUCENE-7707: TopDocs.merge now takes a boolean option telling it when to use the incoming shard index versus when to assign the shard index itself, allowing users to merge shard responses incrementally instead of once all shard responses are present.
  (Simon Willnauer, Mike McCandless)
11. LUCENE-7700: A cleanup of merge throughput control logic. Refactored all the code previously scattered throughout the IndexWriter and ConcurrentMergeScheduler into a more accessible set of public methods (see MergePolicy.OneMergeProgress, MergeScheduler.wrapForMerge and OneMerge.mergeInit).
  (Dawid Weiss, Mike McCandless).
12. LUCENE-7734: FieldType's copy constructor was widened to accept any IndexableFieldType.
  (David Smiley)

3. LUCENE-7623: Add FunctionScoreQuery and FunctionMatchQuery
  (Alan Woodward, Adrien Grand, David Smiley)
4. LUCENE-7619: Add WordDelimiterGraphFilter, just like WordDelimiterFilter except it produces correct token graphs so that proximity queries at search time will produce correct results
  (Mike McCandless)
5. LUCENE-7656: Added the LatLonDocValuesField.new(Box/Distance)Query() factory methods that are the equivalent of factory methods on LatLonPoint but operate on doc values. These new methods should be wrapped in an IndexOrDocValuesQuery for best performance.
  (Adrien Grand)
6. LUCENE-7673: Added MultiValued[Int/Long/Float/Double]FieldSource that given a SortedNumericSelector.Type can give a ValueSource view of a SortedNumericDocValues field.
  (Tomás Fernández Löbbe)
7. LUCENE-7465: Add SimplePatternTokenizer and SimplePatternSplitTokenizer, using Lucene's regexp/automaton implementation for analysis/tokenization
  (Clinton Gormley, Mike McCandless)

  (Ere Maijala via Mike McCandless)
6. LUCENE-7708: ShingleFilter without unigram was producing a disconnected token graph, messing up queries when it was used during query parsing
  (Jim Ferenczi)
Improvements (8)
1. LUCENE-7055: Added Weight#scorerSupplier, which allows to estimate the cost of a Scorer before actually building it, in order to optimize how the query should be run, eg. using points or doc values depending on costs of other parts of the query.
  (Adrien Grand)
2. LUCENE-7643: IndexOrDocValuesQuery allows to execute range queries using either points or doc values depending on which one is more efficient.
  (Adrien Grand)
3. LUCENE-7662: If index files are missing, throw CorruptIndexException instead of the less descriptive FileNotFound or NoSuchFileException
  (Mike Drob via Mike McCandless, Erick Erickson)
4. LUCENE-7680: UsageTrackingQueryCachingPolicy never caches term filters anymore since they are plenty fast. This also has the side-effect of leaving more space in the history for costly filters.
  (Adrien Grand)
5. LUCENE-7677: UsageTrackingQueryCachingPolicy now caches compound queries a bit earlier than regular queries in order to improve cache efficiency.
  (Adrien Grand)
6. LUCENE-7710: BlockPackedReader throws CorruptIndexException and includes IndexInput description instead of plain IOException
  (Mike Drob via Mike McCandless)
7. LUCENE-7695: ComplexPhraseQueryParser to support query time synonyms
  (Markus Jelsma via Mikhail Khludnev)
8. LUCENE-7747: QueryBuilder now iterates lazily over the possible paths when building a graph query
  (Jim Ferenczi)
Optimizations (10)
1. LUCENE-7641: Optimized point range queries to compute documents that do not match the range on single-valued fields when more than half the documents in the index would match.
  (Adrien Grand)
2. LUCENE-7656: Speed up for LatLonPointDistanceQuery by computing distances even less often.
  (Adrien Grand)
3. LUCENE-7661: Speed up for LatLonPointInPolygonQuery by pre-computing the relation of the polygon with a grid.
  (Adrien Grand)

Release 6.4.1 [2017-02-06]

Build (1)
1. LUCENE-7651: Fix Javadocs build for Java 8u121 by injecting "Google Code Prettify" without adding Javascript to Javadocs's -bottom parameter. Also update Prettify to latest version to fix Google Chrome issue.
  (Uwe Schindler)
Bug Fixes (3)
1. LUCENE-7657: Fixed potential memory leak in the case that a (Span)TermQuery with a TermContext is cached.
  (Adrien Grand)
2. LUCENE-7647: Made stored fields reclaim native memory more aggressively when configured with BEST_COMPRESSION. This could otherwise result in out-of-memory issues.
  (Adrien Grand)
3. LUCENE-7670: AnalyzingInfixSuggester should not immediately open an IndexWriter over an already-built index.
  (Steve Rowe)

Release 6.4.0 [2017-01-23]

  (Emmanuel Keller via Mike McCandless)
5. LUCENE-6664: A new SynonymGraphFilter outputs a correct graph structure for multi-token synonyms, separating out a FlattenGraphFilter that is hardwired into the current SynonymFilter. This finally makes it possible to implement correct multi-token synonyms at search time. See http://blog.mikemccandless.com/2012/04/lucenes-tokenstreams-are-actually.html for details.
  (Mike McCandless)
6. LUCENE-5325: Added LongValuesSource and DoubleValuesSource, intended as type-safe replacements for ValueSource in the queries module. These expose per-segment LongValues or DoubleValues iterators.

  (Markus via Mike McCandless)
2. LUCENE-7562: CompletionFieldsConsumer sometimes throws NullPointerException on ghost fields
  (Oliver Eilhard via Mike McCandless)
3. LUCENE-7533: Classic query parser: disallow autoGeneratePhraseQueries=true when splitOnWhitespace=false (and vice-versa).
  (Steve Rowe)
4. LUCENE-7536: ASCIIFoldingFilterFactory used to return an illegal multi-term component when preserveOriginal was set to true.
  (Adrien Grand)
5. LUCENE-7576: Fix Terms.intersect in the default codec to detect when the incoming automaton is a special case and throw a clearer exception than NullPointerException
  (Tom Mortimer via Mike McCandless)
6. LUCENE-6989: Fix Exception handling in MMapDirectory's unmap hack support code to work with Java 9's new InaccessibleObjectException that does not extend ReflectiveAccessException in Java 9.
  (Uwe Schindler)
7. LUCENE-7581: Lucene now prevents updating a doc values field that is used in the index sort, since this would lead to corruption.
  (Jim Ferenczi via Mike McCandless)
8. LUCENE-7570: IndexWriter may deadlock if a commit is running while there are too many merges running and one of the merges hits a tragic exception
  (Joey Echeverria via Mike McCandless)
9. LUCENE-7594: Fixed point range queries on floating-point types to recommend using helpers for exclusive bounds that are consistent with Double.compare.

  (Marc Morissette via David Smiley)
4. LUCENE-7544: UnifiedHighlighter: add extension points for handling custom queries.
  (Michael Braun, David Smiley)
5. LUCENE-7538: Asking IndexWriter to store a too-massive text field now throws IllegalArgumentException instead of a cryptic exception that closes your IndexWriter
  (Steve Chen via Mike McCandless)
6. LUCENE-7524: Added more detailed explanation of how IDF is computed in ClassicSimilarity and BM25Similarity.
  (Adrien Grand)
7. LUCENE-7564: AnalyzingInfixSuggester should close its IndexWriter by default at the end of build().
  (Steve Rowe)
8. LUCENE-7526: Enhanced UnifiedHighlighter's passage relevancy for queries with wildcards and sometimes just terms. Added shouldPreferPassageRelevancyOverSpeed() which can be overridden to return false to eek out more speed in some cases.

  (Jim Ferenczi via Mike McCandless)
11. LUCENE-7575: UnifiedHighlighter can now highlight fields with queries that don't necessarily refer to that field (AKA requireFieldMatch==false). Disabled by default. See UH get/setFieldMatcher.
  (Jim Ferenczi via David Smiley)
12. LUCENE-7592: If the segments file is truncated, we now throw CorruptIndexException instead of the more confusing EOFException
  (Mike Drob via Mike McCandless)
13. LUCENE-6989: Make MMapDirectory's unmap hack work with Java 9 EA (b150+): Unmapping uses new sun.misc.Unsafe#invokeCleaner(ByteBuffer). Java 9 now needs same permissions like Java 8; RuntimePermission("accessClassInPackage.jdk.internal.ref") is no longer needed. Support for older Java 9 builds was removed.
  (Uwe Schindler)
14. LUCENE-7401: Changed the way BKD trees pick the split dimension in order to ensure all dimensions are indexed.
  (Adrien Grand)
15. LUCENE-7614: Complex Phrase Query parser ignores double quotes around single token prefix, wildcard, range queries
  (Mikhail Khludnev)

Build (3)
1. LUCENE-7387: fix defaultCodec in build.xml to account for the line ending
  (hossman)
2. LUCENE-7543: Make changes-to-html target an offline operation, by moving the Lucene and Solr DOAP RDF files into the Git source repository under dev-tools/doap/ and then pulling release dates from those files, rather than from JIRA.
  (Mano Kovacs, hossman, Steve Rowe)
3. LUCENE-7596: Update Groovy to version 2.4.8 to allow building with Java 9 build 148+. Also update JGit version for working-copy checks.

  (Mike McCandless)
6. LUCENE-7287: UkrainianMorfologikAnalyzer is a new dictionary-based analyzer for the Ukrainian language
  (Andriy Rysin via Mike McCandless)

  (Robert Muir, Uwe Schindler, Mike McCandless)
8. LUCENE-7355: Added Analyzer#normalize(), which only applies normalization to an input string.
  (Adrien Grand)
9. LUCENE-7380: Add Polygon.fromGeoJSON for more easily creating Polygon instances from a standard GeoJSON string
  (Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
10. LUCENE-7395: PerFieldSimilarityWrapper requires a default similarity for calculating query norm and coordination factor in Lucene 6.x. Lucene 7 will no longer have those factors.

  (Adrien Grand, Mike McCandless)
3. LUCENE-5931: Detect when an application tries to reopen an IndexReader after (illegally) removing the old index and reindexing
  (Vitaly Funstein, Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)

5. LUCENE-7318: StandardAnalyzer has been moved from the analysis module into core and is now the default analyzer in IndexWriterConfig
  (Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
6. LUCENE-7345: RAMDirectory now enforces write-once files as well
  (Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)

  (AM, Robert Muir)
16. LUCENE-7409: Changed MMapDirectory's unmapping to work safer, but still with no guarantees. This uses a store-store barrier and yields the current thread before unmapping to allow in-flight requests to finish. The new code no longer uses WeakIdentityMap as it delegates all ByteBuffer reads throgh a new ByteBufferGuard wrapper that is shared between all ByteBufferIndexInput clones.
  (Robert Muir, Uwe Schindler)

  (Adrien Grand)
10. LUCENE-7238: Explicitly disable the query cache in MemoryIndex#createSearcher.
  (Adrien Grand)
11. LUCENE-7237: LRUQueryCache now prefers returning an uncached Scorer than waiting on a lock.
  (Adrien Grand)

  (David Smiley)
4. LUCENE-6711: Use CollectionStatistics.docCount() for IDF and average field length computations, to avoid skew from documents that don't have the field.
  (Ahmet Arslan via Robert Muir)
5. LUCENE-6758: Use docCount+1 for DefaultSimilarity's IDF, so that queries containing nonexistent fields won't screw up querynorm.
  (Terry Smith, Robert Muir)
6. SOLR-7876: The QueryTimeout interface now has a isTimeoutEnabled method that can return false to exit from ExitableDirectoryReader wrapping at the point fields() is called.
  (yonik)

  (Nick Knize, David Smiley)
2. LUCENE-6067: Accountable.getChildResources has a default implementation returning the empty list.
  (Robert Muir)
3. LUCENE-6583: FilteredQuery has been removed. Instead, you can construct a BooleanQuery with one MUST clause for the query, and one FILTER clause for the filter.
  (Adrien Grand)

  (Alan Woodward)
6. LUCENE-6829: OfflineSorter, and the classes that use it (suggesters, hunspell) now do all temporary file IO via Directory instead of directly through java's temp dir. Directory.createTempOutput creates a uniquely named IndexOutput, and the new IndexOutput.getName returns its name
  (Dawid Weiss, Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
7. LUCENE-6917: Deprecate and rename NumericXXX classes to LegacyNumericXXX in favor of points
  (Mike McCandless)
8. LUCENE-6947: SortField.missingValue is now protected. You can read its value using the new SortField.getMissingValue getter.
  (Adrien Grand)
9. LUCENE-7028: Remove duplicate method in LegacyNumericUtils.
  (Uwe Schindler)
10. LUCENE-7052, LUCENE-7053: Remove custom comparators from BytesRef class and solely use natural byte[] comparator throughout codebase. This also simplifies API of BytesRefHash. It also replaces the natural comparator in ArrayUtil by Java 8's Comparator#naturalOrder().
  (Mike McCandless, Uwe Schindler, Robert Muir)
11. LUCENE-7060: Update Spatial4j to 0.6. The package com.spatial4j.core is now org.locationtech.spatial4j.
  (David Smiley)
12. LUCENE-7058: Add getters to various Query implementations
  (Guillaume Smet via Alan Woodward)
13. LUCENE-7064: MultiPhraseQuery is now immutable and should be constructed with MultiPhraseQuery.Builder.
  (Luc Vanlerberghe via Adrien Grand)
14. LUCENE-7072: Geo3DPoint always uses WGS84 planet model.
  (Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
15. LUCENE-7056: Geo3D classes are in different packages now.
  (David Smiley)
16. LUCENE-6952: These classes are now abstract: FilterCodecReader, FilterLeafReader, FilterCollector, FilterDirectory. And some Filter* classes in lucene-test-framework too.

  (yonik)
Optimizations (5)
1. LUCENE-6891: Use prefix coding when writing points in each leaf block in the default codec, to reduce the index size
  (Mike McCandless)
2. LUCENE-6901: Optimize points indexing: use faster IntroSorter instead of InPlaceMergeSorter, and specialize 1D merging to merge sort the already sorted segments instead of re-indexing
  (Mike McCandless)
3. LUCENE-6793: LegacyNumericRangeQuery.hashCode() is now less subject to hash collisions.
  (J.B. Langston via Adrien Grand)
4. LUCENE-7050: TermsQuery is now cached more aggressively by the default query caching policy.
  (Adrien Grand)
5. LUCENE-7066: PointRangeQuery got optimized for the case that all documents have a value and all points from the segment match.
  (Adrien Grand)
Changes in Runtime Behavior (3)
1. LUCENE-6789: IndexSearcher's default Similarity is changed to BM25Similarity. Use ClassicSimilarity to get the old vector space DefaultSimilarity.
  (Robert Muir)
2. LUCENE-6886: Reserve the .tmp file name extension for temp files, and codec components are no longer allowed to use this extension
  (Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
3. LUCENE-6835: Directory.listAll now returns entries in sorted order, to not leak platform-specific behavior, and "retrying file deletion" is now the responsibility of Directory.deleteFile, not the caller.
  (Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
Tests (1)
1. LUCENE-7009: Add expectThrows utility to LuceneTestCase. This uses a lambda expression to encapsulate a statement that is expected to throw an exception.
  (Ryan Ernst)
Bug Fixes (7)
1. LUCENE-7065: Fix the explain for the global ordinals join query. Before the explain would also indicate that non matching documents would match. On top of that with score mode average, the explain would fail with a NPE.
  (Martijn van Groningen)
2. LUCENE-7101: OfflineSorter had O(N^2) merge cost, and used too many temporary file descriptors, for large sorts
  (Mike McCandless)
3. LUCENE-7111: DocValuesRangeQuery.newLongRange behaves incorrectly for Long.MAX_VALUE and Long.MIN_VALUE
  (Ishan Chattopadhyaya via Steve Rowe)
4. LUCENE-7139: Fix bugs in geo3d's Vincenty surface distance implementation
  (Karl Wright via Mike McCandless)
5. LUCENE-7112: WeightedSpanTermExtractor.extractUnknownQuery is only called on queries that could not be extracted.
  (Adrien Grand)
6. LUCENE-7126: Remove GeoPointDistanceRangeQuery. This query was implemented with boolean NOT, and incorrect for multi-valued documents.
  (Robert Muir)
7. LUCENE-7158: Consistently use earth's WGS84 mean radius wherever our geo search implementations approximate the earth as a sphere
  (Karl Wright via Mike McCandless)
Other (5)
1. LUCENE-7035: Upgrade icu4j to 56.1/unicode 8.
  (Robert Muir)
2. LUCENE-7087: Let MemoryIndex#fromDocument(...) accept 'Iterable<? extends IndexableField>' as document instead of 'Document'.

  (Mike McCandless, Robert Muir)
2. SOLR-11477: Disallow resolving of external entities in queryparser/xml/CoreParser by default.
  (Michael Stepankin, Olga Barinova, Uwe Schindler, Christine Poerschke)

Release 5.5.4 [2017-02-15]

Bug Fixes (8)
1. LUCENE-7417: The standard Highlighter could throw an IllegalArgumentException when trying to highlight a query containing a degenerate case of a MultiPhraseQuery with one term.
  (Thomas Kappler via David Smiley)
2. LUCENE-7657: Fixed potential memory leak in the case that a (Span)TermQuery with a TermContext is cached.
  (Adrien Grand)
3. LUCENE-7647: Made stored fields reclaim native memory more aggressively when configured with BEST_COMPRESSION. This could otherwise result in out-of-memory issues.
  (Adrien Grand)
4. LUCENE-7562: CompletionFieldsConsumer sometimes throws NullPointerException on ghost fields
  (Oliver Eilhard via Mike McCandless)
5. LUCENE-7547: JapaneseTokenizerFactory was failing to close the dictionary file it opened
  (Markus via Mike McCandless)
6. LUCENE-6914: Fixed DecimalDigitFilter in case of supplementary code points.
  (Hossman)
7. LUCENE-7440: Document id skipping (PostingsEnum.advance) could throw an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException exception on large index segments (>1.8B docs) with large skips.
  (yonik)
8. LUCENE-7570: IndexWriter may deadlock if a commit is running while there are too many merges running and one of the merges hits a tragic exception
  (Joey Echeverria via Mike McCandless)
Other (1)
1. LUCENE-6989: Backport MMapDirectory's unmapping code from Lucene 6.4 to use MethodHandles. This allows it to work with Java 9 (EA build 150 and later).
  (Uwe Schindler)
Build (3)
1. LUCENE-7543: Make changes-to-html target an offline operation, by moving the Lucene and Solr DOAP RDF files into the Git source repository under dev-tools/doap/ and then pulling release dates from those files, rather than from JIRA.
  (Mano Kovacs, hossman, Steve Rowe)
2. LUCENE-7596: Update Groovy to version 2.4.8 to allow building with Java 9 build 148+. Also update JGit version for working-copy checks. This does not fix all issues with Java 9, but allows to build the distribution.
  (Uwe Schindler)
3. LUCENE-7651: Backport (Lucene 6.4.1) fix for Java 8u121 to allow documentation build to inject "Google Code Prettify" without adding Javascript to Javadocs's
  - bottom parameter. Unfortunately, this fix disables Prettify if Javadocs are
  built with Java 7, as there is no generic way in Java 7 to inject Javascript without breaking Java 8 (and possible paid Java 7 security updates). This fix also updates Prettify to latest version to work around a Google Chrome issue.
  (Uwe Schindler)

  (Kaneshanathan Srivisagan, Christine Poerschke)
7. LUCENE-7284: GapSpans needs to implement positionsCost().
  (Daniel Bigham, Alan Woodward)
8. LUCENE-7231: WeightedSpanTermExtractor didn't deal correctly with single-term phrase queries.
  (Eva Popenda, Alan Woodward)
9. LUCENE-7301: Multiple doc values updates to the same document within one update batch could be applied in the wrong order resulting in the wrong updated value
  (Ishan Chattopadhyaya, hossman, Mike McCandless)
10. LUCENE-7132: BooleanQuery sometimes assigned too-low scores in cases where ranges of documents had only a single clause matching while other ranges had more than one clause matching
  (Ahmet Arslan, hossman, Mike McCandless)
11. LUCENE-7291: Spatial heatmap faceting could mis-count when the heatmap crosses the dateline and indexed non-point shapes are much bigger than the heatmap region.
  (David Smiley)

Release 5.5.1 [2016-05-05]

Bug fixes (3)
1. LUCENE-7112: WeightedSpanTermExtractor.extractUnknownQuery is only called on queries that could not be extracted.

4. LUCENE-6912: Grouping's Collectors now calculate a response to needsScores() instead of always 'true'.
  (David Smiley)
5. LUCENE-6815: DisjunctionScorer now advances two-phased iterators lazily, stopping to evaluate them as soon as a single one matches. The other iterators will be confirmed lazily when computing score() or freq().

11. LUCENE-6813: OfflineSorter no longer removes its output Path up front, and instead opens it for write with the StandardCopyOption.REPLACE_EXISTING to overwrite any prior file, so that callers can safely use Files.createTempFile for the output. This change also fixes OfflineSorter's default temp directory when running tests to use mock filesystems so e.g. we detect file handle leaks
  (Dawid Weiss, Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
12. LUCENE-6813: RangeTreeWriter was failing to close all file handles it opened, leading to intermittent failures on Windows

4. LUCENE-6477: Add experimental BKD geospatial tree doc values format and queries, for fast "bbox/polygon contains lat/lon points"
  (Mike McCandless)
5. LUCENE-6526: Asserting(Query|Weight|Scorer) now ensure scores are not computed if they are not needed.
  (Adrien Grand)
6. LUCENE-6481: Add GeoPointField, GeoPointInBBoxQuery, GeoPointInPolygonQuery for simple "indexed lat/lon point in bbox/shape" searching.
  (Nick Knize via Mike McCandless)
7. LUCENE-5954: The segments_N commit point now stores the Lucene version that wrote the commit as well as the lucene version that wrote the oldest segment in the index, for faster checking of "too old" indices
  (Ryan Ernst, Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
8. LUCENE-6519: BKDPointInPolygonQuery is much faster by avoiding the per-hit polygon check when a leaf cell is fully contained by the polygon.
  (Nick Knize, Mike McCandless)
9. LUCENE-6549: Add preload option to MMapDirectory.
  (Robert Muir)
10. LUCENE-6504: Add Lucene53Codec, with norms implemented directly via the Directory's RandomAccessInput api.
  (Robert Muir)
11. LUCENE-6539: Add new DocValuesNumbersQuery, to match any document containing one of the specified long values. This change also moves the existing DocValuesTermsQuery and DocValuesRangeQuery to Lucene's sandbox module, since in general these queries are quite slow and are only fast in specific cases.
  (Adrien Grand, Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
12. LUCENE-6577: Give earlier and better error message for invalid CRC.
  (Robert Muir)
13. LUCENE-6544: Geo3D: (1) Regularize path & polygon construction, (2) add PlanetModel.surfaceDistance() (ellipsoidal calculation), (3) cache lat & lon in GeoPoint, (4) add thread-safety where missing -- Geo3dShape.
  (Karl Wright, David Smiley)
14. LUCENE-6606: SegmentInfo.toString now confesses how the documents were sorted, when SortingMergePolicy was used
  (Christine Poerschke via Mike McCandless)
15. LUCENE-6524: IndexWriter can now be initialized from an already open near-real-time or non-NRT reader.
  (Boaz Leskes, Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
16. LUCENE-6578: Geo3D can now compute the distance from a point to a shape, both inner distance and to an outside edge. Multiple distance algorithms are available.
  (Karl Wright, David Smiley)
17. LUCENE-6632: Geo3D: Compute circle planes more accurately.
  (Karl Wright via David Smiley)
18. LUCENE-6653: Added general purpose BytesTermAttribute to basic token attributes package that can be used for TokenStreams that solely produce binary terms.
  (Uwe Schindler)
19. LUCENE-6365: Add Operations.topoSort, to run topological sort of the states in an Automaton
  (Markus Heiden via Mike McCandless)
20. LUCENE-6365: Replace Operations.getFiniteStrings with a more scalable iterator API (FiniteStringsIterator)
  (Markus Heiden via Mike McCandless)
21. LUCENE-6589: Add a new org.apache.lucene.search.join.CheckJoinIndex class that can be used to validate that an index has an appropriate structure to run join queries.
  (Adrien Grand)
22. LUCENE-6659: Remove IndexWriter's unnecessary hard limit on max concurrency
  (Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
23. LUCENE-6547: Add GeoPointDistanceQuery, matching all points within the specified distance from the center point. Fix GeoPointInBBoxQuery to handle dateline crossing.
24. LUCENE-6694: Add LithuanianAnalyzer and LithuanianStemmer.
  (Dainius Jocas via Robert Muir)
25. LUCENE-6695: Added a new BlendedTermQuery to blend statistics across several terms.
  (Simon Willnauer, Adrien Grand)
26. LUCENE-6706: Added a new PayloadScoreQuery that generalises the behaviour of PayloadTermQuery and PayloadNearQuery to all Span queries.
  (Alan Woodward)
27. LUCENE-6697: Add experimental range tree doc values format and queries, based on a 1D version of the spatial BKD tree, for a faster and smaller alternative to postings-based numeric and binary term filtering. Range trees can also handle values larger than 64 bits.
  (Adrien Grand, Mike McCandless)
28. LUCENE-6647: Add GeoHash string utility APIs
  (Nick Knize via Mike McCandless).
29. LUCENE-6710: GeoPointField now uses full 64 bits (up from 62) to encode lat/lon
  (Nick Knize via Mike McCandless).
30. LUCENE-6580: SpanNearQuery now allows defined-width gaps in its subqueries
  (Alan Woodward, Adrien Grand).
31. LUCENE-6712: Use doc values to post-filter GeoPointField hits that fall in boundary cells, resulting in smaller index, faster searches and less heap used for each query
  (Nick Knize via Mike McCandless).
API Changes (20)
1. LUCENE-6508: Simplify Lock api, there is now just Directory.obtainLock() which returns a Lock that can be released (or fails with exception). Add lock verification to IndexWriter. Improve exception messages when locking fails.
  (Uwe Schindler, Mike McCandless, Robert Muir)
2. LUCENE-6371, LUCENE-6490: Payload collection from Spans is moved to a more generic SpanCollector framework. Spans no longer implements .hasPayload() and .getPayload() methods, and instead exposes a collect() method that allows the collection of arbitrary postings information. SpanPayloadCheckQuery and SpanPayloadNearCheckQuery have moved from the .spans package to the .payloads package.
  (Alan Woodward, David Smiley, Paul Elschot, Robert Muir)
3. LUCENE-6529: Removed an optimization in UninvertingReader that was causing incorrect results for Numeric fields using precisionStep
  (hossman, Robert Muir)
4. LUCENE-6551: Add missing ConcurrentMergeScheduler.getAutoIOThrottle getter
  (Simon Willnauer, Mike McCandless)
5. LUCENE-6552: Add MergePolicy.OneMerge.getMergeInfo and rename setInfo to setMergeInfo
  (Simon Willnauer, Mike McCandless)
6. LUCENE-6525: Deprecate IndexWriterConfig's writeLockTimeout.
  (Robert Muir)
7. LUCENE-6583: FilteredQuery is deprecated and will be removed in 6.0. It should be replaced with a BooleanQuery which handle the query as a MUST clause and the filter as a FILTER clause.
  (Adrien Grand)
8. LUCENE-6553: The postings, spans and scorer APIs no longer take an acceptDocs parameter. Live docs are now always checked on top of these APIs.
  (Adrien Grand)
9. LUCENE-6634: PKIndexSplitter now takes a Query instead of a Filter to decide how to split an index.
  (Adrien Grand)
10. LUCENE-6643: GroupingSearch from lucene/grouping was changed to take a Query object to define groups instead of a Filter.
  (Adrien Grand)
11. LUCENE-6554: ToParentBlockJoinFieldComparator was removed because of a bug with missing values that could not be fixed. ToParentBlockJoinSortField now works with string or numeric doc values selectors. Sorting on anything else than a string or numeric field would require to implement a custom selector.
  (Adrien Grand)
12. LUCENE-6648: All lucene/facet APIs now take Query objects where they used to take Filter objects.
  (Adrien Grand)
13. LUCENE-6640: Suggesters now take a BitsProducer object instead of a Filter object to reduce the scope of doc IDs that may be returned, emphasizing the fact that these objects need to support random-access.
  (Adrien Grand)
14. LUCENE-6646: Make EarlyTerminatingCollector take a Sort object directly instead of a SortingMergePolicy.
  (Christine Poerschke via Adrien Grand)
15. LUCENE-6649: BitDocIdSetFilter and BitDocIdSetCachingWrapperFilter are now deprecated in favour of BitSetProducer and QueryBitSetProducer, which do not extend oal.search.Filter.
  (Adrien Grand)
16. LUCENE-6607: Factor out geo3d into its own spatial3d module.
  (Karl Wright, Nick Knize, David Smiley, Mike McCandless)
17. LUCENE-6531: PhraseQuery is now immutable and can be built using the PhraseQuery.Builder class.
  (Adrien Grand)
18. LUCENE-6570: BooleanQuery is now immutable and can be built using the BooleanQuery.Builder class.
  (Adrien Grand)
19. LUCENE-6702: NRTSuggester: Add a method to inject context values at index time in ContextSuggestField. Simplify ContextQuery logic for extracting contexts and add dedicated method to consider all context values at query time.
  (Areek Zillur, Mike McCandless)
20. LUCENE-6719: NumericUtils getMinInt, getMaxInt, getMinLong, getMaxLong now return null if there are no terms for the specified field, previously these methods returned primitive values and raised an undocumented NullPointerException if there were no terms for the field.
  (hossman, Timothy Potter)
Bug fixes (27)
1. LUCENE-6500: ParallelCompositeReader did not always call closed listeners. This was fixed by LUCENE-6501.
  (Adrien Grand, Uwe Schindler)
2. LUCENE-6520: Geo3D GeoPath.done() would throw an NPE if adjacent path segments were co-linear.
  (Karl Wright via David Smiley)
3. LUCENE-5805: QueryNodeImpl.removeFromParent was doing nothing in a costly manner
  (Christoph Kaser, Cao Manh Dat via Mike McCAndless)
4. LUCENE-6533: SlowCompositeReaderWrapper no longer caches its live docs instance since this can prevent future improvements like a disk-backed live docs
  (Adrien Grand, Mike McCandless)
5. LUCENE-6558: Highlighters now work with CustomScoreQuery
  (Cao Manh Dat via Mike McCandless)
6. LUCENE-6560: BKDPointInBBoxQuery now handles "dateline crossing" correctly
  (Nick Knize, Mike McCandless)
7. LUCENE-6564: Change PrintStreamInfoStream to use thread safe Java 8 ISO-8601 date formatting (in Lucene 5.x use Java 7 FileTime#toString as workaround); fix output of tests to use same format.
  (Uwe Schindler, Ramkumar Aiyengar)
8. LUCENE-6593: Fixed ToChildBlockJoinQuery's scorer to not refuse to advance to a document that belongs to the parent space.
  (Adrien Grand)
9. LUCENE-6591: Never write a negative vLong
  (Robert Muir, Ryan Ernst, Adrien Grand, Mike McCandless)
10. LUCENE-6588: Fix how ToChildBlockJoinQuery deals with acceptDocs.
  (Christoph Kaser via Adrien Grand)
11. LUCENE-6597: Geo3D's GeoCircle now supports a world-globe diameter.
  (Karl Wright via David Smiley)
12. LUCENE-6608: Fix potential resource leak in BigramDictionary.
  (Rishabh Patel via Uwe Schindler)
13. LUCENE-6614: Improve partition detection in IOUtils#spins() so it works with NVMe drives.
  (Uwe Schindler, Mike McCandless)
14. LUCENE-6586: Fix typo in GermanStemmer, causing possible wrong value for substCount.
  (Christoph Kaser via Mike McCandless)
15. LUCENE-6658: Fix IndexUpgrader to also upgrade indexes without any segments.
  (Trejkaz, Uwe Schindler)
16. LUCENE-6677: QueryParserBase fails to enforce maxDeterminizedStates when creating a WildcardQuery
  (David Causse via Mike McCandless)
17. LUCENE-6680: Preserve two suggestions that have same key and weight but different payloads
  (Arcadius Ahouansou via Mike McCandless)
18. LUCENE-6681: SortingMergePolicy must override MergePolicy.size(...).
  (Christine Poerschke via Adrien Grand)
19. LUCENE-6682: StandardTokenizer performance bug: scanner buffer is unnecessarily copied when maxTokenLength doesn't change. Also stop silently maxing out buffer size (and effectively also max token length) at 1M chars, but instead throw an exception from setMaxTokenLength() when the given length is greater than 1M chars.
  (Piotr Idzikowski, Steve Rowe)
20. LUCENE-6696: Fix FilterDirectoryReader.close() to never close the underlying reader several times.
  (Adrien Grand)
21. LUCENE-6334: FastVectorHighlighter failed to highlight phrases across more than one value in a multi-valued field.
  (Chris Earle, Nik Everett via Mike McCandless)
22. LUCENE-6704: GeoPointDistanceQuery was visiting too many term ranges, consuming too much heap for a large radius
  (Nick Knize via Mike McCandless)
23. SOLR-5882: fix ScoreMode.Min at ToParentBlockJoinQuery
  (Mikhail Khludnev)
24. LUCENE-6718: JoinUtil.createJoinQuery failed to rewrite queries before creating a Weight.
  (Adrien Grand)
25. LUCENE-6713: TooComplexToDeterminizeException claims to be serializable but wasn't
  (Simon Willnauer, Mike McCandless)
26. LUCENE-6723: Fix date parsing problems in Java 9 with date formats using English weekday/month names.
  (Uwe Schindler)
27. LUCENE-6618: Properly set MMapDirectory.UNMAP_SUPPORTED when it is now allowed by security policy.
  (Robert Muir)
Changes in Runtime Behavior (12)
1. LUCENE-6501: The subreader structure in ParallelCompositeReader was flattened, because the current implementation had too many hidden bugs regarding refounting and close listeners. If you create a new ParallelCompositeReader, it will just take all leaves of the passed readers and form a flat structure of ParallelLeafReaders instead of trying to assemble the original structure of composite and leaf readers.
  (Adrien Grand, Uwe Schindler)
2. LUCENE-6537: NearSpansOrdered no longer tries to minimize its Span matches. This means that the matching algorithm is entirely lazy. All spans returned by the previous implementation are still reported, but matching documents may now also return additional spans that were previously discarded in preference to shorter overlapping ones.
  (Alan Woodward, Adrien Grand, Paul Elschot)
3. LUCENE-6538: Also include java.vm.version and java.runtime.version in per-segment diagnostics
  (Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
4. LUCENE-6569: Optimize MultiFunction.anyExists and allExists to eliminate excessive array creation in common 2 argument usage
  (Jacob Graves, hossman)
5. LUCENE-2880: Span queries now score more consistently with regular queries.
  (Robert Muir, Adrien Grand)
6. LUCENE-6601: FilteredQuery now always rewrites to a BooleanQuery which handles the query as a MUST clause and the filter as a FILTER clause. LEAP_FROG_QUERY_FIRST_STRATEGY and LEAP_FROG_FILTER_FIRST_STRATEGY do not guarantee anymore which iterator will be advanced first, it will depend on the respective costs of the iterators. QUERY_FIRST_FILTER_STRATEGY and RANDOM_ACCESS_FILTER_STRATEGY still consume the filter using its random-access API, however the returned bits may be called on different documents compared to before.
  (Adrien Grand)
7. LUCENE-6542: FSDirectory's ctor now works with security policies or file systems that restrict write access.
  (Trejkaz, hossman, Uwe Schindler)
8. LUCENE-6651: The default implementation of AttributeImpl#reflectWith(AttributeReflector) now uses AccessControler#doPrivileged() to do the reflection. Please consider implementing this method in all your custom attributes, because the method will be made abstract in Lucene 6.
  (Uwe Schindler)
9. LUCENE-6639: LRUQueryCache and CachingWrapperQuery now consider a query as "used" when the first Scorer is pulled instead of when a Scorer is pulled on the first segment on an index.
  (Terry Smith, Adrien Grand)
10. LUCENE-6579: IndexWriter now sacrifices (closes) itself to protect the index when an unexpected, tragic exception strikes while merging.
  (Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
11. LUCENE-6691: SortingMergePolicy.isSorted now considers FilterLeafReader instances. EarlyTerminatingSortingCollector.terminatedEarly accessor added. TestEarlyTerminatingSortingCollector.testTerminatedEarly test added.
  (Christine Poerschke)
12. LUCENE-6609: Add getSortField impls to many subclasses of FieldCacheSource which return the most direct SortField implementation. In many trivial sort by ValueSource usages, this will result in less RAM, and more precise sorting of extreme values due to no longer converting to double.
  (hossman)
Optimizations (9)
1. LUCENE-6548: Some optimizations for BlockTree's intersect with very finite automata
  (Mike McCandless)
2. LUCENE-6585: Flatten conjunctions and conjunction approximations into parent conjunctions. For example a sloppy phrase query of "foo bar"~5 with a filter of "baz" will internally leapfrog foo,bar,baz as one conjunction.
  (Ryan Ernst, Robert Muir, Adrien Grand)
3. LUCENE-6325: Reduce RAM usage of FieldInfos, and speed up lookup by number, by using an array instead of TreeMap except in very sparse cases
  (Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
4. LUCENE-6617: Reduce heap usage for small FSTs
  (Mike McCandless)
5. LUCENE-6616: IndexWriter now lists the files in the index directory only once on init, and IndexFileDeleter no longer suppresses FileNotFoundException and NoSuchFileException. This also improves IndexFileDeleter to delete segments_N files last, so that in the presence of a virus checker, the index is never left in a state where an expired segments_N references non-existing files
  (Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
6. LUCENE-6645: Optimized the way we merge postings lists in multi-term queries and TermsQuery. This should especially help when there are lots of small postings lists.
  (Adrien Grand, Mike McCandless)
7. LUCENE-6668: Optimized storage for sorted set and sorted numeric doc values in the case that there are few unique sets of values.
  (Adrien Grand, Robert Muir)
8. LUCENE-6690: Sped up MultiTermsEnum.next() on high-cardinality fields.
  (Adrien Grand)
9. LUCENE-6621: Removed two unused variables in analysis/stempel/src/java/org/ egothor/stemmer/Compile.java
  (Rishabh Patel via Christine Poerschke)
Build (6)
1. LUCENE-6518: Don't report false thread leaks from IBM J9 ClassCache Reaper in test framework.
  (Dawid Weiss)
2. LUCENE-6567: Simplify payload checking in SpanPayloadCheckQuery
  (Alan Woodward)
3. LUCENE-6568: Make rat invocation depend on ivy configuration being set up
  (Ramkumar Aiyengar)
4. LUCENE-6683: ivy-fail goal directs people to non-existent page
  (Mike Drob via Steve Rowe)
5. LUCENE-6693: Updated Groovy to 2.4.4, Pegdown to 1.5, Svnkit to 1.8.10. Also fixed some PermGen errors while running full build caused by these updates: Tasks are now installed from root's build.xml.
  (Uwe Schindler)
6. LUCENE-6741: Fix jflex files to regenerate the java files correctly.
  (Uwe Schindler)
Test Framework (4)
1. LUCENE-6637: Fix FSTTester to not violate file permissions on -Dtests.verbose=true.
  (Mesbah M. Alam, Uwe Schindler)
2. LUCENE-6542: LuceneTestCase now has runWithRestrictedPermissions() to run an action with reduced permissions. This can be used to simulate special environments (e.g., read-only dirs). If tests are running without a security manager, an assume cancels test execution automatically.
  (Uwe Schindler)
3. LUCENE-6652: Removed lots of useless Byte(s)TermAttributes all over test infrastructure.
  (Uwe Schindler)
4. LUCENE-6563: Improve MockFileSystemTestCase.testURI to check if a path can be encoded according to local filesystem requirements. Otherwise stop test execution.
  (Christine Poerschke via Uwe Schindler)
Changes in Backwards Compatibility Policy (4)
1. LUCENE-6553: The iterator returned by the LeafReader.postings method now always includes deleted docs, so you have to check for deleted documents on top of the iterator.
  (Adrien Grand)
2. LUCENE-6633: DuplicateFilter has been deprecated and will be removed in 6.0. DiversifiedTopDocsCollector can be used instead with a maximum number of hits per key equal to 1.
  (Adrien Grand)
3. LUCENE-6653: The workflow for consuming the TermToBytesRefAttribute was changed: getBytesRef() now does all work and is called on each token, fillBytesRef() was removed. The implementation is free to reuse the internal BytesRef or return a new one on each call.
  (Uwe Schindler)
4. LUCENE-6682: StandardTokenizer.setMaxTokenLength() now throws an exception if a length greater than 1M chars is given. Previously the effective max token length (the scanner's buffer) was capped at 1M chars, but getMaxTokenLength() incorrectly returned the previously requested length, even when it exceeded 1M.
  (Piotr Idzikowski, Steve Rowe)

Release 5.2.1 [2015-06-15]

Bug Fixes (4)
1. LUCENE-6482: Fix class loading deadlock relating to Codec initialization, default codec and SPI discovery.
  (Shikhar Bhushan, Uwe Schindler)
2. LUCENE-6523: NRT readers now reflect a new commit even if there is no change to the commit user data
  (Mike McCandless)
3. LUCENE-6527: Queries now get a dummy Similarity when scores are not needed in order to not load unnecessary information like norms.
  (Adrien Grand)
4. LUCENE-6559: TimeLimitingCollector now also checks for timeout when a new leaf reader is pulled ie. if we move from one segment to another even without collecting a hit.
  (Simon Willnauer)

Release 5.2.0 [2015-06-07]

New Features (16)
1. LUCENE-6308, LUCENE-6385, LUCENE-6391: Span queries now share document conjunction/intersection code with boolean queries, and use two-phased iterators for faster intersection by avoiding loading positions in certain cases.
  (Paul Elschot, Terry Smith, Robert Muir via Mike McCandless)
2. LUCENE-6393: Add two-phase support to SpanPositionCheckQuery and its subclasses: SpanPositionRangeQuery, SpanPayloadCheckQuery, SpanNearPayloadCheckQuery, SpanFirstQuery.
  (Paul Elschot, Robert Muir)
3. LUCENE-6394: Add two-phase support to SpanNotQuery and refactor FilterSpans to just have an accept(Spans candidate) method for subclasses.
  (Robert Muir)
4. LUCENE-6373: SpanOrQuery shares disjunction logic with boolean queries, and supports two-phased iterators to avoid loading positions when possible.
  (Paul Elschot via Robert Muir)
5. LUCENE-6352, LUCENE-6472: Added a new query time join to the join module that uses global ordinals, which is faster for subsequent joins between reopens.
  (Martijn van Groningen, Adrien Grand)
6. LUCENE-5879: Added experimental auto-prefix terms to BlockTree terms dictionary, exposed as AutoPrefixPostingsFormat
  (Adrien Grand, Uwe Schindler, Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
7. LUCENE-5579: New CompositeSpatialStrategy combines speed of RPT with accuracy of SDV. Includes optimized Intersect predicate to avoid many geometry checks. Uses TwoPhaseIterator.
  (David Smiley)
8. LUCENE-5989: Allow passing BytesRef to StringField to make it easier to index arbitrary binary tokens, and change the experimental StoredFieldVisitor.stringField API to take UTF-8 byte[] instead of String
  (Mike McCandless)
9. LUCENE-6389: Added ScoreMode.Min that aggregates the lowest child score to the parent hit.
  (Martijn van Groningen, Adrien Grand)
10. LUCENE-6423: New LimitTokenOffsetFilter that limits tokens to those before a configured maximum start offset.
  (David Smiley)
11. LUCENE-6422: New spatial PackedQuadPrefixTree, a generally more efficient choice than QuadPrefixTree, especially for high precision shapes. When used, you should typically disable RPT's pruneLeafyBranches option.
  (Nick Knize, David Smiley)
12. LUCENE-6451: Expressions now support bindings keys that look like zero arg functions
  (Jack Conradson via Ryan Ernst)
13. LUCENE-6083: Add SpanWithinQuery and SpanContainingQuery that return spans inside of / containing another spans.
  (Paul Elschot via Robert Muir)
14. LUCENE-6454: Added distinction between member variable and method in expression helper VariableContext
  (Jack Conradson via Ryan Ernst)
15. LUCENE-6196: New Spatial "Geo3d" API with partial Spatial4j integration. It is a set of shapes implemented using 3D planar geometry for calculating spatial relations on the surface of a sphere. Shapes include Point, BBox, Circle, Path (buffered line string), and Polygon.
  (Karl Wright via David Smiley)
16. LUCENE-6464: Add a new expert lookup method to AnalyzingInfixSuggester to accept an arbitrary BooleanQuery to express how contexts should be filtered.
  (Arcadius Ahouansou via Mike McCandless)
Optimizations (10)
1. LUCENE-6379: IndexWriter.deleteDocuments(Query...) now detects if one of the queries is MatchAllDocsQuery and just invokes the much faster IndexWriter.deleteAll in that case
  (Robert Muir, Adrien Grand, Mike McCandless)
2. LUCENE-6388: Optimize SpanNearQuery when payloads are not present.
  (Robert Muir)
3. LUCENE-6421: Defer reading of positions in MultiPhraseQuery until they are needed.
  (Robert Muir)
4. LUCENE-6392: Highligher- reduce memory of tokens in TokenStreamFromTermVector, and add maxStartOffset limit.
  (David Smiley)
5. LUCENE-6456: Queries that generate doc id sets that are too large for the query cache are not cached instead of evicting everything.
  (Adrien Grand)
6. LUCENE-6455: Require a minimum index size to enable query caching in order not to cache eg. on MemoryIndex.
  (Adrien Grand)
7. LUCENE-6330: BooleanScorer (used for top-level disjunctions) does not decode norms when not necessary anymore.
  (Adrien Grand)
8. LUCENE-6350: TermsQuery is now compressed with PrefixCodedTerms.
  (Robert Muir, Mike McCandless, Adrien Grand)
9. LUCENE-6458: Multi-term queries matching few terms per segment now execute like a disjunction.
  (Adrien Grand)
10. LUCENE-6360: TermsQuery rewrites to a disjunction when there are 16 matching terms or less.
  (Adrien Grand)
Bug Fixes (16)
1. LUCENE-329: Fix FuzzyQuery defaults to rank exact matches highest.
  (Mark Harwood, Adrien Grand)
2. LUCENE-6378: Fix all RuntimeExceptions to throw the underlying root cause.
  (Varun Thacker, Adrien Grand, Mike McCandless)
3. LUCENE-6415: TermsQuery.extractTerms is a no-op (used to throw an UnsupportedOperationException).
  (Adrien Grand)
4. LUCENE-6416: BooleanQuery.extractTerms now only extracts terms from scoring clauses.
  (Adrien Grand)
5. LUCENE-6409: Fixed integer overflow in LongBitSet.ensureCapacity.
  (Luc Vanlerberghe via Adrien Grand)
6. LUCENE-6424, LUCENE-6430: Fix many bugs with mockfs filesystems in the test-framework: always consistently wrap Path, fix buggy behavior for globs, implement equals/hashcode for filtered Paths, etc.
  (Ryan Ernst, Simon Willnauer, Robert Muir)
7. LUCENE-6426: Fix FieldType's copy constructor to also copy over the numeric precision step.
  (Adrien Grand)
8. LUCENE-6345: Null check terms/fields in Lucene queries
  (Lee Hinman via Mike McCandless)
9. LUCENE-6400: SolrSynonymParser should preserve original token instead of replacing it with a synonym, when expand=true and there is no explicit mapping
  (Ian Ribas, Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
10. LUCENE-6449: Don't throw NullPointerException if some segments are missing the field being highlighted, in PostingsHighlighter
  (Roman Khmelichek via Mike McCandless)
11. LUCENE-6427: Added assertion about the presence of ghost bits in (Fixed|Long)BitSet.

  (Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
3. LUCENE-6425: Replaced Query.extractTerms with Weight.extractTerms.
  (Adrien Grand)
4. LUCENE-6446: Simplified Explanation API.

  (Robert Muir, Adrien Grand, Mike McCandless)
4. LUCENE-6399: Benchmark module's QueryMaker.resetInputs should call setConfig so queries can react to property changes in new rounds.
  (David Smiley)
5. LUCENE-6382: Lucene now enforces that positions never exceed the maximum value IndexWriter.MAX_POSITION.
  (Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
6. LUCENE-6372: Simplified and improved equals/hashcode of span queries.
  (Paul Elschot via Adrien Grand)

  (Uwe Schindler)
Test Framework (2)
1. LUCENE-6419: Added two-phase iteration assertions to AssertingQuery.
  (Adrien Grand)
2. LUCENE-6437: Randomly set CPU core count and spins, derived from test's master seed, used by ConcurrentMergeScheduler to set dynamic defaults, for better test randomization and to help tests reproduce
  (Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)

Release 5.1.0 [2015-04-14]

New Features (9)
1. LUCENE-6066: Added DiversifiedTopDocsCollector to misc for collecting no more than a given number of results under a choice of key. Introduces new remove method to core's PriorityQueue.
  (Mark Harwood)
2. LUCENE-6191: New spatial 2D heatmap faceting for PrefixTreeStrategy.
  (David Smiley)
3. LUCENE-6227: Added BooleanClause.Occur.FILTER to filter documents without participating in scoring (on the contrary to MUST).
  (Adrien Grand)
4. LUCENE-6294: Added oal.search.CollectorManager to allow for parallelization of the document collection process on IndexSearcher.
  (Adrien Grand)
5. LUCENE-6303: Added filter caching baked into IndexSearcher, disabled by default.
  (Adrien Grand)
6. LUCENE-6304: Added a new MatchNoDocsQuery that matches no documents.
  (Lee Hinman via Adrien Grand)
7. LUCENE-6341: Add a -fast option to CheckIndex.
  (Robert Muir)
8. LUCENE-6355: IndexWriter's infoStream now also logs time to write FieldInfos during merge
  (Lee Hinman via Mike McCandless)
9. LUCENE-6339: Added Near-real time Document Suggester via custom postings format
  (Areek Zillur, Mike McCandless, Simon Willnauer)
Bug Fixes (11)
1. LUCENE-6368: FST.save can truncate output (BufferedOutputStream may be closed after the underlying stream).
  (Ippei Matsushima via Dawid Weiss)
2. LUCENE-6249: StandardQueryParser doesn't support pure negative clauses.
  (Dawid Weiss)
3. LUCENE-6190: Spatial pointsOnly flag on PrefixTreeStrategy shouldn't switch all predicates to Intersects.
  (David Smiley)
4. LUCENE-6242: Ram usage estimation was incorrect for SparseFixedBitSet when object alignment was different from 8.
  (Uwe Schindler, Adrien Grand)
5. LUCENE-6293: Fixed TimSorter bug.
  (Adrien Grand)
6. LUCENE-6001: DrillSideways hits NullPointerException for certain BooleanQuery searches.
  (Dragan Jotannovic, jane chang via Mike McCandless)
7. LUCENE-6311: Fix NIOFSDirectory and SimpleFSDirectory so that the toString method of IndexInputs confess when they are from a compound file.
  (Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
8. LUCENE-6381: Add defensive wait time limit in DocumentsWriterStallControl to prevent hangs during indexing if we miss a .notify/All somewhere
  (Mike McCandless)
9. LUCENE-6386: Correct IndexWriter.forceMerge documentation to state that up to 3X (X = current index size) spare disk space may be needed to complete forceMerge(1).
  (Robert Muir, Shai Erera, Mike McCandless)
10. LUCENE-6395: Seeking by term ordinal was failing to set the term's bytes in MemoryIndex
  (Mike McCandless)
11. LUCENE-6429: Removed the TermQuery(Term,int) constructor which could lead to inconsistent term statistics.
  (Adrien Grand, Robert Muir)
Optimizations (16)
1. LUCENE-6183, LUCENE-5647: Avoid recompressing stored fields and term vectors when merging segments without deletions. Lucene50Codec's BEST_COMPRESSION mode uses a higher deflate level for more compact storage.
  (Robert Muir)
2. LUCENE-6184: Make BooleanScorer only score windows that contain matches.
  (Adrien Grand)
3. LUCENE-6161: Speed up resolving of deleted terms to docIDs by doing a combined merge sort between deleted terms and segment terms instead of a separate merge sort for each segment. In delete-heavy use cases this can be a sizable speedup.
  (Mike McCandless)
4. LUCENE-6201: BooleanScorer can now deal with values of minShouldMatch that are greater than one and is used when queries produce dense result sets.
  (Adrien Grand)
5. LUCENE-6218: Don't decode frequencies or match all positions when scoring is not needed.
  (Robert Muir)
6. LUCENE-6233 Speed up CheckIndex when the index has term vectors
  (Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
7. LUCENE-6198: Added the TwoPhaseIterator API, exposed on scorers which is for now only used on phrase queries and conjunctions in order to check positions lazily if the phrase query is in a conjunction with other queries.
  (Robert Muir, Adrien Grand, David Smiley)
8. LUCENE-6244, LUCENE-6251: All boolean queries but those that have a minShouldMatch > 1 now either propagate or take advantage of the two-phase iteration capabilities added in LUCENE-6198.
  (Adrien Grand, Robert Muir)
9. LUCENE-6241: FSDirectory.listAll() doesnt filter out subdirectories anymore, for faster performance. Subdirectories don't matter to Lucene. If you need to filter out non-index files with some custom usage, you may want to look at the IndexFileNames class.
  (Robert Muir)
10. LUCENE-6262: ConstantScoreQuery does not wrap the inner weight anymore when scores are not required.
  (Adrien Grand)
11. LUCENE-6263: MultiCollector automatically caches scores when several collectors need them.
  (Adrien Grand)
12. LUCENE-6275: SloppyPhraseScorer now uses the same logic as ConjunctionScorer in order to advance doc IDs, which takes advantage of the cost() API.
  (Adrien Grand)
13. LUCENE-6290: QueryWrapperFilter propagates approximations and FilteredQuery rewrites to a BooleanQuery when the filter is a QueryWrapperFilter in order to leverage approximations.
  (Adrien Grand)
14. LUCENE-6318: Reduce RAM usage of FieldInfos when there are many fields.
  (Mike McCandless, Robert Muir)
15. LUCENE-6320: Speed up CheckIndex.
  (Robert Muir)
16. LUCENE-4942: Optimized the encoding of PrefixTreeStrategy indexes for non-point data: 33% smaller index, 68% faster indexing, and 44% faster searching. YMMV
  (David Smiley)
API Changes (21)
1. LUCENE-6204, LUCENE-6208: Simplify CompoundFormat: remove files() and remove files parameter to write().
  (Robert Muir)
2. LUCENE-6217: Add IndexWriter.isOpen and getTragicException.
  (Simon Willnauer, Mike McCandless)
3. LUCENE-6218, LUCENE-6220: Add Collector.needsScores() and needsScores parameter to Query.createWeight().
  (Robert Muir, Adrien Grand)
4. LUCENE-4524, LUCENE-6246, LUCENE-6256, LUCENE-6271: Merge DocsEnum and DocsAndPositionsEnum into a single PostingsEnum iterator. TermsEnum.docs() and TermsEnum.docsAndPositions() are replaced by TermsEnum.postings().
  (Alan Woodward, Simon Willnauer, Robert Muir, Ryan Ernst)
5. LUCENE-6222: Removed TermFilter, use a QueryWrapperFilter(TermQuery) instead. This will be as efficient now that queries can opt out from scoring.
  (Adrien Grand)
6. LUCENE-6269: Removed BooleanFilter, use a QueryWrapperFilter(BooleanQuery) instead.
  (Adrien Grand)
7. LUCENE-6270: Replaced TermsFilter with TermsQuery, use a QueryWrapperFilter(TermsQuery) instead.
  (Adrien Grand)
8. LUCENE-6223: Move BooleanQuery.BooleanWeight to BooleanWeight.
  (Robert Muir)
9. LUCENE-1518: Make Filter extend Query and return 0 as score.
  (Uwe Schindler, Adrien Grand)
10. LUCENE-6245: Force Filter subclasses to implement toString API from Query.
  (Ryan Ernst)
11. LUCENE-6268: Replace FieldValueFilter and DocValuesRangeFilter with equivalent queries that support approximations.
  (Adrien Grand)
12. LUCENE-6289: Replace DocValuesRangeFilter with DocValuesRangeQuery which supports approximations.
  (Adrien Grand)
13. LUCENE-6266: Remove unnecessary Directory params from SegmentInfo.toString, SegmentInfos.files/toString, and SegmentCommitInfo.toString.
  (Robert Muir)
14. LUCENE-6272: Scorer extends DocSetIdIterator rather than DocsEnum
  (Alan Woodward)
15. LUCENE-6281: Removed support for slow collations from lucene/sandbox. Better performance would be achieved through CollationKeyAnalyzer or ICUCollationKeyAnalyzer.
  (Adrien Grand)
16. LUCENE-6286: Removed IndexSearcher methods that take a Filter object. A BooleanQuery with a filter clause must be used instead.
  (Adrien Grand)
17. LUCENE-6300: PrefixFilter, TermRangeFilter and NumericRangeFilter have been removed. Use PrefixQuery, TermRangeQuery and NumericRangeQuery instead.
  (Adrien Grand)
18. LUCENE-6303: Replaced FilterCache with QueryCache and CachingWrapperFilter with CachingWrapperQuery.
  (Adrien Grand)
19. LUCENE-6317: Deprecate DataOutput.writeStringSet and writeStringStringMap. Use writeSetOfStrings/Maps instead.
  (Mike McCandless, Robert Muir)
20. LUCENE-6307: Rename SegmentInfo.getDocCount -> .maxDoc, SegmentInfos.totalDocCount -> .totalMaxDoc, MergeInfo.totalDocCount
  - > .totalMaxDoc and MergePolicy.OneMerge.totalDocCount ->
  .totalMaxDoc
  (Adrien Grand, Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
21. LUCENE-6367: PrefixQuery now subclasses AutomatonQuery, removing the specialized PrefixTermsEnum.
  (Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
Other (6)
1. LUCENE-6248: Remove unused odd constants from StandardSyntaxParser.jj
  (Dawid Weiss)
2. LUCENE-6193: Collapse identical catch branches in try-catch statements.
  (shalin)
3. LUCENE-6239: Removed RAMUsageEstimator's sun.misc.Unsafe calls.
  (Robert Muir, Dawid Weiss, Uwe Schindler)
4. LUCENE-6292: Seed StringHelper better.
  (Robert Muir)
5. LUCENE-6333: Refactored queries to delegate their equals and hashcode impls to the super class.
  (Lee Hinman via Adrien Grand)
6. LUCENE-6343: DefaultSimilarity javadocs had the wrong float value to demonstrate precision of encoded norms
  (András Péteri via Mike McCandless)
Changes in Runtime Behavior (2)
1. LUCENE-6255: PhraseQuery now ignores leading holes and requires that positions are positive and added in order.
  (Adrien Grand)
2. LUCENE-6298: SimpleQueryParser returns an empty query rather than null, if e.g. the terms were all stopwords.
  (Lee Hinman via Robert Muir)

Release 5.0.0 [2015-02-20]

New Features (32)
1. LUCENE-5945: All file handling converted to NIO.2 apis.
  (Robert Muir)
2. LUCENE-5946: SimpleFSDirectory now uses Files.newByteChannel, for portability with custom FileSystemProviders. If you want the old non-interruptible behavior of RandomAccessFile, use RAFDirectory in the misc/ module.
  (Uwe Schindler, Robert Muir)
3. SOLR-3359: Added analyzer attribute/property to SynonymFilterFactory.
  (Ryo Onodera via Koji Sekiguchi)
4. LUCENE-5648: Index and search date ranges, particularly multi-valued ones. It's implemented in the spatial module as DateRangePrefixTree used with NumberRangePrefixTreeStrategy.
  (David Smiley)
5. LUCENE-5895: Lucene now stores a unique id per-segment and per-commit to aid in accurate replication of index files
  (Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
6. LUCENE-5889: Add commit method to AnalyzingInfixSuggester, and allow just using .add to build up the suggester.
  (Varun Thacker via Mike McCandless)
7. LUCENE-5123: Add a "pull" option to the postings writing API, so that a PostingsFormat now receives a Fields instance and it is responsible for iterating through all fields, terms, documents and positions.
  (Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
8. LUCENE-5268: Full cutover of all postings formats to the "pull" FieldsConsumer API, removing PushFieldsConsumer. Added new PushPostingsWriterBase for single-pass push of docs/positions to the postings format.
  (Mike McCandless)
9. LUCENE-5906: Use Files.delete everywhere instead of File.delete, so that when things go wrong, you get a real exception message why.
  (Uwe Schindler, Robert Muir)
10. LUCENE-5933: Added FilterSpans for easier wrapping of Spans instance.
  (Shai Erera)
11. LUCENE-5925: Remove fallback logic from opening commits, instead use Directory.renameFile so that in-progress commits are never visible.
  (Robert Muir)
12. LUCENE-5820: SuggestStopFilter should have a factory.
  (Varun Thacker via Steve Rowe)
13. LUCENE-5949: Add Accountable.getChildResources().
  (Robert Muir)
14. SOLR-5986: Added ExitableDirectoryReader that extends FilterDirectoryReader and enables exiting requests that take too long to enumerate over terms.
  (Anshum Gupta, Steve Rowe, Robert Muir)
15. LUCENE-5911: Add MemoryIndex.freeze() to allow thread-safe searching over a MemoryIndex.
  (Alan Woodward, David Smiley, Robert Muir)
16. LUCENE-5969: Lucene 5.0 has a new index format with mismatched file detection, improved exception handling, and indirect norms encoding for sparse fields.
  (Mike McCandless, Ryan Ernst, Robert Muir)
17. LUCENE-6053: Add Serbian analyzer.
  (Nikola Smolenski via Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
18. LUCENE-4400: Add support for new NYSIIS Apache commons phonetic codec
  (Thomas Neidhart via Mike McCandless)
19. LUCENE-6059: Add Daitch-Mokotoff Soundex phonetic Apache commons phonetic codec, and upgrade to Apache commons codec 1.10.
  (Thomas Neidhart via Mike McCandless)
20. LUCENE-6058: With the upgrade to Apache commons codec 1.10, the experimental BeiderMorseFilter has changed its behavior, so any index using it will need to be rebuilt.
  (Thomas Neidhart via Mike McCandless)
21. LUCENE-6050: Accept MUST and MUST_NOT (in addition to SHOULD) for each context passed to Analyzing/BlendedInfixSuggester
  (Arcadius Ahouansou, jane chang via Mike McCandless)
22. LUCENE-5929: Also extract terms to highlight from block join queries.
  (Julie Tibshirani via Mike McCandless)
23. LUCENE-6063: Allow overriding whether/how ConcurrentMergeScheduler stalls incoming threads when merges are falling behind
  (Mike McCandless)
24. LUCENE-5833: DocumentDictionary now enumerates each value separately in a multi-valued field (not just the first value), so you can build suggesters from multi-valued fields.
  (Varun Thacker via Mike McCandless)
25. LUCENE-6077: Added a filter cache.
  (Adrien Grand, Robert Muir)
26. LUCENE-6088: TermsFilter implements Accountable.
  (Adrien Grand)
27. LUCENE-6034: The default highlighter when used with QueryScorer will highlight payload-sensitive queries provided that term vectors with positions, offsets, and payloads are present. This is the only highlighter that can highlight such queries accurately.
  (David Smiley)
28. LUCENE-5914: Add an option to Lucene50Codec to support either BEST_SPEED or BEST_COMPRESSION for stored fields.
  (Adrien Grand, Robert Muir)
29. LUCENE-6119: Add auto-IO-throttling to ConcurrentMergeScheduler, to rate limit IO writes for each merge depending on incoming merge rate.
  (Mike McCandless)
30. LUCENE-6155: Add payload support to MemoryIndex. The default highlighter's QueryScorer and WeighedSpanTermExtractor now have setUsePayloads(bool).
  (David Smiley)
31. LUCENE-6166: Deletions (alone) can now trigger new merges.
  (Mike McCandless)
32. LUCENE-6177: Add CustomAnalyzer that allows to configure analyzers like you do in Solr's index schema. This class has a builder API to configure Tokenizers, TokenFilters, and CharFilters based on their SPI names and parameters as documented by the corresponding factories.
  (Uwe Schindler)
Optimizations (18)
1. LUCENE-5960: Use a more efficient bitset, not a Set<Integer>, to track visited states.
  (Markus Heiden via Mike McCandless)
2. LUCENE-5959: Don't allocate excess memory when building automaton in finish.
  (Markus Heiden via Mike McCandless)
3. LUCENE-5963: Reduce memory allocations in AnalyzingSuggester.
  (Markus Heiden via Mike McCandless)
4. LUCENE-5938: MultiTermQuery.CONSTANT_SCORE_FILTER_REWRITE is now faster on queries that match few documents by using a sparse bit set implementation.
  (Adrien Grand)
5. LUCENE-5969: Refactor merging to be more efficient, checksum calculation is per-segment/per-producer, and norms and doc values merging no longer cause RAM spikes for latent fields.
  (Mike McCandless, Robert Muir)
6. LUCENE-5983: CachingWrapperFilter now uses a new DocIdSet implementation called RoaringDocIdSet instead of WAH8DocIdSet.
  (Adrien Grand)
7. LUCENE-6022: DocValuesDocIdSet checks live docs before doc values.
  (Adrien Grand)
8. LUCENE-6030: Add norms patched compression for a small number of common values
  (Ryan Ernst)
9. LUCENE-6040: Speed up EliasFanoDocIdSet through broadword bit selection.
  (Paul Elschot)
10. LUCENE-6033: CachingTokenFilter now uses ArrayList not LinkedList, and has new isCached() method.
  (David Smiley)
11. LUCENE-6031: TokenSources (in the default highlighter) converts term vectors into a TokenStream much faster in linear time (not N*log(N) using less memory, and with reset() implemented. Only one of offsets or positions are required of the term vector.
  (David Smiley)
12. LUCENE-6089, LUCENE-6090: Tune CompressionMode.HIGH_COMPRESSION for better compression and less cpu usage.
  (Adrien Grand, Robert Muir)
13. LUCENE-6034: QueryScorer, used by the default highlighter, needn't re-index the provided TokenStream with MemoryIndex when it comes from TokenSources (term vectors) with offsets and positions.
  (David Smiley)
14. LUCENE-5951: ConcurrentMergeScheduler detects whether the index is on SSD or not and does a better job defaulting its settings. This only works on Linux for now; other OS's will continue to use the previous defaults (tuned for spinning disks).
  (Robert Muir, Uwe Schindler, hossman, Mike McCandless)
15. LUCENE-6131: Optimize SortingMergePolicy.
  (Robert Muir)
16. LUCENE-6133: Improve default StoredFieldsWriter.merge() to be more efficient.
  (Robert Muir)
17. LUCENE-6145: Make EarlyTerminatingSortingCollector able to early-terminate when the sort order is a prefix of the index-time order.
  (Adrien Grand)
18. LUCENE-6178: Score boolean queries containing MUST_NOT clauses with BooleanScorer2, to use skip list data and avoid unnecessary scoring.
  (Adrien Grand, Robert Muir)
API Changes (40)
1. LUCENE-5900: Deprecated more constructors taking Version in *InfixSuggester and ICUCollationKeyAnalyzer, and removed TEST_VERSION_CURRENT from the test framework.
  (Ryan Ernst)
2. LUCENE-4535: oal.util.FilterIterator is now an internal API.
  (Adrien Grand)
3. LUCENE-4924: DocIdSetIterator.docID() must now return -1 when the iterator is not positioned. This change affects all classes that inherit from DocIdSetIterator, including DocsEnum and DocsAndPositionsEnum.
  (Adrien Grand)
4. LUCENE-5127: Reduce RAM usage of FixedGapTermsIndex. Remove IndexWriterConfig.setTermIndexInterval, IndexWriterConfig.setReaderTermsIndexDivisor, and termsIndexDivisor from StandardDirectoryReader. These options have been no-ops with the default codec since Lucene 4.0. If you want to configure the interval for this term index, pass it directly in your codec, where it can also be configured per-field.
  (Robert Muir)
5. LUCENE-5388: Remove Reader from Tokenizer's constructor and from Analyzer's createComponents. TokenStreams now always get their input via setReader.
  (Benson Margulies via Robert Muir - pull request #16)
6. LUCENE-5527: The Collector API has been refactored to use a dedicated Collector per leaf.
  (Shikhar Bhushan, Adrien Grand)
7. LUCENE-5702: The FieldComparator API has been refactor to a per-leaf API, just like Collectors.
  (Adrien Grand)
8. LUCENE-4246: IndexWriter.close now always closes, even if it throws an exception. The new IndexWriterConfig.setCommitOnClose (default true) determines whether close() should commit before closing.
9. LUCENE-5608, LUCENE-5565: Refactor SpatialPrefixTree/Cell API. Doesn't use Strings as tokens anymore, and now iterates cells on-demand during indexing instead of building a collection. RPT now has more setters.
  (David Smiley)
10. LUCENE-5666: Change uninverted access (sorting, faceting, grouping, etc) to use the DocValues API instead of FieldCache. For FieldCache functionality, use UninvertingReader in lucene/misc (or implement your own FilterReader). UninvertingReader is more efficient: supports multi-valued numeric fields, detects when a multi-valued field is single-valued, reuses caches of compatible types (e.g. SORTED also supports BINARY and SORTED_SET access without insanity). "Insanity" is no longer possible unless you explicitly want it. Rename FieldCache* and DocTermOrds* classes in the search package to DocValues*. Move SortedSetSortField to core and add SortedSetFieldSource to queries/, which takes the same selectors. Add helper methods to DocValues.java that are better suited for search code (never return null, etc).
  (Mike McCandless, Robert Muir)
11. LUCENE-5871: Remove Version from IndexWriterConfig. Use IndexWriterConfig.setCommitOnClose to change the behavior of IndexWriter.close(). The default has been changed to match that of 4.x.
  (Ryan Ernst, Mike McCandless)
12. LUCENE-5965: CorruptIndexException requires a String or DataInput resource.
  (Robert Muir)
13. LUCENE-5972: IndexFormatTooOldException and IndexFormatTooNewException now extend from IOException.
  (Ryan Ernst, Robert Muir)
14. LUCENE-5569: *AtomicReader/AtomicReaderContext have been renamed to *LeafReader/LeafReaderContext.
  (Ryan Ernst)
15. LUCENE-5938: Removed MultiTermQuery.ConstantScoreAutoRewrite as MultiTermQuery.CONSTANT_SCORE_FILTER_REWRITE is usually better.
  (Adrien Grand)
16. LUCENE-5924: Rename CheckIndex -fix option to -exorcise. This option does not actually fix the index, it just drops data.
  (Robert Muir)
17. LUCENE-5969: Add Codec.compoundFormat, which handles the encoding of compound files. Add getMergeInstance() to codec producer APIs, which can be overridden to return an instance optimized for merging instead of searching. Add Terms.getStats() which can return additional codec-specific statistics about a field. Change instance method SegmentInfos.read() to two static methods: SegmentInfos.readCommit() and SegmentInfos.readLatestCommit().
  (Mike McCandless, Robert Muir)
18. LUCENE-5992: Remove FieldInfos from SegmentInfosWriter.write API.
  (Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
19. LUCENE-5998: Simplify Field/SegmentInfoFormat to read+write methods.
  (Robert Muir)
20. LUCENE-6000: Removed StandardTokenizerInterface. Tokenizers now use their jflex impl directly.
  (Ryan Ernst)
21. LUCENE-6006: Removed FieldInfo.normType since it's redundant: it will be DocValuesType.NUMERIC if the field indexed and does not omit norms, else null.
  (Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
22. LUCENE-6013: Removed indexed boolean from IndexableFieldType and FieldInfo, since it's redundant with IndexOptions != null.
  (Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
23. LUCENE-6021: FixedBitSet.nextSetBit now returns DocIdSetIterator.NO_MORE_DOCS instead of -1 when there are no more bits which are set.
  (Adrien Grand)
24. LUCENE-5953: Directory and LockFactory APIs were restructured: Locking is now under the responsibility of the Directory implementation. LockFactory is only used by subclasses of BaseDirectory to delegate locking to an impl class. LockFactories are now singletons and are responsible to create a Lock instance based on a Directory implementation passed to the factory method. See MIGRATE.txt for more details.
  (Uwe Schindler, Robert Muir)
25. LUCENE-6062: Throw exception instead of silently doing nothing if you try to sort/group/etc on a misconfigured field (e.g. no docvalues, no UninvertingReader, etc).
  (Robert Muir)
26. LUCENE-6068: LeafReader.fields() never returns null.
  (Robert Muir)
27. LUCENE-6082: Remove abort() from codec apis.
  (Robert Muir)
28. LUCENE-6084: IndexOutput's constructor now requires a String resourceDescription so its toString is sane
  (Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
29. LUCENE-6087: Allow passing custom DirectoryReader to SearcherManager
  (Mike McCandless)
30. LUCENE-6085: Undeprecate SegmentInfo attributes, but add safety so they won't be trappy if codec tries to use them during docvalues updates.
  (Robert Muir)
31. LUCENE-6097: Remove dangerous / overly expert IndexWriter.abortMerges and waitForMerges methods.
  (Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
32. LUCENE-6099: Add FilterDirectory.unwrap and FilterDirectoryReader.unwrap
  (Simon Willnauer, Mike McCandless)
33. LUCENE-6121: CachingTokenFilter.reset() now propagates to its input if called before incrementToken(). You must call reset() now on this filter instead of doing it a-priori on the input(), which previously didn't work.
  (David Smiley, Robert Muir)
34. LUCENE-6147: Make the core Accountables.namedAccountable function public
  (Ryan Ernst)
35. LUCENE-6150: Remove staleFiles set and onIndexOutputClosed() from FSDirectory.
  (Uwe Schindler, Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
36. LUCENE-6146: Replaced Directory.copy() with Directory.copyFrom().
  (Robert Muir)
37. LUCENE-6149: Infix suggesters' highlighting and allTermsRequired can be set at the constructor for non-contextual lookup.
  (Boon Low, Tomás Fernández Löbbe)
38. LUCENE-6158, LUCENE-6165: IndexWriter.addIndexes(IndexReader...) changed to addIndexes(CodecReader...)
  (Robert Muir)
39. LUCENE-6179: Out-of-order scoring is not allowed anymore, so Weight.scoresDocsOutOfOrder and LeafCollector.acceptsDocsOutOfOrder have been removed and boolean queries now always score in order.
40. LUCENE-6212: IndexWriter no longer accepts per-document Analyzer to add/updateDocument. These methods were trappy as they made it easy to accidentally index tokens that were not easily searchable.
  (Mike McCandless)
Bug Fixes (28)
1. LUCENE-5650: Enforce read-only access to any path outside the temporary folder via security manager, and make test temp dirs absolute.
  (Ryan Ernst, Dawid Weiss)
2. LUCENE-5948: RateLimiter now fully inits itself on init.
  (Varun Thacker via Mike McCandless)
3. LUCENE-5981: CheckIndex obtains write.lock, since with some parameters it may modify the index, and to prevent false corruption reports, as it does not have the regular "spinlock" of DirectoryReader.open. It now implements Closeable and you must close it to release the lock.
  (Mike McCandless, Robert Muir)
4. LUCENE-6004: Don't highlight the LookupResult.key returned from AnalyzingInfixSuggester
  (Christian Reuschling, jane chang via Mike McCandless)
5. LUCENE-5980: Don't let document length overflow.
  (Robert Muir)
6. LUCENE-5961: Fix the exists() method for FunctionValues returned by many ValueSources to behave properly when wrapping other ValueSources which do not exist for the specified document
  (hossman)
7. LUCENE-6039: Add IndexOptions.NONE and DocValuesType.NONE instead of using null to mean not index and no doc values, renamed IndexOptions.DOCS_ONLY to DOCS, and pulled IndexOptions and DocValues out of FieldInfo into their own classes in org.apache.lucene.index
  (Simon Willnauer, Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
8. LUCENE-6041: Remove sugar methods FieldInfo.isIndexed and FieldInfo.hasDocValues.
  (Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
9. LUCENE-6044: Fix backcompat support for token filters with enablePositionIncrements=false. Also fixed backcompat for TrimFilter with updateOffsets=true. These options are supported with a match version before 4.4, and no longer valid at all with 5.0.
  (Ryan Ernst)
10. LUCENE-6042: CustomScoreQuery explain was incorrect in some cases, such as when nested inside a boolean query.
  (Denis Lantsman via Robert Muir)
11. LUCENE-6046: Add maxDeterminizedStates safety to determinize (which has an exponential worst case) so that if it would create too many states, it now throws an exception instead of exhausting CPU/RAM.
  (Nik Everett via Mike McCandless)
12. LUCENE-6054: Allow repeating the empty automaton
  (Nik Everett via Mike McCandless)
13. LUCENE-6049: Don't throw cryptic exception writing a segment when the only docs in it had fields that hit non-aborting exceptions during indexing but also had doc values.
  (Mike McCandless)
14. LUCENE-6055: PayloadAttribute.clone() now does a deep clone of the underlying bytes.
  (Shai Erera)
15. LUCENE-6060: Remove dangerous IndexWriter.unlock method
  (Simon Willnauer, Mike McCandless)
16. LUCENE-6062: Pass correct fieldinfos to docvalues producer when the segment has updates.
  (Mike McCandless, Shai Erera, Robert Muir)
17. LUCENE-6075: Don't overflow int in SimpleRateLimiter
  (Boaz Leskes via Mike McCandless)
18. LUCENE-5987: IndexWriter will now forcefully close itself on aborting exception (an exception that would otherwise cause silent data loss).
  (Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
19. LUCENE-6094: Allow IW.rollback to stop ConcurrentMergeScheduler even when it's stalling because there are too many merges.
  (Mike McCandless)
20. LUCENE-6105: Don't cache FST root arcs if the number of root arcs is small, or if the cache would be > 20% of the size of the FST.
  (Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
21. LUCENE-6124: Fix double-close() problems in codec and store APIs.
  (Robert Muir)
22. LUCENE-6152: Fix double close problems in OutputStreamIndexOutput.
  (Uwe Schindler)
23. LUCENE-6139: Highlighter: TokenGroup start & end offset getters should have been returning the offsets of just the matching tokens in the group when there's a distinction.
  (David Smiley)
24. LUCENE-6173: NumericTermAttribute and spatial/CellTokenStream do not clone their BytesRef(Builder)s. Also equals/hashCode was missing.
  (Uwe Schindler)
25. LUCENE-6205: Fixed intermittent concurrency issue that could cause FileNotFoundException when writing doc values updates at the same time that a merge kicks off.
  (Mike McCandless)
26. LUCENE-6192: Fix int overflow corruption case in skip data for high frequency terms in extremely large indices
  (Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
27. LUCENE-6093: Don't throw NullPointerException from BlendedInfixSuggester for lookups that do not end in a prefix token.
  (jane chang via Mike McCandless)
28. LUCENE-6214: Fixed IndexWriter deadlock when one thread is committing while another opens a near-real-time reader and an unrecoverable (tragic) exception is hit.
  (Simon Willnauer, Mike McCandless)
Documentation (3)
1. LUCENE-5392: Add/improve analysis package documentation to reflect analysis API changes.

  (Ryan Ernst)
4. LUCENE-6002: Monster tests no longer fail. Most of them now have an 80 hour timeout, effectively removing the timeout. The tests that operate near the 2 billion limit now use IndexWriter.MAX_DOCS instead of Integer.MAX_VALUE. Some of the slow Monster tests now explicitly choose the default codec.
  (Mike McCandless, Shawn Heisey)
5. LUCENE-5968: Improve error message when 'ant beast' is run on top-level modules.
  (Ramkumar Aiyengar, Uwe Schindler)
6. LUCENE-6120: Fix MockDirectoryWrapper's close() handling.
  (Mike McCandless, Robert Muir)
Build (5)
1. LUCENE-5909: Smoke tester now has better command line parsing and optionally also runs on Java 8.
  (Ryan Ernst, Uwe Schindler)
2. LUCENE-5902: Add bumpVersion.py script to manage version increase after release branch is cut.
3. LUCENE-5962: Rename diffSources.py to createPatch.py and make it work with all text file types.
  (Ryan Ernst)

  (Ryan Ernst)

Release 4.10.4 [2015-03-03]

Bug fixes (12)
1. LUCENE-6019, LUCENE-6117: Remove -Dtests.assert to make IndexWriter infoStream sane.
  (Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
2. LUCENE-6161: Resolving deletes was failing to reuse DocsEnum likely causing substantial performance cost for use cases that frequently delete old documents
  (Mike McCandless)
3. LUCENE-6192: Fix int overflow corruption case in skip data for high frequency terms in extremely large indices
  (Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
4. LUCENE-6207: Fixed consumption of several terms enums on the same sorted (set) doc values instance at the same time.
  (Tom Shally, Robert Muir, Adrien Grand)
5. LUCENE-6093: Don't throw NullPointerException from BlendedInfixSuggester for lookups that do not end in a prefix token.
  (jane chang via Mike McCandless)
6. LUCENE-6279: Don't let an abusive leftover _N_upgraded.si in the index directory cause index corruption on upgrade
  (Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
7. LUCENE-6287: Fix concurrency bug in IndexWriter that could cause index corruption (missing _N.si files) the first time 4.x kisses a 3.x index if merges are also running.
  (Simon Willnauer, Mike McCandless)
8. LUCENE-6205: Fixed intermittent concurrency issue that could cause FileNotFoundException when writing doc values updates at the same time that a merge kicks off.
  (Mike McCandless)
9. LUCENE-6214: Fixed IndexWriter deadlock when one thread is committing while another opens a near-real-time reader and an unrecoverable (tragic) exception is hit.
  (Simon Willnauer, Mike McCandless)
10. LUCENE-6105: Don't cache FST root arcs if the number of root arcs is small, or if the cache would be > 20% of the size of the FST.
  (Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
11. LUCENE-6001: DrillSideways hits NullPointerException for certain BooleanQuery searches.
  (Dragan Jotannovic, jane chang via Mike McCandless)
12. LUCENE-6306: Merging of doc values and norms now checks whether the merge was aborted so IndexWriter.rollback can more promptly abort a running merge.
  (Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
API Changes (1)
1. LUCENE-6212: Deprecate IndexWriter APIs that accept per-document Analyzer. These methods were trappy as they made it easy to accidentally index tokens that were not easily searchable and will be removed in 5.0.0.
  (Mike McCandless)

Release 4.10.3 [2014-12-29]

Bug fixes (12)
1. LUCENE-6046: Add maxDeterminizedStates safety to determinize (which has an exponential worst case) so that if it would create too many states, it now throws an exception instead of exhausting CPU/RAM.
  (Nik Everett via Mike McCandless)
2. LUCENE-6054: Allow repeating the empty automaton
  (Nik Everett via Mike McCandless)
3. LUCENE-6049: Don't throw cryptic exception writing a segment when the only docs in it had fields that hit non-aborting exceptions during indexing but also had doc values.
  (Mike McCandless)
4. LUCENE-6060: Deprecate IndexWriter.unlock
  (Simon Willnauer, Mike McCandless)
5. LUCENE-3229: Overlapping ordered SpanNearQuery spans should not match.
  (Ludovic Boutros, Paul Elschot, Greg Dearing, ehatcher)
6. LUCENE-6004: Don't highlight the LookupResult.key returned from AnalyzingInfixSuggester
  (Christian Reuschling, jane chang via Mike McCandless)
7. LUCENE-6075: Don't overflow int in SimpleRateLimiter
  (Boaz Leskes via Mike McCandless)
8. LUCENE-5980: Don't let document length overflow.
  (Robert Muir)
9. LUCENE-6042: CustomScoreQuery explain was incorrect in some cases, such as when nested inside a boolean query.
  (Denis Lantsman via Robert Muir)
10. LUCENE-5948: RateLimiter now fully inits itself on init.
  (Varun Thacker via Mike McCandless)
11. LUCENE-6055: PayloadAttribute.clone() now does a deep clone of the underlying bytes.
  (Shai Erera)
12. LUCENE-6094: Allow IW.rollback to stop ConcurrentMergeScheduler even when it's stalling because there are too many merges.
  (Mike McCandless)
Documentation (1)
1. LUCENE-6057: Improve Sort(SortField) docs
  (Martin Braun via Mike McCandless)

Release 4.10.2 [2014-10-31]

Bug fixes (2)
1. LUCENE-5977: Fix tokenstream safety checks in IndexWriter to properly work across multi-valued fields. Previously some cases across multi-valued fields would happily create a corrupt index.
  (Dawid Weiss, Robert Muir)
2. LUCENE-6019: Detect when DocValuesType illegally changes for the same field name. Also added -Dtests.asserts=true|false so we can run tests with and without assertions.
  (Simon Willnauer, Robert Muir, Mike McCandless).

Release 4.10.1 [2014-09-29]

Bug fixes (7)
1. LUCENE-5934: Fix backwards compatibility for 4.0 indexes.
  (Ian Lea, Uwe Schindler, Robert Muir, Ryan Ernst)
2. LUCENE-5939: Regenerate old backcompat indexes to ensure they were built with the exact release
  (Ryan Ernst, Uwe Schindler)
3. LUCENE-5952: Improve error messages when version cannot be parsed; don't check for too old or too new major version (it's too low level to enforce here); use simple string tokenizer.
  (Ryan Ernst, Uwe Schindler, Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
4. LUCENE-5958: Don't let exceptions during checkpoint corrupt the index. Refactor existing OOM handling too, so you don't need to handle OOM special for every IndexWriter method: instead such disasters will cause IW to close itself defensively.
  (Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
5. LUCENE-5904: Fixed a corruption case that can happen when 1) IndexWriter is uncleanly shut-down (OS crash, power loss, etc.), 2) on startup, when a new IndexWriter is created, a virus checker is holding some of the previously written but unused files open and preventing deletion, 3) IndexWriter writes these files again during the course of indexing, then the files can later be deleted, causing corruption. This case was detected by adding evilness to MockDirectoryWrapper to have it simulate a virus checker holding a file open and preventing deletion
  (Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
6. LUCENE-5916: Static scope test components should be consistent between tests (and test iterations). Fix for FaultyIndexInput in particular.
  (Dawid Weiss)
7. LUCENE-5975: Fix reading of 3.0-3.3 indexes, where bugs in these old index formats would result in CorruptIndexException "did not read all bytes from file" when reading the deleted docs file.
  (Patrick Mi, Robert MUir)
Tests (1)
1. LUCENE-5936: Add backcompat checks to verify what is tested matches known versions
  (Ryan Ernst)

Release 4.10.0 [2014-09-03]

New Features (11)
1. LUCENE-5778: Support hunspell morphological description fields/aliases.
  (Robert Muir)
2. LUCENE-5801: Added (back) OrdinalMappingAtomicReader for merging search indexes that contain category ordinals from separate taxonomy indexes.
  (Nicola Buso via Shai Erera)
3. LUCENE-4175, LUCENE-5714, LUCENE-5779: Index and search rectangles with spatial BBoxSpatialStrategy using most predicates. Sort documents by relative overlap of query areas or just by indexed shape area.
  (Ryan McKinley, David Smiley)
4. LUCENE-5806: Extend expressions grammar to support array access in variables. Added helper class VariableContext to parse complex variable into pieces.
  (Ryan Ernst)
5. LUCENE-5826: Support proper hunspell case handling, LANG, KEEPCASE, NEEDAFFIX, and ONLYINCOMPOUND flags.
  (Robert Muir)
6. LUCENE-5815: Add TermAutomatonQuery, a proximity query allowing you to create an arbitrary automaton, using terms on the transitions, expressing which sequence of sequential terms (including a special "any" term) are allowed. This is a generalization of MultiPhraseQuery and span queries, and enables "correct" (including position) length search-time graph synonyms.
  (Mike McCandless)
7. LUCENE-5819: Add OrdsLucene41 block tree terms dict and postings format, to include term ordinals in the index so the optional TermsEnum.ord() and TermsEnum.seekExact(long ord) APIs work.
  (Mike McCandless)
8. LUCENE-5835: TermValComparator can sort missing values last.
  (Adrien Grand)
9. LUCENE-5825: Benchmark module can use custom postings format, e.g.: codec.postingsFormat=Memory
  (Varun Shenoy, David Smiley)
10. LUCENE-5842: When opening large files (where it's too expensive to compare checksum against all the bytes), retrieve checksum to validate structure of footer, this can detect some forms of corruption such as truncation.
  (Robert Muir)
11. LUCENE-5739: Added DataInput.readZ(Int|Long) and DataOutput.writeZ(Int|Long) to read and write small signed integers.
  (Adrien Grand)
API Changes (8)
1. LUCENE-5752: Simplified Automaton API to be immutable.
  (Mike McCandless)
2. LUCENE-5793: Add equals/hashCode to FieldType.
  (Shay Banon, Robert Muir)
3. LUCENE-5692: DisjointSpatialFilter is deprecated (used by RecursivePrefixTreeStrategy)
  (David Smiley)
4. LUCENE-5771: SpatialOperation's predicate names are now aliased to OGC standard names. Thus you can use: Disjoint, Equals, Intersects, Overlaps, Within, Contains, Covers, CoveredBy. The area requirement on the predicates was removed, and Overlaps' definition was fixed.
  (David Smiley)
5. LUCENE-5850: Made Version handling more robust and extensible. Deprecated Constants.LUCENE_MAIN_VERSION, Constants.LUCENE_VERSION and current Version constants of the form LUCENE_X_Y. Added version constants that include bugfix number of form LUCENE_X_Y_Z. Changed Version.LUCENE_CURRENT to Version.LATEST. CheckIndex now prints the Lucene version used to write each segment.
  (Ryan Ernst, Uwe Schindler, Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
6. LUCENE-5836: BytesRef has been splitted into BytesRef, whose intended usage is to be just a reference to a section of a larger byte[] and BytesRefBuilder which is a StringBuilder-like class for BytesRef instances.
  (Adrien Grand)
7. LUCENE-5883: You can now change the MergePolicy instance on a live IndexWriter, without first closing and reopening the writer. This allows to e.g. run a special merge with UpgradeIndexMergePolicy without reopening the writer. Also, MergePolicy no longer implements Closeable; if you need to release your custom MergePolicy's resources, you need to implement close() and call it explicitly.
  (Shai Erera)
8. LUCENE-5859: Deprecate Analyzer constructors taking Version. Use Analyzer.setVersion() to set the version an analyzer to replicate behavior from a specific release.
  (Ryan Ernst, Robert Muir)
Optimizations (14)
1. LUCENE-5780: Make OrdinalMap more memory-efficient, especially in case the first segment has all values.
  (Adrien Grand, Robert Muir)
2. LUCENE-5782: OrdinalMap now sorts enums before being built in order to improve compression.
  (Adrien Grand)
3. LUCENE-5798: Optimize MultiDocsEnum reuse.
  (Robert Muir)
4. LUCENE-5799: Optimize numeric docvalues merging.
  (Robert Muir)
5. LUCENE-5797: Optimize norms merging
  (Adrien Grand, Robert Muir)
6. LUCENE-5803: Add DelegatingAnalyzerWrapper, an optimized variant of AnalyzerWrapper that doesn't allow to wrap components or readers. This wrapper class is the base class of all analyzers that just delegate to another analyzer, e.g. per field name: PerFieldAnalyzerWrapper and Solr's schema support.
  (Shay Banon, Uwe Schindler, Robert Muir)
7. LUCENE-5795: MoreLikeThisQuery now only collects the top N terms instead of collecting all terms from the like text when building the query.
  (Alex Ksikes, Simon Willnauer)
8. LUCENE-5681: Fix RAMDirectory's IndexInput to not do double buffering on slices (causes useless data copying, especially on random access slices). This also improves slices of NRTCachingDirectory, because the cache is based on RAMDirectory. BufferedIndexInput.wrap() was marked with a warning in javadocs. It is almost always a better idea to implement slicing on your own!
  (Uwe Schindler, Robert Muir)
9. LUCENE-5834: Empty sorted set and numeric doc values are now singletons.
  (Adrien Grand)
10. LUCENE-5841: Improve performance of block tree terms dictionary when assigning terms to blocks.
  (Mike McCandless)
11. LUCENE-5856: Optimize Fixed/Open/LongBitSet to remove unnecessary AND.
  (Robert Muir)
12. LUCENE-5884: Optimize FST.ramBytesUsed.
  (Adrien Grand, Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
13. LUCENE-5882: Add Lucene410DocValuesFormat, with faster term lookups for SORTED/SORTED_SET fields.
  (Robert Muir)
14. LUCENE-5887: Remove WeakIdentityMap caching in AttributeFactory, AttributeSource, and VirtualMethod in favour of Java 7's ClassValue. Always use MethodHandles to create AttributeImpl classes.
  (Uwe Schindler)
Bug Fixes (9)
1. LUCENE-5796: Fixes the Scorer.getChildren() method for two combinations of BooleanQuery.
  (Terry Smith via Robert Muir)
2. LUCENE-5790: Fix compareTo in MutableValueDouble and MutableValueBool, this caused incorrect results when grouping on fields with missing values.
  (海老澤志信, hossman)
3. LUCENE-5817: Fix hunspell zero-affix handling: previously only zero-strips worked correctly.
  (Robert Muir)
4. LUCENE-5818, LUCENE-5823: Fix hunspell overgeneration for short strings that also match affixes, words are only stripped to a zero-length string if FULLSTRIP option is specified in the dictionary.
  (Robert Muir)
5. LUCENE-5824: Fix hunspell 'long' flag handling.
  (Robert Muir)
6. LUCENE-5838: Fix hunspell when the .aff file has over 64k affixes.
  (Robert Muir)
7. LUCENE-5869: Added restriction to positive values for maxExpansions in FuzzyQuery.
  (Ryan Ernst)
8. LUCENE-5672: IndexWriter.addIndexes() calls maybeMerge(), to ensure the index stays healthy. If you don't want merging use NoMergePolicy instead.
  (Robert Muir)
9. LUCENE-5908: Fix Lucene43NGramTokenizer to be final
Test Framework (2)
1. LUCENE-5786: Unflushed/ truncated events file (hung testing subprocess).
  (Dawid Weiss)
2. LUCENE-5881: Add "beasting" of tests: repeats the whole "test" Ant target N times with "ant beast -Dbeast.iters=N".
  (Uwe Schindler, Robert Muir, Ryan Ernst, Dawid Weiss)
Build (2)
1. LUCENE-5770: Upgrade to JFlex 1.6, which has direct support for supplementary code points - as a result, ICU4J is no longer used to generate surrogate pairs to augment JFlex scanner specifications.
  (Steve Rowe)
2. SOLR-6358: Remove VcsDirectoryMappings from idea configuration vcs.xml
  (Ramkumar Aiyengar via Steve Rowe)

Release 4.9.1 [2014-09-22]

Bug fixes (7)
1. LUCENE-5907: Fix corruption case when opening a pre-4.x index with IndexWriter, then opening an NRT reader from that writer, then calling commit from the writer, then closing the NRT reader. This case would remove the wrong files from the index leading to a corrupt index.
  (Mike McCandless)
2. LUCENE-5919: Fix exception handling inside IndexWriter when deleteFile throws an exception, to not over-decRef index files, possibly deleting a file that's still in use in the index, leading to corruption.
  (Mike McCandless)
3. LUCENE-5922: DocValuesDocIdSet on 5.x and FieldCacheDocIdSet on 4.x are not cacheable.
  (Adrien Grand)
4. LUCENE-5843: Added IndexWriter.MAX_DOCS which is the maximum number of documents allowed in a single index, and any operations that add documents will now throw IllegalStateException if the max count would be exceeded, instead of silently creating an unusable index.
  (Mike McCandless)
5. LUCENE-5844: ArrayUtil.grow/oversize now returns a maximum of Integer.MAX_VALUE - 8 for the maximum array size.
  (Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
6. LUCENE-5827: Make all Directory implementations correctly fail with IllegalArgumentException if slices are out of bounds.
  (Uwe Schindler)
7. LUCENE-5897, LUCENE-5400: JFlex-based tokenizers StandardTokenizer and UAX29URLEmailTokenizer tokenize extremely slowly over long sequences of text partially matching certain grammar rules. The scanner default buffer size was reduced, and scanner buffer growth was disabled, resulting in much, much faster tokenization for these text sequences.
  (Chris Geeringh, Robert Muir, Steve Rowe)

Release 4.9.0 [2014-06-25]

Changes in Runtime Behavior (2)
1. LUCENE-5611: Changing the term vector options for multiple field instances by the same name in one document is not longer accepted; IndexWriter will now throw IllegalArgumentException.
  (Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
2. LUCENE-5646: Remove rare/undertested bulk merge algorithm in CompressingStoredFieldsWriter.
  (Robert Muir, Adrien Grand)
New Features (8)
1. LUCENE-5610: Add Terms.getMin and Terms.getMax to get the lowest and highest terms, and NumericUtils.get{Min/Max}{Int/Long} to get the minimum numeric values from the provided Terms.
  (Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
2. LUCENE-5675: Add IDVersionPostingsFormat, a postings format optimized for primary-key (ID) fields that also record a version (long) for each ID.
  (Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
3. LUCENE-5680: Add ability to atomically update a set of DocValues fields.
  (Shai Erera)
4. LUCENE-5717: Add support for multiterm queries nested inside filtered and constant-score queries to postings highlighter.
  (Luca Cavanna via Robert Muir)
5. LUCENE-5731, LUCENE-5760: Add RandomAccessInput, a random access API for directory. Add DirectReader/Writer, optimized for reading packed integers directly from Directory. Add Lucene49Codec and Lucene49DocValuesFormat that make use of these.
  (Robert Muir)
6. LUCENE-5743: Add Lucene49NormsFormat, which can compress in some cases such as very short fields.
  (Ryan Ernst, Adrien Grand, Robert Muir)
7. LUCENE-5748: Add SORTED_NUMERIC docvalues type, which is efficient for processing numeric fields with multiple values.
  (Robert Muir)
8. LUCENE-5754: Allow "$" as part of variable and function names in expressions module.
  (Uwe Schindler)
Changes in Backwards Compatibility Policy (4)
1. LUCENE-5634: Add reuse argument to IndexableField.tokenStream. This can be used by custom fieldtypes, which don't use the Analyzer, but implement their own TokenStream.
  (Uwe Schindler, Robert Muir)
2. LUCENE-5640: AttributeSource.AttributeFactory was moved to a top-level class: org.apache.lucene.util.AttributeFactory
  (Uwe Schindler, Robert Muir)
3. LUCENE-4371: Removed IndexInputSlicer and Directory.createSlicer() and replaced with IndexInput.slice().
  (Robert Muir)
4. LUCENE-5727, LUCENE-5678: Remove IndexOutput.seek, IndexOutput.setLength().
  (Robert Muir, Uwe Schindler)
API Changes (20)
1. LUCENE-5756: IndexWriter now implements Accountable and IW#ramSizeInBytes() has been deprecated in favor of IW#ramBytesUsed()
  (Simon Willnauer)
2. LUCENE-5725: MoreLikeThis#like now accepts multiple values per field. The pre-existing method has been deprecated in favor of a variable arguments for the like text.
  (Alex Ksikes via Simon Willnauer)
3. LUCENE-5711: MergePolicy accepts an IndexWriter instance on each method rather than holding state against a single IndexWriter instance.
  (Simon Willnauer)
4. LUCENE-5582: Deprecate IndexOutput.length (just use IndexOutput.getFilePointer instead) and IndexOutput.setLength.
  (Mike McCandless)
5. LUCENE-5621: Deprecate IndexOutput.flush: this is not used by Lucene.
  (Robert Muir)
6. LUCENE-5611: Simplified Lucene's default indexing chain / APIs. AttributeSource/TokenStream.getAttribute now returns null if the attribute is not present (previously it threw IllegalArgumentException). StoredFieldsWriter.startDocument no longer receives the number of fields that will be added
  (Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
7. LUCENE-5632: In preparation for coming Lucene versions, the Version enum constants were renamed to make them better readable. The constant for Lucene 4.9 is now "LUCENE_4_9". Version.parseLeniently() is still able to parse the old strings ("LUCENE_49"). The old identifiers got deprecated and will be removed in Lucene 5.0.
  (Uwe Schindler, Robert Muir)
8. LUCENE-5633: Change NoMergePolicy to a singleton with no distinction between compound and non-compound types.
  (Shai Erera)
9. LUCENE-5640: The Token class was deprecated. Since Lucene 2.9, TokenStreams are using Attributes, Token is no longer used.
  (Uwe Schindler, Robert Muir)
10. LUCENE-5679: Consolidated IndexWriter.deleteDocuments(Term) and IndexWriter.deleteDocuments(Query) with their varargs counterparts.
  (Shai Erera)
11. LUCENE-5701: Core closed listeners are now available in the AtomicReader API, they used to sit only in SegmentReader.
  (Adrien Grand, Robert Muir)
12. LUCENE-5706: Removed the option to unset a DocValues field through DocValues updates.
  (Shai Erera)
13. LUCENE-5700: Added oal.util.Accountable that is now implemented by all classes whose memory usage can be estimated.
  (Robert Muir, Adrien Grand)
14. LUCENE-5708: Remove IndexWriterConfig.clone, so now IndexWriter simply uses the IndexWriterConfig you pass it, and you must create a new IndexWriterConfig for each IndexWriter.
  (Mike McCandless)
15. LUCENE-5678: IndexOutput no longer allows seeking, so it is no longer required to use RandomAccessFile to write Indexes. Lucene now uses standard FileOutputStream wrapped with OutputStreamIndexOutput to write index data. BufferedIndexOutput was removed, because buffering and checksumming is provided by FilterOutputStreams, provided by the JDK.
  (Uwe Schindler, Mike McCandless)
16. LUCENE-5703: BinaryDocValues API changed to work like TermsEnum and not allocate/ copy bytes on each access, you are responsible for cloning if you want to keep data around.
  (Adrien Grand)
17. LUCENE-5695: DocIdSet implements Accountable.
  (Adrien Grand)
18. LUCENE-5757: Moved RamUsageEstimator's reflection-based processing to RamUsageTester in the test-framework module.
  (Robert Muir)
19. LUCENE-5761: Removed DiskDocValuesFormat, it was very inefficient and saved very little RAM over the default codec.
  (Robert Muir)
20. LUCENE-5775: Deprecate JaspellLookup.
  (Mike McCandless)
Optimizations (18)
1. LUCENE-5603: hunspell stemmer more efficiently strips prefixes and suffixes.
  (Robert Muir)
2. LUCENE-5599: HttpReplicator did not properly delegate bulk read() to wrapped InputStream.
  (Christoph Kaser via Shai Erera)
3. LUCENE-5591: pass an IOContext with estimated flush size when applying DV updates.
  (Shai Erera)
4. LUCENE-5634: IndexWriter reuses TokenStream instances for String and Numeric fields by default.
  (Uwe Schindler, Shay Banon, Mike McCandless, Robert Muir)
5. LUCENE-5638, LUCENE-5640: TokenStream uses a more performant AttributeFactory by default, that packs the core attributes into one implementation (PackedTokenAttributeImpl), for faster clearAttributes(), saveState(), and restoreState(). In addition, AttributeFactory uses Java 7 MethodHandles for instantiating Attribute implementations.
  (Uwe Schindler, Robert Muir)
6. LUCENE-5609: Changed the default NumericField precisionStep from 4 to 8 (for int/float) and 16 (for long/double), for faster indexing time and smaller indices.
  (Robert Muir, Uwe Schindler, Mike McCandless)
7. LUCENE-5670: Add skip/FinalOutput to FST Outputs.
  (Christian Ziech via Mike McCandless).
8. LUCENE-4236: Optimize BooleanQuery's in-order scoring. This speeds up some types of boolean queries.
  (Robert Muir)
9. LUCENE-5694: Don't score() subscorers in DisjunctionSumScorer or DisjunctionMaxScorer unless score() is called.
  (Robert Muir)
10. LUCENE-5720: Optimize DirectPackedReader's decompression.
  (Robert Muir)
11. LUCENE-5722: Optimize ByteBufferIndexInput#seek() by specializing implementations. This improves random access as used by docvalues codecs if used with MMapDirectory.
  (Robert Muir, Uwe Schindler)
12. LUCENE-5730: FSDirectory.open returns MMapDirectory for 64-bit operating systems, not just Linux and Windows.
  (Robert Muir)
13. LUCENE-5703: BinaryDocValues producers don't allocate or copy bytes on each access anymore.
  (Adrien Grand)
14. LUCENE-5721: Monotonic compression doesn't use zig-zag encoding anymore.
  (Robert Muir, Adrien Grand)
15. LUCENE-5750: Speed up monotonic addressing for BINARY and SORTED_SET docvalues.
  (Robert Muir)
16. LUCENE-5751: Speed up MemoryDocValues.
  (Adrien Grand, Robert Muir)
17. LUCENE-5767: OrdinalMap optimizations, that mostly help on low cardinalities.
  (Martijn van Groningen, Adrien Grand)
18. LUCENE-5769: SingletonSortedSetDocValues now supports random access ordinals.
  (Robert Muir)
Bug fixes (11)
1. LUCENE-5738: Ensure NativeFSLock prevents opening the file channel for the lock if the lock is already obtained by the JVM. Trying to obtain an already obtained lock in the same JVM can unlock the file might allow other processes to lock the file even without explicitly unlocking the FileLock. This behavior is operating system dependent.
  (Simon Willnauer)
2. LUCENE-5673: MMapDirectory: Work around a "bug" in the JDK that throws a confusing OutOfMemoryError wrapped inside IOException if the FileChannel mapping failed because of lack of virtual address space. The IOException is rethrown with more useful information about the problem, omitting the incorrect OutOfMemoryError.
  (Robert Muir, Uwe Schindler)
3. LUCENE-5682: NPE in QueryRescorer when Scorer is null
  (Joel Bernstein, Mike McCandless)
4. LUCENE-5691: DocTermOrds lookupTerm(BytesRef) would return incorrect results if the underlying TermsEnum supports ord() and the insertion point would be at the end.
  (Robert Muir)
5. LUCENE-5618, LUCENE-5636: SegmentReader referenced unneeded files following doc-values updates. Now doc-values field updates are written in separate file per field.
  (Shai Erera, Robert Muir)
6. LUCENE-5684: Make best effort to detect invalid usage of Lucene, when IndexReader is reopened after all files in its index were removed and recreated by the application (the proper way to do this is IndexWriter.deleteAll, or opening an IndexWriter with OpenMode.CREATE)
  (Mike McCandless)
7. LUCENE-5704: Fix compilation error with Java 8u20.
  (Uwe Schindler)
8. LUCENE-5710: Include the inner exception as the cause and in the exception message when an immense term is hit during indexing
  (Lee Hinman via Mike McCandless)
9. LUCENE-5724: CompoundFileWriter was failing to pass through the IOContext in some cases, causing NRTCachingDirectory to cache compound files when it shouldn't, then causing OOMEs.
  (Mike McCandless)
10. LUCENE-5747: Project-specific settings for the eclipse development environment will prevent automatic code reformatting.
  (Shawn Heisey)
11. LUCENE-5768, LUCENE-5777: Hunspell condition checks containing character classes were buggy.
  (Clinton Gormley, Robert Muir)
Test Framework (2)
1. LUCENE-5622: Fail tests if they print over the given limit of bytes to System.out or System.err.
  (Robert Muir, Dawid Weiss)
2. LUCENE-5619: Added backwards compatibility tests to ensure we can update existing indexes with doc-values updates.
  (Shai Erera, Robert Muir)
Build (2)
1. LUCENE-5442: The Ant check-lib-versions target now runs Ivy resolution transitively, then fails the build when it finds a version conflict: when a transitive dependency's version is more recent than the direct dependency's version specified in lucene/ivy-versions.properties. Exceptions are specifiable in lucene/ivy-ignore-conflicts.properties.
  (Steve Rowe)
2. LUCENE-5715: Upgrade direct dependencies known to be older than transitive dependencies: com.sun.jersey.version:1.8->1.9; com.sun.xml.bind:jaxb-impl:2.2.2->2.2.3-1; commons-beanutils:commons-beanutils:1.7.0->1.8.3; commons-digester:commons-digester:2.0->2.1; commons-io:commons-io:2.1->2.3; commons-logging:commons-logging:1.1.1->1.1.3; io.netty:netty:3.6.2.Final->3.7.0.Final; javax.activation:activation:1.1->1.1.1; javax.mail:mail:1.4.1->1.4.3; log4j:log4j:1.2.16->1.2.17; org.apache.avro:avro:1.7.4->1.7.5; org.tukaani:xz:1.2->1.4; org.xerial.snappy:snappy-java:1.0.4.1->1.0.5
  (Steve Rowe)

Release 4.8.1 [2014-05-20]

Bug fixes (15)
1. LUCENE-5639: Fix PositionLengthAttribute implementation in Token class.
  (Uwe Schindler, Robert Muir)
2. LUCENE-5635: IndexWriter didn't properly handle IOException on TokenStream.reset(), which could leave the analyzer in an inconsistent state.
  (Robert Muir)
3. LUCENE-5599: HttpReplicator did not properly delegate bulk read() to wrapped InputStream.
  (Christoph Kaser via Shai Erera)
4. LUCENE-5600: HttpClientBase did not properly consume a connection if a server error occurred.
  (Christoph Kaser via Shai Erera)
5. LUCENE-5628: Change getFiniteStrings to iterative not recursive implementation, so that building suggesters on a long suggestion doesn't risk overflowing the stack; previously it consumed one Java stack frame per character in the expanded suggestion. If you are building a suggester this is a nasty trap.
  (Robert Muir, Simon Willnauer, Mike McCandless).
6. LUCENE-5559: Add additional argument validation for CapitalizationFilter and CodepointCountFilter.
  (Ahmet Arslan via Robert Muir)
7. LUCENE-5641: SimpleRateLimiter would silently rate limit at 8 MB/sec even if you asked for higher rates.
  (Mike McCandless)
8. LUCENE-5644: IndexWriter clears which threads use which internal thread states on flush, so that if an application reduces how many threads it uses for indexing, that results in a reduction of how many segments are flushed on a full-flush (e.g. to obtain a near-real-time reader).
  (Simon Willnauer, Mike McCandless)
9. LUCENE-5653: JoinUtil with ScoreMode.Avg on a multi-valued field with more than 256 values would throw exception.
  (Mikhail Khludnev via Robert Muir)
10. LUCENE-5654: Fix various close() methods that could suppress throwables such as OutOfMemoryError, instead returning scary messages that look like index corruption.
  (Mike McCandless, Robert Muir)
11. LUCENE-5656: Fix rare fd leak in SegmentReader when multiple docvalues fields have been updated with IndexWriter.updateXXXDocValue and one hits exception.
  (Shai Erera, Robert Muir)
12. LUCENE-5660: AnalyzingSuggester.build will now throw IllegalArgumentException if you give it a longer suggestion than it can handle
  (Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
13. LUCENE-5662: Add missing checks to Field to prevent IndexWriter.abort if a stored value is null.
  (Robert Muir)
14. LUCENE-5668: Fix off-by-one in TieredMergePolicy
  (Mike McCandless)
15. LUCENE-5671: Upgrade ICU version to fix an ICU concurrency problem that could cause exceptions when indexing.
  (feedly team, Robert Muir)

Release 4.8.0 [2014-04-28]

System Requirements (1)
1. LUCENE-4747, LUCENE-5514: Move to Java 7 as minimum Java version.
  (Robert Muir, Uwe Schindler)
Changes in Runtime Behavior (1)
1. LUCENE-5472: IndexWriter.addDocument will now throw an IllegalArgumentException if a Term to be indexed exceeds IndexWriter.MAX_TERM_LENGTH. To recreate previous behavior of silently ignoring these terms, use LengthFilter in your Analyzer.
  (hossman, Mike McCandless, Varun Thacker)
New Features (24)
1. LUCENE-5356: Morfologik filter can accept custom dictionary resources.
  (Michal Hlavac, Dawid Weiss)
2. LUCENE-5454: Add SortedSetSortField to lucene/sandbox, to allow sorting on multi-valued field.
  (Robert Muir)
3. LUCENE-5478: CommonTermsQuery now allows to create custom term queries similar to the query parser by overriding a newTermQuery method.
  (Simon Willnauer)
4. LUCENE-5477: AnalyzingInfixSuggester now supports near-real-time additions and updates (to change weight or payload of an existing suggestion).
  (Mike McCandless)
5. LUCENE-5482: Improve default TurkishAnalyzer by adding apostrophe handling suitable for Turkish.
  (Ahmet Arslan via Robert Muir)
6. LUCENE-5479: FacetsConfig subclass can now customize the default per-dim facets configuration.
  (Rob Audenaerde via Mike McCandless)
7. LUCENE-5485: Add circumfix support to HunspellStemFilter.
  (Robert Muir)
8. LUCENE-5224: Add iconv, oconv, and ignore support to HunspellStemFilter.
  (Robert Muir)
9. LUCENE-5493: SortingMergePolicy, and EarlyTerminatingSortingCollector support arbitrary Sort specifications.
  (Robert Muir, Mike McCandless, Adrien Grand)
10. LUCENE-3758: Allow the ComplexPhraseQueryParser to search order or un-order proximity queries.
  (Ahmet Arslan via Erick Erickson)
11. LUCENE-5530: ComplexPhraseQueryParser throws ParseException for fielded queries.
  (Erick Erickson via Tomas Fernandez Lobbe and Ahmet Arslan)
12. LUCENE-5513: Add IndexWriter.updateBinaryDocValue which lets you update the value of a BinaryDocValuesField without reindexing the document(s).
  (Shai Erera)
13. LUCENE-4072: Add ICUNormalizer2CharFilter, which lets you do unicode normalization with offset correction before the tokenizer.
  (David Goldfarb, Ippei UKAI via Robert Muir)
14. LUCENE-5476: Add RandomSamplingFacetsCollector for computing facets on a sampled set of matching hits, in cases where there are millions of hits.
  (Rob Audenaerde, Gilad Barkai, Shai Erera)
15. LUCENE-4984: Add SegmentingTokenizerBase, abstract class for tokenizers that want to do two-pass tokenization such as by sentence and then by word.
  (Robert Muir)
16. LUCENE-5489: Add Rescorer/QueryRescorer, to resort the hits from a first pass search using scores from a more costly second pass search.
  (Simon Willnauer, Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
17. LUCENE-5528: Add context to suggesters (InputIterator and Lookup classes), and fix AnalyzingInfixSuggester to handle contexts. Suggester contexts allow you to filter suggestions.
  (Areek Zillur, Mike McCandless)
18. LUCENE-5545: Add SortRescorer and Expression.getRescorer, to resort the hits from a first pass search using a Sort or an Expression.
  (Simon Willnauer, Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
19. LUCENE-5558: Add TruncateTokenFilter which truncates terms to the specified length.
  (Ahmet Arslan via Robert Muir)
20. LUCENE-2446: Added checksums to lucene index files. As of 4.8, the last 8 bytes of each file contain a zlib-crc32 checksum. Small metadata files are verified on load. Larger files can be checked on demand via AtomicReader.checkIntegrity. You can configure this to happen automatically before merges by enabling IndexWriterConfig.setCheckIntegrityAtMerge.
  (Robert Muir)
21. LUCENE-5580: Checksums are automatically verified on the default stored fields format when performing a bulk merge.
  (Adrien Grand)
22. LUCENE-5602: Checksums are automatically verified on the default term vectors format when performing a bulk merge.
  (Adrien Grand, Robert Muir)
23. LUCENE-5583: Added DataInput.skipBytes. ChecksumIndexInput can now seek, but only forward.
  (Adrien Grand, Mike McCandless, Simon Willnauer, Uwe Schindler)
24. LUCENE-5588: Lucene now calls fsync() on the index directory, ensuring that all file metadata is persisted on disk in case of power failure. This does not work on all file systems and operating systems, but Linux and MacOSX are known to work. On Windows, fsyncing a directory is not possible with Java APIs.
  (Mike McCandless, Uwe Schindler)
API Changes (10)
1. LUCENE-5454: Add RandomAccessOrds, an optional extension of SortedSetDocValues that supports random access to the ordinals in a document.
  (Robert Muir)
2. LUCENE-5468: Move offline Sort (from suggest module) to OfflineSort.
  (Robert Muir)
3. LUCENE-5493: SortingMergePolicy and EarlyTerminatingSortingCollector take Sort instead of Sorter. BlockJoinSorter is removed, replaced with BlockJoinComparatorSource, which can take a Sort for ordering of parents and a separate Sort for ordering of children within a block.
  (Robert Muir, Mike McCandless, Adrien Grand)
4. LUCENE-5516: MergeScheduler#merge() now accepts a MergeTrigger as well as a boolean that indicates if a new merge was found in the caller thread before the scheduler was called.
  (Simon Willnauer)
5. LUCENE-5487: Separated bulk scorer (new Weight.bulkScorer method) from normal scoring (Weight.scorer) for those queries that can do bulk scoring more efficiently, e.g. BooleanQuery in some cases. This also simplified the Weight.scorer API by removing the two confusing booleans.
  (Robert Muir, Uwe Schindler, Mike McCandless)
6. LUCENE-5519: TopNSearcher now allows to retrieve incomplete results if the max size of the candidate queue is unknown. The queue can still be bound in order to apply pruning while retrieving the top N but will not throw an exception if too many results are rejected to guarantee an absolutely correct top N result. The TopNSearcher now returns a struct like class that indicates if the result is complete in the sense of the top N or not. Consumers of this API should assert on the completeness if the bounded queue size is know ahead of time.
  (Simon Willnauer)
7. LUCENE-4984: Deprecate ThaiWordFilter and smartcn SentenceTokenizer and WordTokenFilter. These filters would not work correctly with CharFilters and could not be safely placed at an arbitrary position in the analysis chain. Use ThaiTokenizer and HMMChineseTokenizer instead.
  (Robert Muir)
8. LUCENE-5543: Remove/deprecate Directory.fileExists
  (Mike McCandless)
9. LUCENE-5573: Move docvalues constants and helper methods to o.a.l.index.DocValues.
  (Dawid Weiss, Robert Muir)
10. LUCENE-5604: Switched BytesRef.hashCode to MurmurHash3 (32 bit). TermToBytesRefAttribute.fillBytesRef no longer returns the hash code. BytesRefHash now uses MurmurHash3 for its hashing.
  (Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
Optimizations (4)
1. LUCENE-5468: HunspellStemFilter uses 10 to 100x less RAM. It also loads all known openoffice dictionaries without error, and supports an additional longestOnly option for a less aggressive approach.
  (Robert Muir)
2. LUCENE-4848: Use Java 7 NIO2-FileChannel instead of RandomAccessFile for NIOFSDirectory and MMapDirectory. This allows to delete open files on Windows if NIOFSDirectory is used, mmapped files are still locked.
  (Michael Poindexter, Robert Muir, Uwe Schindler)
3. LUCENE-5515: Improved TopDocs#merge to create a merged ScoreDoc array with length of at most equal to the specified size instead of length equal to at most from + size as was before.
  (Martijn van Groningen)
4. LUCENE-5529: Spatial search of non-point indexed shapes should be a little faster due to skipping intersection tests on redundant cells.
  (David Smiley)
Bug fixes (14)
1. LUCENE-5483: Fix inaccuracies in HunspellStemFilter. Multi-stage affix-stripping, prefix-suffix dependencies, and COMPLEXPREFIXES now work correctly according to the hunspell algorithm. Removed recursionCap parameter, as it's no longer needed, rules for recursive affix application are driven correctly by continuation classes in the affix file.
  (Robert Muir)
2. LUCENE-5497: HunspellStemFilter properly handles escaped terms and affixes without conditions.
  (Robert Muir)
3. LUCENE-5505: HunspellStemFilter ignores BOM markers in dictionaries and handles varying types of whitespace in SET/FLAG commands.
  (Robert Muir)
4. LUCENE-5507: Fix HunspellStemFilter loading of dictionaries with large amounts of aliases etc before the encoding declaration.
  (Robert Muir)
5. LUCENE-5111: Fix WordDelimiterFilter to return offsets in correct order.
  (Robert Muir)
6. LUCENE-5555: Fix SortedInputIterator to correctly encode/decode contexts in presence of payload
  (Areek Zillur)
7. LUCENE-5559: Add missing argument checks to tokenfilters taking numeric arguments.
  (Ahmet Arslan via Robert Muir)
8. LUCENE-5568: Benchmark module's "default.codec" option didn't work.
  (David Smiley)
9. SOLR-5983: HTMLStripCharFilter is treating CDATA sections incorrectly.
  (Dan Funk, Steve Rowe)
10. LUCENE-5615: Validate per-segment delete counts at write time, to help catch bugs that might otherwise cause corruption
  (Mike McCandless)
11. LUCENE-5612: NativeFSLockFactory no longer deletes its lock file. This cannot be done safely without the risk of deleting someone else's lock file. If you use NativeFSLockFactory, you may see write.lock hanging around from time to time: it's harmless.
  (Uwe Schindler, Mike McCandless, Robert Muir)
12. LUCENE-5624: Ensure NativeFSLockFactory does not leak file handles if it is unable to obtain the lock.
  (Uwe Schindler, Robert Muir)
13. LUCENE-5626: Fix bug in SimpleFSLockFactory's obtain() that sometimes throwed IOException (ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED) on Windows if the lock file was created concurrently. This error is now handled the same way like in NativeFSLockFactory by returning false.
  (Uwe Schindler, Robert Muir, Dawid Weiss)
14. LUCENE-5630: Add missing META-INF entry for UpperCaseFilterFactory.
  (Robert Muir)
Tests (1)
1. LUCENE-5630: Fix TestAllAnalyzersHaveFactories to correctly check for existence of class and corresponding Map<String,String> ctor.
  (Uwe Schindler, Robert Muir)
Test Framework (5)
1. LUCENE-5592: Incorrectly reported uncloseable files.
  (Dawid Weiss)
2. LUCENE-5577: Temporary folder and file management (and cleanup facilities)
  (Mark Miller, Uwe Schindler, Dawid Weiss)
3. LUCENE-5567: When a suite fails with zombie threads failure marker and count is not propagated properly.
  (Dawid Weiss)
4. LUCENE-5449: Rename _TestUtil and _TestHelper to remove the leading _.
5. LUCENE-5501: Added random out-of-order collection testing (when the collector supports it) to AssertingIndexSearcher.
  (Adrien Grand)
Build (4)
1. LUCENE-5463: RamUsageEstimator.(human)sizeOf(Object) is now a forbidden API.
  (Adrien Grand, Robert Muir)
2. LUCENE-5512: Remove redundant typing (use diamond operator) throughout the codebase.
  (Furkan KAMACI via Robert Muir)
3. LUCENE-5614: Enable building on Java 8 using Apache Ant 1.8.3 or 1.8.4 by adding a workaround for the Ant bug.
  (Uwe Schindler)
4. LUCENE-5612: Add a new Ant target in lucene/core to test LockFactory implementations: "ant test-lock-factory".
  (Uwe Schindler, Mike McCandless, Robert Muir)
Documentation (1)
1. LUCENE-5534: Add javadocs to GreekStemmer methods.
  (Stamatis Pitsios via Robert Muir)

Release 4.7.2 [2014-04-15]

Bug Fixes (2)
1. LUCENE-5574: Closing a near-real-time reader no longer attempts to delete unreferenced files if the original writer has been closed; this could cause index corruption in certain cases where index files were directly changed (deleted, overwritten, etc.) in the index directory outside of Lucene.
  (Simon Willnauer, Shai Erera, Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
2. LUCENE-5570: Don't let FSDirectory.sync() create new zero-byte files, instead throw exception if a file is missing.
  (Uwe Schindler, Mike McCandless, Robert Muir)

Release 4.7.1 [2014-04-02]

Changes in Runtime Behavior (1)
1. LUCENE-5532: AutomatonQuery.equals is no longer implemented as "accepts same language". This was inconsistent with hashCode, and unnecessary for any subclasses in Lucene. If you desire this in a custom subclass, minimize the automaton.
  (Robert Muir)
Bug Fixes (14)
1. LUCENE-5450: Fix getField() NPE issues with SpanOr/SpanNear when they have an empty list of clauses. This can happen for example, when a wildcard matches no terms.
  (Tim Allison via Robert Muir)
2. LUCENE-5473: Throw IllegalArgumentException, not NullPointerException, if the synonym map is empty when creating SynonymFilter
  (帅广应 via Mike McCandless)
3. LUCENE-5432: EliasFanoDocIdSet: Fix number of index entry bits when the maximum entry is a power of 2.
  (Paul Elschot via Adrien Grand)
4. LUCENE-5466: query is always null in countDocsWithClass() of SimpleNaiveBayesClassifier.
  (Koji Sekiguchi)
5. LUCENE-5502: Fixed TermsFilter.equals that could return true for different filters.
  (Igor Motov via Adrien Grand)
6. LUCENE-5522: FacetsConfig didn't add drill-down terms for association facet fields labels.
  (Shai Erera)
7. LUCENE-5520: ToChildBlockJoinQuery would hit ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException if a parent document had no children
  (Sally Ang via Mike McCandless)
8. LUCENE-5532: AutomatonQuery.hashCode was not thread-safe.
  (Robert Muir)
9. LUCENE-5525: Implement MultiFacets.getAllDims, so you can do sparse facets through DrillSideways, for example.
  (Jose Peleteiro, Mike McCandless)
10. LUCENE-5481: IndexWriter.forceMerge used to run a merge even if there was a single segment in the index.
  (Adrien Grand, Mike McCandless)
11. LUCENE-5538: Fix FastVectorHighlighter bug with index-time synonyms when the query is more complex than a single phrase.
  (Robert Muir)
12. LUCENE-5544: Exceptions during IndexWriter.rollback could leak file handles and the write lock.
  (Robert Muir)
13. LUCENE-4978: Spatial RecursivePrefixTree queries could result in false-negatives for indexed shapes within 1/2 maxDistErr from the edge of the query shape. This meant searching for a point by the same point as a query rarely worked.
  (David Smiley)
14. LUCENE-5553: IndexReader#ReaderClosedListener is not always invoked when IndexReader#close() is called or if refCount is 0. If an exception is thrown during internal close or on any of the close listeners some or all listeners might be missed. This can cause memory leaks if the core listeners are used to clear caches.
  (Simon Willnauer)
Build (1)
1. LUCENE-5511: "ant precommit" / "ant check-svn-working-copy" now work again with any working copy format (thanks to svnkit 1.8.4).
  (Uwe Schindler)

Release 4.7.0 [2014-02-26]

New Features (25)
1. LUCENE-5336: Add SimpleQueryParser: parser for human-entered queries.
  (Jack Conradson via Robert Muir)
2. LUCENE-5337: Add Payload support to FileDictionary (Suggest) and make it more configurable
  (Areek Zillur via Erick Erickson)
3. LUCENE-5329: suggest: DocumentDictionary and DocumentExpressionDictionary are now lenient for dirty documents (missing the term, weight or payload).
  (Areek Zillur via Mike McCandless)
4. LUCENE-5404: Add .getCount method to all suggesters (Lookup); persist count metadata on .store(); Dictionary returns InputIterator; Dictionary.getWordIterator renamed to .getEntryIterator.
  (Areek Zillur)
5. SOLR-1871: The RangeMapFloatFunction accepts an arbitrary ValueSource as target and default values.
  (Chris Harris, shalin)
6. LUCENE-5371: Speed up Lucene range faceting from O(N) per hit to O(log(N)) per hit using segment trees; this only really starts to matter in practice if the number of ranges is over 10 or so.
  (Mike McCandless)
7. LUCENE-5379: Add Analyzer for Kurdish.
  (Robert Muir)
8. LUCENE-5369: Added an UpperCaseFilter to make UPPERCASE tokens.
  (ryan)
9. LUCENE-5345: Add a new BlendedInfixSuggester, which is like AnalyzingInfixSuggester but boosts suggestions that matched tokens with lower positions.
  (Remi Melisson via Mike McCandless)
10. LUCENE-5399: When sorting by String (SortField.STRING), you can now specify whether missing values should be sorted first (the default), using SortField.setMissingValue(SortField.STRING_FIRST), or last, using SortField.setMissingValue(SortField.STRING_LAST).
  (Rob Muir, Mike McCandless)
11. LUCENE-5099: QueryNode should have the ability to detach from its node parent. Added QueryNode.removeFromParent() that allows nodes to be detached from its parent node.
  (Adriano Crestani)
12. LUCENE-5395 LUCENE-5451: Upgrade to Spatial4j 0.4.1: Parses WKT (including ENVELOPE) with extension "BUFFER"; buffering a point results in a Circle. JTS isn't needed for WKT any more but remains required for Polygons. New Shapes: ShapeCollection and BufferedLineString. Various other improvements and bug fixes too. More info: https://github.com/spatial4j/spatial4j/blob/master/CHANGES.md
  (David Smiley)
13. LUCENE-5415: Add multitermquery (wildcards,prefix,etc) to PostingsHighlighter.
  (Mike McCandless, Robert Muir)
14. LUCENE-3069: Add two memory resident dictionaries (FST terms dictionary and FSTOrd terms dictionary) to improve primary key lookups. The PostingsBaseFormat API is also changed so that term dictionaries get the ability to block encode term metadata, and all dictionary implementations can now plug in any PostingsBaseFormat.
  (Han Jiang, Mike McCandless)
15. LUCENE-5353: ShingleFilter's filler token should be configurable.
  (Ahmet Arslan, Simon Willnauer, Steve Rowe)
16. LUCENE-5320: Add SearcherTaxonomyManager over search and taxonomy index directories (i.e. not only NRT).
  (Shai Erera)
17. LUCENE-5410: Add fuzzy and near support via '~' operator to SimpleQueryParser.
  (Lee Hinman via Robert Muir)
18. LUCENE-5426: Make SortedSetDocValuesReaderState abstract to allow custom implementations for Lucene doc values faceting
  (John Wang via Mike McCandless)
19. LUCENE-5434: NRT support for file systems that do no have delete on last close or cannot delete while referenced semantics.
  (Mark Miller, Mike McCandless)
20. LUCENE-5418: Drilling down or sideways on a Lucene facet range (using Range.getFilter()) is now faster for costly filters (uses random access, not iteration); range facet counts now accept a fast-match filter to avoid computing the value for documents that are out of bounds, e.g. using a bounding box filter with distance range faceting.
  (Mike McCandless)
21. LUCENE-5440: Add LongBitSet for managing more than 2.1B bits (otherwise use FixedBitSet).
  (Shai Erera)
22. LUCENE-5437: ASCIIFoldingFilter now has an option to preserve the original token and emit it on the same position as the folded token only if the actual token was folded.
  (Simon Willnauer, Nik Everett)
23. LUCENE-5408: Add spatial SerializedDVStrategy that serializes a binary representations of a shape into BinaryDocValues. It supports exact geometry relationship calculations.
  (David Smiley)
24. LUCENE-5457: Add SloppyMath.earthDiameter(double latitude) that returns an approximate value of the diameter of the earth at the given latitude.
  (Adrien Grand)
25. LUCENE-5979: FilteredQuery uses the cost API to decide on whether to use random-access or leap-frog to intersect the filter with the query.
  (Adrien Grand)
Build (11)
1. LUCENE-5217,LUCENE-5420: Maven config: get dependencies from Ant+Ivy config; disable transitive dependency resolution for all depended-on artifacts by putting an exclusion for each transitive dependency in the <dependencyManagement> section of the grandparent POM.
  (Steve Rowe)
2. LUCENE-5322: Clean up / simplify Maven-related Ant targets.
  (Steve Rowe)
3. LUCENE-5347: Upgrade forbidden-apis checker to version 1.4.
  (Uwe Schindler)
4. LUCENE-4381: Upgrade analysis/icu to 52.1.
  (Robert Muir)
5. LUCENE-5357: Upgrade StandardTokenizer and UAX29URLEmailTokenizer to Unicode 6.3; update UAX29URLEmailTokenizer's recognized top level domains in URLs and Emails from the IANA Root Zone Database.
  (Steve Rowe)
6. LUCENE-5360: Add support for developing in Netbeans IDE.
  (Michal Hlavac, Uwe Schindler, Steve Rowe)
7. SOLR-5590: Upgrade HttpClient/HttpComponents to 4.3.x.
  (Karl Wright via Shawn Heisey)
8. LUCENE-5385: "ant precommit" / "ant check-svn-working-copy" now work for SVN 1.8 or GIT checkouts. The ANT target prints a warning instead of failing. It also instructs the user, how to run on SVN 1.8 working copies.
  (Robert Muir, Uwe Schindler)
9. LUCENE-5383: fix changes2html to link pull requests
  (Steve Rowe)
10. LUCENE-5411: Upgrade to released JFlex 1.5.0; stop requiring a locally built JFlex snapshot jar.
  (Steve Rowe)
11. LUCENE-5465: Solr Contrib "map-reduce" breaks Manifest of all other JAR files by adding a broken Main-Class attribute.
  (Uwe Schindler, Steve Rowe)
Bug fixes (14)
1. LUCENE-5285: Improved highlighting of multi-valued fields with FastVectorHighlighter.
  (Nik Everett via Adrien Grand)
2. LUCENE-5391: UAX29URLEmailTokenizer should not tokenize no-scheme domain-only URLs that are followed by an alphanumeric character.
  (Chris Geeringh, Steve Rowe)
3. LUCENE-5405: If an analysis component throws an exception, Lucene logs the field name to the info stream to assist in diagnosis.
  (Benson Margulies)
4. SOLR-5661: PriorityQueue now refuses to allocate itself if the incoming maxSize is too large
  (Raintung Li via Mike McCandless)
5. LUCENE-5228: IndexWriter.addIndexes(Directory[]) now acquires a write lock in each Directory, to ensure that no open IndexWriter is changing the incoming indices. This also means that you cannot pass the same Directory to multiple concurrent addIndexes calls (which is anyways unusual).
  (Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
6. LUCENE-5415: SpanMultiTermQueryWrapper didn't handle its boost in hashcode/equals/tostring/rewrite.
  (Robert Muir)
7. LUCENE-5409: ToParentBlockJoinCollector.getTopGroups would fail to return any groups when the joined query required more than one rewrite step
  (Peng Cheng via Mike McCandless)
8. LUCENE-5398: NormValueSource was incorrectly casting the long value to byte, before calling Similarity.decodeNormValue.
  (Peng Cheng via Mike McCandless)
9. LUCENE-5436: ReferenceManager#accquire can result in infinite loop if managed resource is abused outside of the ReferenceManager. Decrementing the reference without a corresponding incRef() call can cause an infinite loop. ReferenceManager now throws IllegalStateException if currently managed resources ref count is 0.
  (Simon Willnauer)
10. LUCENE-5443: Lucene45DocValuesProducer.ramBytesUsed() may throw ConcurrentModificationException.
  (Shai Erera, Simon Willnauer)
11. LUCENE-5444: MemoryIndex didn't respect the analyzers offset gap and offsets were corrupted if multiple fields with the same name were added to the memory index.
  (Britta Weber, Simon Willnauer)
12. LUCENE-5447: StandardTokenizer should break at consecutive chars matching Word_Break = MidLetter, MidNum and/or MidNumLet
  (Steve Rowe)
13. LUCENE-5462: RamUsageEstimator.sizeOf(Object) is not used anymore to estimate memory usage of segments. This used to make SegmentReader.ramBytesUsed very CPU-intensive.
  (Adrien Grand)
14. LUCENE-5461: ControlledRealTimeReopenThread would sometimes wait too long (up to targetMaxStaleSec) when a searcher is waiting for a specific generation, when it should have waited for at most targetMinStaleSec.
  (Hans Lund via Mike McCandless)
API Changes (6)
1. LUCENE-5339: The facet module was simplified/reworked to make the APIs more approachable to new users. Note: when migrating to the new API, you must pass the Document that is returned from FacetConfig.build() to IndexWriter.addDocument().
  (Shai Erera, Gilad Barkai, Rob Muir, Mike McCandless)
2. LUCENE-5405: Make ShingleAnalyzerWrapper.getWrappedAnalyzer() public final
  (gsingers)
3. LUCENE-5395: The SpatialArgsParser now only reads WKT, no more "lat, lon" etc. but it's easy to override the parseShape method if you wish.
  (David Smiley)
4. LUCENE-5414: DocumentExpressionDictionary was renamed to DocumentValueSourceDictionary and all dependencies to the lucene-expression module were removed from lucene-suggest. DocumentValueSourceDictionary now only accepts a ValueSource instead of a convenience ctor for an expression string.
  (Simon Willnauer)
5. LUCENE-3069: PostingsWriterBase and PostingsReaderBase are no longer responsible for encoding/decoding a block of terms. Instead, they should encode/decode each term to/from a long[] and byte[].
  (Han Jiang, Mike McCandless)
6. LUCENE-5425: FacetsCollector and MatchingDocs use a general DocIdSet, allowing for custom implementations to be used when faceting.
  (John Wang, Lei Wang, Shai Erera)
Optimizations (3)
1. LUCENE-5372: Replace StringBuffer by StringBuilder, where possible.
  (Joshua Hartman via Uwe Schindler, Dawid Weiss, Mike McCandless)
2. LUCENE-5271: A slightly more accurate SloppyMath distance.
  (Gilad Barkai via Ryan Ernst)
3. LUCENE-5399: Deep paging using IndexSearcher.searchAfter when sorting by fields is faster
  (Rob Muir, Mike McCandless)
Changes in Runtime Behavior (1)
1. LUCENE-5362: IndexReader and SegmentCoreReaders now throw AlreadyClosedException if the refCount in incremented but is less that 1.
  (Simon Willnauer)
Documentation (2)
1. LUCENE-5384: Add some tips for making tokenfilters and tokenizers to the analysis package overview.
  (Benson Margulies via Robert Muir - pull request #12)
2. LUCENE-5389: Add more guidance in the analysis documentation package overview.
  (Benson Margulies via Robert Muir - pull request #14)

Release 4.6.1 [2014-01-28]

Bug fixes (8)
1. LUCENE-5373: Memory usage of [Lucene40/Lucene42/Memory/Direct]DocValuesFormat was over-estimated.
  (Shay Banon, Adrien Grand, Robert Muir)
2. LUCENE-5361: Fixed handling of query boosts in FastVectorHighlighter.
  (Nik Everett via Adrien Grand)
3. LUCENE-5374: IndexWriter processes internal events after the it closed itself internally. This rare condition can happen if an IndexWriter has internal changes that were not fully applied yet like when index / flush requests happen concurrently to the close or rollback call.
  (Simon Willnauer)
4. LUCENE-5394: Fix TokenSources.getTokenStream to return payloads if they were indexed with the term vectors.
  (Mike McCandless)
5. LUCENE-5344: Flexible StandardQueryParser behaves differently than ClassicQueryParser.
  (Adriano Crestani)
6. LUCENE-5375: ToChildBlockJoinQuery works harder to detect mis-use, when the parent query incorrectly returns child documents, and throw a clear exception saying so.
  (Dr. Oleg Savrasov via Mike McCandless)
7. LUCENE-5401: Field.StringTokenStream#end() calls super.end() now, preventing wrong term positions for fields that use StringTokenStream.
  (Michael Busch)
8. LUCENE-5377: IndexWriter.addIndexes(Directory[]) would cause corruption on Lucene 4.6 if any index segments were Lucene 4.0-4.5.
  (Littlestar, Mike McCandless, Shai Erera, Robert Muir)

Release 4.6.0 [2013-11-22]

New Features (23)
1. LUCENE-4906: PostingsHighlighter can now render to custom Object, for advanced use cases where String is too restrictive
  (Luca Cavanna, Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
2. LUCENE-5133: Changed AnalyzingInfixSuggester.highlight to return Object instead of String, to allow for advanced use cases where String is too restrictive
  (Robert Muir, Shai Erera, Mike McCandless)
3. LUCENE-5207, LUCENE-5334: Added expressions module for customizing ranking with script-like syntax.
  (Jack Conradson, Ryan Ernst, Uwe Schindler via Robert Muir)
4. LUCENE-5180: ShingleFilter now creates shingles with trailing holes, for example if a StopFilter had removed the last token.
  (Mike McCandless)
5. LUCENE-5219: Add support to SynonymFilterFactory for custom parsers.
  (Ryan Ernst via Robert Muir)
6. LUCENE-5235: Tokenizers now throw an IllegalStateException if the consumer does not call reset() before consuming the stream. Previous versions throwed NullPointerException or ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException on best effort which was not user-friendly.
  (Uwe Schindler, Robert Muir)
7. LUCENE-5240: Tokenizers now throw an IllegalStateException if the consumer neglects to call close() on the previous stream before consuming the next one.
  (Uwe Schindler, Robert Muir)
8. LUCENE-5214: Add new FreeTextSuggester, to predict the next word using a simple ngram language model. This is useful for the "long tail" suggestions, when a primary suggester fails to find a suggestion.
  (Mike McCandless)
9. LUCENE-5251: New DocumentDictionary allows building suggesters via contents of existing field, weight and optionally payload stored fields in an index
  (Areek Zillur via Mike McCandless)
10. LUCENE-5261: Add QueryBuilder, a simple API to build queries from the analysis chain directly, or to make it easier to implement query parsers.
  (Robert Muir, Uwe Schindler)
11. LUCENE-5270: Add Terms.hasFreqs, to determine whether a given field indexed per-doc term frequencies.
  (Mike McCandless)
12. LUCENE-5269: Add CodepointCountFilter.
  (Robert Muir)
13. LUCENE-5294: Suggest module: add DocumentExpressionDictionary to compute each suggestion's weight using a javascript expression.
  (Areek Zillur via Mike McCandless)
14. LUCENE-5274: FastVectorHighlighter now supports highlighting against several indexed fields.
  (Nik Everett via Adrien Grand)
15. LUCENE-5304: SingletonSortedSetDocValues can now return the wrapped SortedDocValues
  (Robert Muir, Adrien Grand)
16. LUCENE-2844: The benchmark module can now test the spatial module. See spatial.alg
  (David Smiley, Liviy Ambrose)
17. LUCENE-5302: Make StemmerOverrideMap's methods public
  (Alan Woodward)
18. LUCENE-5296: Add DirectDocValuesFormat, which holds all doc values in heap as uncompressed java native arrays.
  (Mike McCandless)
19. LUCENE-5189: Add IndexWriter.updateNumericDocValues, to update numeric DocValues fields of documents, without re-indexing them.
  (Shai Erera, Mike McCandless, Robert Muir)
20. LUCENE-5298: Add SumValueSourceFacetRequest for aggregating facets by a ValueSource, such as a NumericDocValuesField or an expression.
  (Shai Erera)
21. LUCENE-5323: Add .sizeInBytes method to all suggesters (Lookup).
  (Areek Zillur via Mike McCandless)
22. LUCENE-5312: Add BlockJoinSorter, a new Sorter implementation that makes sure to never split up blocks of documents indexed with IndexWriter.addDocuments.
  (Adrien Grand)
23. LUCENE-5297: Allow to range-facet on any ValueSource, not just NumericDocValues fields.
  (Shai Erera)
Bug Fixes (5)
1. LUCENE-5272: OpenBitSet.ensureCapacity did not modify numBits, causing false assertion errors in fastSet.
  (Shai Erera)
2. LUCENE-5303: OrdinalsCache did not use coreCacheKey, resulting in over caching across multiple threads.
  (Mike McCandless, Shai Erera)
3. LUCENE-5307: Fix topScorer inconsistency in handling QueryWrapperFilter inside ConstantScoreQuery, which now rewrites to a query removing the obsolete QueryWrapperFilter.
  (Adrien Grand, Uwe Schindler)
4. LUCENE-5330: IndexWriter didn't process all internal events on #getReader(), #close() and #rollback() which causes files to be deleted at a later point in time. This could cause short-term disk pollution or OOM if in-memory directories are used.
  (Simon Willnauer)
5. LUCENE-5342: Fixed bulk-merge issue in CompressingStoredFieldsFormat which created corrupted segments when mixing chunk sizes. Lucene41StoredFieldsFormat is not impacted.
  (Adrien Grand, Robert Muir)
API Changes (9)
1. LUCENE-5222: Add SortField.needsScores(). Previously it was not possible for a custom Sort that makes use of the relevance score to work correctly with IndexSearcher when an ExecutorService is specified.
  (Ryan Ernst, Mike McCandless, Robert Muir)
2. LUCENE-5275: Change AttributeSource.toString() to display the current state of attributes.
  (Robert Muir)
3. LUCENE-5277: Modify FixedBitSet copy constructor to take an additional numBits parameter to allow growing/shrinking the copied bitset. You can use FixedBitSet.clone() if you only need to clone the bitset.
  (Shai Erera)
4. LUCENE-5260: Use TermFreqPayloadIterator for all suggesters; those suggesters that can't support payloads will throw an exception if hasPayloads() is true.
  (Areek Zillur via Mike McCandless)
5. LUCENE-5280: Rename TermFreqPayloadIterator -> InputIterator, along with associated suggest/spell classes.
  (Areek Zillur via Mike McCandless)
6. LUCENE-5157: Rename OrdinalMap methods to clarify API and internal structure.
  (Boaz Leskes via Adrien Grand)
7. LUCENE-5313: Move preservePositionIncrements from setter to ctor in Analyzing/FuzzySuggester.
  (Areek Zillur via Mike McCandless)
8. LUCENE-5321: Remove Facet42DocValuesFormat. Use DirectDocValuesFormat if you want to load the category list into memory.
  (Shai Erera, Mike McCandless)
9. LUCENE-5324: AnalyzerWrapper.getPositionIncrementGap and getOffsetGap can now be overridden.
  (Adrien Grand)
Optimizations (4)
1. LUCENE-5225: The ToParentBlockJoinQuery only keeps tracks of the the child doc ids and child scores if the ToParentBlockJoinCollector is used.
  (Martijn van Groningen)
2. LUCENE-5236: EliasFanoDocIdSet now has an index and uses broadword bit selection to speed-up advance().
  (Paul Elschot via Adrien Grand)
3. LUCENE-5266: Improved number of read calls and branches in DirectPackedReader.
  (Ryan Ernst)
4. LUCENE-5300: Optimized SORTED_SET storage for fields which are single-valued.
  (Adrien Grand)
Documentation (1)
1. LUCENE-5211: Better javadocs and error checking of 'format' option in StopFilterFactory, as well as comments in all snowball formatted files about specifying format option.
  (hossman)
Changes in backwards compatibility policy (2)
1. LUCENE-5235: Sub classes of Tokenizer have to call super.reset() when implementing reset(). Otherwise the consumer will get an IllegalStateException because the Reader is not correctly assigned. It is important to never change the "input" field on Tokenizer without using setReader(). The "input" field must not be used outside reset(), incrementToken(), or end() - especially not in the constructor.
  (Uwe Schindler, Robert Muir)
2. LUCENE-5204: Directory doesn't have default implementations for LockFactory-related methods, which have been moved to BaseDirectory. If you had a custom Directory implementation that extended Directory, you need to extend BaseDirectory instead.
  (Adrien Grand)
Build (4)
1. LUCENE-5283: Fail the build if ant test didn't execute any tests (everything filtered out).
  (Dawid Weiss, Uwe Schindler)
2. LUCENE-5249, LUCENE-5257: All Lucene/Solr modules should use the same dependency versions.
  (Steve Rowe)
3. LUCENE-5273: Binary artifacts in Lucene and Solr convenience binary distributions accompanying a release, including on Maven Central, should be identical across all distributions.
  (Steve Rowe, Uwe Schindler, Shalin Shekhar Mangar)
4. LUCENE-4753: Run forbidden-apis Ant task per module. This allows more improvements and prevents OOMs after the number of class files raised recently.
  (Uwe Schindler)
Tests (1)
1. LUCENE-5278: Fix MockTokenizer to work better with more regular expression patterns. Previously it could only behave like CharTokenizer (where a character is either a "word" character or not), but now it gives a general longest-match behavior.
  (Nik Everett via Robert Muir)

Release 4.5.1 [2013-10-24]

Bug Fixes (8)
1. LUCENE-4998: Fixed a few places to pass IOContext.READONCE instead of IOContext.READ
  (Shikhar Bhushan via Mike McCandless)
2. LUCENE-5242: DirectoryTaxonomyWriter.replaceTaxonomy did not fully reset its state, which could result in exceptions being thrown, as well as incorrect ordinals returned from getParent.
  (Shai Erera)
3. LUCENE-5254: Fixed bounded memory leak, where objects like live docs bitset were not freed from an starting reader after reopening to a new reader and closing the original one.
  (Shai Erera, Mike McCandless)
4. LUCENE-5262: Fixed file handle leaks when multiple attempts to open an NRT reader hit exceptions.
  (Shai Erera)
5. LUCENE-5263: Transient IOExceptions, e.g. due to disk full or file descriptor exhaustion, hit at unlucky times inside IndexWriter could lead to silently losing deletions.
  (Shai Erera, Mike McCandless)
6. LUCENE-5264: CommonTermsQuery ignored minMustMatch if only high-frequent terms were present in the query and the high-frequent operator was set to SHOULD.
  (Simon Willnauer)
7. LUCENE-5269: Fix bug in NGramTokenFilter where it would sometimes count unicode characters incorrectly.
  (Mike McCandless, Robert Muir)
8. LUCENE-5289: IndexWriter.hasUncommittedChanges was returning false when there were buffered delete-by-Term.
  (Shalin Shekhar Mangar, Mike McCandless)

Release 4.5.0 [2013-10-05]

New features (15)
1. LUCENE-5084: Added new Elias-Fano encoder, decoder and DocIdSet implementations.
  (Paul Elschot via Adrien Grand)
2. LUCENE-5081: Added WAH8DocIdSet, an in-memory doc id set implementation based on word-aligned hybrid encoding.
  (Adrien Grand)
3. LUCENE-5098: New broadword utility methods in oal.util.BroadWord.
  (Paul Elschot via Adrien Grand, Dawid Weiss)
4. LUCENE-5030: FuzzySuggester now supports optional unicodeAware (default is false). If true then edits are measured in Unicode code points instead of UTF8 bytes.
  (Artem Lukanin via Mike McCandless)
5. LUCENE-5118: SpatialStrategy.makeDistanceValueSource() now has an optional multiplier for scaling degrees to another unit.
  (David Smiley)
6. LUCENE-5091: SpanNotQuery can now be configured with pre and post slop to act as a hypothetical SpanNotNearQuery.
  (Tim Allison via David Smiley)
7. LUCENE-4985: FacetsAccumulator.create() is now able to create a MultiFacetsAccumulator over a mixed set of facet requests. MultiFacetsAccumulator allows wrapping multiple FacetsAccumulators, allowing to easily mix existing and custom ones. TaxonomyFacetsAccumulator supports any FacetRequest which implements createFacetsAggregator and was indexed using the taxonomy index.
  (Shai Erera)
8. LUCENE-5153: AnalyzerWrapper.wrapReader allows wrapping the Reader given to inputReader.
  (Shai Erera)
9. LUCENE-5155: FacetRequest.getValueOf and .getFacetArraysSource replaced by FacetsAggregator.createOrdinalValueResolver. This gives better options for resolving an ordinal's value by FacetAggregators.
  (Shai Erera)
10. LUCENE-5165: Add SuggestStopFilter, to be used with analyzing suggesters, so that a stop word at the very end of the lookup query, and without any trailing token characters, will be preserved. This enables query "a" to suggest apple; see http://blog.mikemccandless.com/2013/08/suggeststopfilter-carefully-removes.html for details.
11. LUCENE-5178: Added support for missing values to DocValues fields. AtomicReader.getDocsWithField returns a Bits of documents with a value, and FieldCache.getDocsWithField forwards to that for DocValues fields. Things like SortField.setMissingValue, FunctionValues.exists, and FieldValueFilter now work with DocValues fields.
  (Robert Muir)
12. LUCENE-5124: Lucene 4.5 has a new Lucene45Codec with Lucene45DocValues, supporting missing values and with most datastructures residing off-heap. Added "Memory" docvalues format that works entirely in heap, and "Disk" loads no datastructures into RAM. Both of these also support missing values. Added DiskNormsFormat (in case you want norms entirely on disk).
  (Robert Muir)
13. LUCENE-2750: Added PForDeltaDocIdSet, an in-memory doc id set implementation based on the PFOR encoding.
  (Adrien Grand)
14. LUCENE-5186: Added CachingWrapperFilter.getFilter in order to be able to get the wrapped filter.
  (Trejkaz via Adrien Grand)
15. LUCENE-5197: Added SegmentReader.ramBytesUsed to return approximate heap RAM used by index datastructures.
  (Areek Zillur via Robert Muir)
Bug Fixes (16)
1. LUCENE-5116: IndexWriter.addIndexes(IndexReader...) should drop empty (or all deleted) segments.
  (Robert Muir, Shai Erera)
2. LUCENE-5132: Spatial RecursivePrefixTree Contains predicate will throw an NPE when there's no indexed data and maybe in other circumstances too.
  (David Smiley)
3. LUCENE-5146: AnalyzingSuggester sort comparator read part of the input key as the weight that caused the sorter to never sort by weight first since the weight is only considered if the input is equal causing the malformed weight to be identical as well.
  (Simon Willnauer)
4. LUCENE-5151: Associations FacetsAggregators could enter an infinite loop when some result documents were missing category associations.
  (Shai Erera)
5. LUCENE-5152: Fix MemoryPostingsFormat to not modify borrowed BytesRef from FSTEnum seek/lookup which can cause side effects if done on a cached FST root arc.
  (Simon Willnauer)
6. LUCENE-5160: Handle the case where reading from a file or FileChannel returns -1, which could happen in rare cases where something happens to the file between the time we start the read loop (where we check the length) and when we actually do the read.
  (gsingers, yonik, Robert Muir, Uwe Schindler)
7. LUCENE-5166: PostingsHighlighter would throw IOOBE if a term spanned the maxLength boundary, made it into the top-N and went to the formatter.
  (Manuel Amoabeng, Michael McCandless, Robert Muir)
8. LUCENE-4583: Indexing core no longer enforces a limit on maximum length binary doc values fields, but individual codecs (including the default one) have their own limits
  (David Smiley, Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
9. LUCENE-3849: TokenStreams now set the position increment in end(), so we can handle trailing holes. If you have a custom TokenStream implementing end() then be sure it calls super.end().
  (Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
10. LUCENE-5192: IndexWriter could allow adding same field name with different DocValueTypes under some circumstances.
  (Shai Erera)
11. LUCENE-5191: SimpleHTMLEncoder in Highlighter module broke Unicode outside BMP because it encoded UTF-16 chars instead of codepoints. The escaping of codepoints > 127 was removed (not needed for valid HTML) and missing escaping for ' and / was added.
  (Uwe Schindler)
12. LUCENE-5201: Fixed compression bug in LZ4.compressHC when the input is highly compressible and the start offset of the array to compress is > 0.
  (Adrien Grand)
13. LUCENE-5221: SimilarityBase did not write norms the same way as DefaultSimilarity if discountOverlaps == false and index-time boosts are present for the field.
  (Yubin Kim via Robert Muir)
14. LUCENE-5223: Fixed IndexUpgrader command line parsing: -verbose is not required and -dir-impl option now works correctly.
  (hossman)
15. LUCENE-5245: Fix MultiTermQuery's constant score rewrites to always return a ConstantScoreQuery to make scoring consistent. Previously it returned an empty unwrapped BooleanQuery, if no terms were available, which has a different query norm.
  (Nik Everett, Uwe Schindler)
16. LUCENE-5218: In some cases, trying to retrieve or merge a 0-length binary doc value would hit an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException.
  (Littlestar via Mike McCandless)
API Changes (13)
1. LUCENE-5094: Add ramBytesUsed() to MultiDocValues.OrdinalMap.
  (Robert Muir)
2. LUCENE-5114: Remove unused boolean useCache parameter from TermsEnum.seekCeil and .seekExact
  (Mike McCandless)
3. LUCENE-5128: IndexSearcher.searchAfter throws IllegalArgumentException if searchAfter exceeds the number of documents in the reader.
  (Crocket via Shai Erera)
4. LUCENE-5129: CategoryAssociationsContainer no longer supports null association values for categories. If you want to index categories without associations, you should add them using FacetFields.
  (Shai Erera)
5. LUCENE-4876: IndexWriter no longer clones the given IndexWriterConfig. If you need to use the same config more than once, e.g. when sharing between multiple writers, make sure to clone it before passing to each writer.
  (Shai Erera, Mike McCandless)
6. LUCENE-5144: StandardFacetsAccumulator renamed to OldFacetsAccumulator, and all associated classes were moved under o.a.l.facet.old. The intention to remove it one day, when the features it covers (complements, partitions, sampling) will be migrated to the new FacetsAggregator and FacetsAccumulator API. Also, FacetRequest.createAggregator was replaced by OldFacetsAccumulator.createAggregator.
  (Shai Erera)
7. LUCENE-5149: CommonTermsQuery now allows to set the minimum number of terms that should match for its high and low frequent sub-queries. Previously this was only supported on the low frequent terms query.
  (Simon Willnauer)
8. LUCENE-5156: CompressingTermVectors TermsEnum no longer supports ord().
  (Robert Muir)
9. LUCENE-5161, LUCENE-5164: Fix default chunk sizes in FSDirectory to not be unnecessarily large (now 8192 bytes); also use chunking when writing to index files. FSDirectory#setReadChunkSize() is now deprecated and will be removed in Lucene 5.0.
  (Uwe Schindler, Robert Muir, gsingers)
10. LUCENE-5170: Analyzer.ReuseStrategy instances are now stateless and can be reused in other Analyzer instances, which was not possible before. Lucene ships now with stateless singletons for per field and global reuse. Legacy code can still instantiate the deprecated implementation classes, but new code should use the constants. Implementors of custom strategies have to take care of new method signatures. AnalyzerWrapper can now be configured to use a custom strategy, too, ideally the one from the wrapped Analyzer. Analyzer adds a getter to retrieve the strategy for this use-case.
  (Uwe Schindler, Robert Muir, Shay Banon)
11. LUCENE-5173: Lucene never writes segments with 0 documents anymore.
  (Shai Erera, Uwe Schindler, Robert Muir)
12. LUCENE-5178: SortedDocValues always returns -1 ord when a document is missing a value for the field. Previously it only did this if the SortedDocValues was produced by uninversion on the FieldCache.
  (Robert Muir)
13. LUCENE-5183: remove BinaryDocValues.MISSING. In order to determine a document is missing a field, use getDocsWithField instead.
  (Robert Muir)
Changes in Runtime Behavior (2)
1. LUCENE-5178: DocValues codec consumer APIs (iterables) return null values when the document has no value for the field.
  (Robert Muir)
2. LUCENE-5200: The HighFreqTerms command-line tool returns the true top-N by totalTermFreq when using the -t option, it uses the term statistics (faster) and now always shows totalTermFreq in the output.
  (Robert Muir)
Optimizations (12)
1. LUCENE-5088: Added TermFilter to filter docs by a specific term.
  (Martijn van Groningen)
2. LUCENE-5119: DiskDV keeps the document-to-ordinal mapping on disk for SortedDocValues.
  (Robert Muir)
3. LUCENE-5145: New AppendingPackedLongBuffer, a new variant of the former AppendingLongBuffer which assumes values are 0-based.
  (Boaz Leskes via Adrien Grand)
4. LUCENE-5145: All Appending*Buffer now support bulk get.
  (Boaz Leskes via Adrien Grand)
5. LUCENE-5140: Fixed a performance regression of span queries caused by LUCENE-4946.
  (Alan Woodward, Adrien Grand)
6. LUCENE-5150: Make WAH8DocIdSet able to inverse its encoding in order to compress dense sets efficiently as well.
  (Adrien Grand)
7. LUCENE-5159: Prefix-code the sorted/sortedset value dictionaries in DiskDV.
  (Robert Muir)
8. LUCENE-5170: Fixed several wrapper analyzers to inherit the reuse strategy of the wrapped Analyzer.
  (Uwe Schindler, Robert Muir, Shay Banon)
9. LUCENE-5006: Simplified DocumentsWriter and DocumentsWriterPerThread synchronization and concurrent interaction with IndexWriter. DWPT is now only setup once and has no reset logic. All segment publishing and state transition from DWPT into IndexWriter is now done via an Event-Queue processed from within the IndexWriter in order to prevent situations where DWPT or DW calling int IW causing deadlocks.
  (Simon Willnauer)
10. LUCENE-5182: Terminate phrase searches early if max phrase window is exceeded in FastVectorHighlighter to prevent very long running phrase extraction if phrase terms are high frequent.
  (Simon Willnauer)
11. LUCENE-5188: CompressingStoredFieldsFormat now slices chunks containing big documents into fixed-size blocks so that requesting a single field does not necessarily force to decompress the whole chunk.
  (Adrien Grand)
12. LUCENE-5101: CachingWrapper makes it easier to plug-in a custom cacheable DocIdSet implementation and uses WAH8DocIdSet by default, which should be more memory efficient than FixedBitSet on average as well as faster on small sets.
  (Robert Muir)
Documentation (2)
1. LUCENE-4894: remove facet userguide as it was outdated. Partially absorbed into package's documentation and classes javadocs.
  (Shai Erera)
2. LUCENE-5206: Clarify FuzzyQuery's unexpected behavior on short terms.
  (Tim Allison via Mike McCandless)
Changes in backwards compatibility policy (5)
1. LUCENE-5141: CheckIndex.fixIndex(Status,Codec) is now CheckIndex.fixIndex(Status). If you used to pass a codec to this method, just remove it from the arguments.
  (Adrien Grand)
2. LUCENE-5089, SOLR-5126: Update to Morfologik 1.7.1. MorfologikAnalyzer and MorfologikFilter no longer support multiple "dictionaries" as there is only one dictionary available.
  (Dawid Weiss)
3. LUCENE-5170: Changed method signatures of Analyzer.ReuseStrategy to take Analyzer. Closeable interface was removed because the class was changed to be stateless.
  (Uwe Schindler, Robert Muir, Shay Banon)
4. LUCENE-5187: SlowCompositeReaderWrapper constructor is now private, SlowCompositeReaderWrapper.wrap should be used instead.
  (Adrien Grand)
5. LUCENE-5101: CachingWrapperFilter doesn't always return FixedBitSet instances anymore. Users of the join module can use oal.search.join.FixedBitSetCachingWrapperFilter instead.
  (Adrien Grand)
Build (2)
1. SOLR-5159: Manifest includes non-parsed maven variables.
  (Artem Karpenko via Steve Rowe)
2. LUCENE-5193: Add jar-src as top-level target to generate all Lucene and Solr *-src.jar.
  (Steve Rowe, Shai Erera)

Release 4.4.0 [2013-07-23]

Changes in backwards compatibility policy (18)
1. LUCENE-5085: MorfologikFilter will no longer stem words marked as keywords
  (Dawid Weiss, Grzegorz Sobczyk)
2. LUCENE-4955: NGramTokenFilter now emits all n-grams for the same token at the same position and preserves the position length and the offsets of the original token.
  (Simon Willnauer, Adrien Grand)
3. LUCENE-4955: NGramTokenizer now emits n-grams in a different order (a, ab, b, bc, c) instead of (a, b, c, ab, bc) and doesn't trim trailing whitespaces.
  (Adrien Grand)
4. LUCENE-5042: The n-gram and edge n-gram tokenizers and filters now correctly handle supplementary characters, and the tokenizers have the ability to pre-tokenize the input stream similarly to CharTokenizer.
  (Adrien Grand)
5. LUCENE-4967: NRTManager is replaced by ControlledRealTimeReopenThread, for controlling which requests must see which indexing changes, so that it can work with any ReferenceManager
  (Mike McCandless)
6. LUCENE-4973: SnapshotDeletionPolicy no longer requires a unique String id
  (Mike McCandless, Shai Erera)
7. LUCENE-4946: The internal sorting API (SorterTemplate, now Sorter) has been completely refactored to allow for a better implementation of TimSort.
  (Adrien Grand, Uwe Schindler, Dawid Weiss)
8. LUCENE-4963: Some TokenFilter options that generate broken TokenStreams have been deprecated: updateOffsets=true on TrimFilter and enablePositionIncrements=false on all classes that inherit from FilteringTokenFilter: JapanesePartOfSpeechStopFilter, KeepWordFilter, LengthFilter, StopFilter and TypeTokenFilter.
  (Adrien Grand)
9. LUCENE-4963: In order not to take position increments into account in suggesters, you now need to call setPreservePositionIncrements(false) instead of configuring the token filters to not increment positions.
  (Adrien Grand)
10. LUCENE-3907: EdgeNGramTokenizer now supports maxGramSize > 1024, doesn't trim the input, sets position increment = 1 for all tokens and doesn't support backward grams anymore.
  (Adrien Grand)
11. LUCENE-3907: EdgeNGramTokenFilter does not support backward grams and does not update offsets anymore.
  (Adrien Grand)
12. LUCENE-4981: PositionFilter is now deprecated as it can corrupt token stream graphs. Since it main use-case was to make query parsers generate boolean queries instead of phrase queries, it is now advised to use QueryParser.setAutoGeneratePhraseQueries(false) (for simple cases) or to override QueryParser.newFieldQuery.
  (Adrien Grand, Steve Rowe)
13. LUCENE-5018: CompoundWordTokenFilterBase and its children DictionaryCompoundWordTokenFilter and HyphenationCompoundWordTokenFilter don't update offsets anymore.
  (Adrien Grand)
14. LUCENE-5015: SamplingAccumulator no longer corrects the counts of the sampled categories. You should set TakmiSampleFixer on SamplingParams if required (but notice that this means slower search).
  (Rob Audenaerde, Gilad Barkai, Shai Erera)
15. LUCENE-4933: Replace ExactSimScorer/SloppySimScorer with just SimScorer. Previously there were 2 implementations as a performance hack to support tableization of sqrt(), but this caching is removed, as sqrt is implemented in hardware with modern jvms and it's faster not to cache.
  (Robert Muir)
16. LUCENE-5038: MergePolicy now has a default implementation for useCompoundFile based on segment size and noCFSRatio. The default implementation was pulled up from TieredMergePolicy.
  (Simon Willnauer)
17. LUCENE-5063: FieldCache.get(Bytes|Shorts), SortField.Type.(BYTE|SHORT) and FieldCache.DEFAULT_(BYTE|SHORT|INT|LONG|FLOAT|DOUBLE)_PARSER are now deprecated. These methods/types assume that data is stored as strings although Lucene has much better support for numeric data through (Int|Long)Field, NumericRangeQuery and FieldCache.get(Int|Long)s.
  (Adrien Grand)
18. LUCENE-5078: TfIDFSimilarity lets you encode the norm value as any arbitrary long. As a result, encode/decodeNormValue were made abstract with their signatures changed. The default implementation was moved to DefaultSimilarity, which encodes the norm as a single-byte value.
  (Shai Erera)
Bug Fixes (23)
1. LUCENE-4890: QueryTreeBuilder.getBuilder() only finds interfaces on the most derived class.
  (Adriano Crestani)
2. LUCENE-4997: Internal test framework's tests are sensitive to previous test failures and tests.failfast.
  (Dawid Weiss, Shai Erera)
3. LUCENE-4955: NGramTokenizer now supports inputs larger than 1024 chars.
  (Adrien Grand)
4. LUCENE-4959: Fix incorrect return value in SimpleNaiveBayesClassifier.assignClass.
  (Alexey Kutin via Adrien Grand)
5. LUCENE-4972: DirectoryTaxonomyWriter created empty commits even if no changes were made.
  (Shai Erera, Michael McCandless)
6. LUCENE-949: AnalyzingQueryParser can't work with leading wildcards.
  (Tim Allison, Robert Muir, Steve Rowe)
7. LUCENE-4980: Fix issues preventing mixing of RangeFacetRequest and non-RangeFacetRequest when using DrillSideways.
  (Mike McCandless, Shai Erera)
8. LUCENE-4996: Ensure DocInverterPerField always includes field name in exception messages.
  (Markus Jelsma via Robert Muir)
9. LUCENE-4992: Fix constructor of CustomScoreQuery to take FunctionQuery for scoringQueries. Instead use QueryValueSource to safely wrap arbitrary queries and use them with CustomScoreQuery.
  (John Wang, Robert Muir)
10. LUCENE-5016: SamplingAccumulator returned inconsistent label if asked to aggregate a non-existing category. Also fixed a bug in RangeAccumulator if some readers did not have the requested numeric DV field.
  (Rob Audenaerde, Shai Erera)
11. LUCENE-5028: Remove pointless and confusing doShare option in FST's PositiveIntOutputs
  (Han Jiang via Mike McCandless)
12. LUCENE-5032: Fix IndexOutOfBoundsExc in PostingsHighlighter when multi-valued fields exceed maxLength
  (Tomás Fernández Löbbe via Mike McCandless)
13. LUCENE-4933: SweetSpotSimilarity didn't apply its tf function to some queries (SloppyPhraseQuery, SpanQueries).
  (Robert Muir)
14. LUCENE-5033: SlowFuzzyQuery was accepting too many terms (documents) when provided minSimilarity is an int > 1
  (Tim Allison via Mike McCandless)
15. LUCENE-5045: DrillSideways.search did not work on an empty index.
  (Shai Erera)
16. LUCENE-4995: CompressingStoredFieldsReader now only reuses an internal buffer when there is no more than 32kb to decompress. This prevents from running into out-of-memory errors when working with large stored fields.
  (Adrien Grand)
17. LUCENE-5062: If the spatial data for a document was comprised of multiple overlapping or adjacent parts then a CONTAINS predicate query might not match when the sum of those shapes contain the query shape but none do individually. A flag was added to use the original faster algorithm.
  (David Smiley)
18. LUCENE-4971: Fixed NPE in AnalyzingSuggester when there are too many graph expansions.
  (Alexey Kudinov via Mike McCandless)
19. LUCENE-5080: Combined setMaxMergeCount and setMaxThreadCount into one setter in ConcurrentMergePolicy: setMaxMergesAndThreads. Previously these setters would not work unless you invoked them very carefully.
  (Robert Muir, Shai Erera)
20. LUCENE-5068: QueryParserUtil.escape() does not escape forward slash.
  (Matias Holte via Steve Rowe)
21. LUCENE-5103: A join on A single-valued field with deleted docs scored too few docs.
  (David Smiley)
22. LUCENE-5090: Detect mismatched readers passed to SortedSetDocValuesReaderState and SortedSetDocValuesAccumulator.
  (Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
23. LUCENE-5120: AnalyzingSuggester modified its FST's cached root arc if payloads are used and the entire output resided on the root arc on the first access. This caused subsequent suggest calls to fail.
  (Simon Willnauer)
Optimizations (7)
1. LUCENE-4936: Improve numeric doc values compression in case all values share a common divisor. In particular, this improves the compression ratio of dates without time when they are encoded as milliseconds since Epoch. Also support TABLE compressed numerics in the Disk codec.
  (Robert Muir, Adrien Grand)
2. LUCENE-4951: DrillSideways uses the new Scorer.cost() method to make better decisions about which scorer to use internally.
  (Mike McCandless)
3. LUCENE-4976: PersistentSnapshotDeletionPolicy writes its state to a single snapshots_N file, and no longer requires closing
  (Mike McCandless, Shai Erera)
4. LUCENE-5035: Compress addresses in FieldCacheImpl.SortedDocValuesImpl more efficiently.
  (Adrien Grand, Robert Muir)
5. LUCENE-4941: Sort "from" terms only once when using JoinUtil.
  (Martijn van Groningen)
6. LUCENE-5050: Close the stored fields and term vectors index files as soon as the index has been loaded into memory to save file descriptors.
  (Adrien Grand)
7. LUCENE-5086: RamUsageEstimator now uses official Java 7 API or a proprietary Oracle Java 6 API to get Hotspot MX bean, preventing AWT classes to be loaded on MacOSX.
  (Shay Banon, Dawid Weiss, Uwe Schindler)
New Features (19)
1. LUCENE-5085: MorfologikFilter will no longer stem words marked as keywords
  (Dawid Weiss, Grzegorz Sobczyk)
2. LUCENE-5064: Added PagedMutable (internal), a paged extension of PackedInts.Mutable which allows for storing more than 2B values.
  (Adrien Grand)
3. LUCENE-4766: Added a PatternCaptureGroupTokenFilter that uses Java regexes to emit multiple tokens one for each capture group in one or more patterns.
  (Simon Willnauer, Clinton Gormley)
4. LUCENE-4952: Expose control (protected method) in DrillSideways to force all sub-scorers to be on the same document being collected. This is necessary when using collectors like ToParentBlockJoinCollector with DrillSideways.
  (Mike McCandless)
5. SOLR-4761: Add SimpleMergedSegmentWarmer, which just initializes terms, norms, docvalues, and so on.
  (Mark Miller, Mike McCandless, Robert Muir)
6. LUCENE-4964: Allow arbitrary Query for per-dimension drill-down to DrillDownQuery and DrillSideways, to support future dynamic faceting methods
  (Mike McCandless)
7. LUCENE-4966: Add CachingWrapperFilter.sizeInBytes()
  (Mike McCandless)
8. LUCENE-4965: Add dynamic (no taxonomy index used) numeric range faceting to Lucene's facet module
  (Mike McCandless, Shai Erera)
9. LUCENE-4979: LiveFieldFields can work with any ReferenceManager, not just ReferenceManager<IndexSearcher>
  (Mike McCandless).
10. LUCENE-4975: Added a new Replicator module which can replicate index revisions between server and client.
  (Shai Erera, Mike McCandless)
11. LUCENE-5022: Added FacetResult.mergeHierarchies to merge multiple FacetResult of the same dimension into a single one with the reconstructed hierarchy.
  (Shai Erera)
12. LUCENE-5026: Added PagedGrowableWriter, a new internal packed-ints structure that grows the number of bits per value on demand, can store more than 2B values and supports random write and read access.
  (Adrien Grand)
13. LUCENE-5025: FST's Builder can now handle more than 2.1 billion "tail nodes" while building a minimal FST.
  (Aaron Binns, Adrien Grand, Mike McCandless)
14. LUCENE-5063: FieldCache.DEFAULT.get(Ints|Longs) now uses bit-packing to save memory.
  (Adrien Grand)
15. LUCENE-5079: IndexWriter.hasUncommittedChanges() returns true if there are changes that have not been committed.
  (yonik, Mike McCandless, Uwe Schindler)
16. SOLR-4565: Extend NorwegianLightStemFilter and NorwegianMinimalStemFilter to handle "nynorsk"
  (Erlend Garåsen, janhoy via Robert Muir)
17. LUCENE-5087: Add getMultiValuedSeparator to PostingsHighlighter, for cases where you want a different logical separator between field values. This can be set to e.g. U+2029 PARAGRAPH SEPARATOR if you never want passes to span values.
  (Mike McCandless, Robert Muir)
18. LUCENE-5013: Added ScandinavianFoldingFilterFactory and ScandinavianNormalizationFilterFactory
  (Karl Wettin via janhoy)
19. LUCENE-4845: AnalyzingInfixSuggester finds suggestions based on matches to any tokens in the suggestion, not just based on pure prefix matching.
  (Mike McCandless, Robert Muir)
API Changes (3)
1. LUCENE-5077: Make it easier to use compressed norms. Lucene42NormsFormat takes an overhead parameter, so you can easily pass a different value other than PackedInts.FASTEST from your own codec.
  (Robert Muir)
2. LUCENE-5097: Analyzer now has an additional tokenStream(String fieldName, String text) method, so wrapping by StringReader for common use is no longer needed. This method uses an internal reusable reader, which was previously only used by the Field class.
  (Uwe Schindler, Robert Muir)
3. LUCENE-4542: HunspellStemFilter's maximum recursion level is now configurable.
  (Piotr, Rafał Kuć via Adrien Grand)
Build (4)
1. LUCENE-4987: Upgrade randomized testing to version 2.0.10: Test framework may fail internally due to overly aggressive J9 optimizations.
  (Dawid Weiss, Shai Erera)
2. LUCENE-5043: The eclipse target now uses the containing directory for the project name. This also enforces UTF-8 encoding when files are copied with filtering.
3. LUCENE-5055: "rat-sources" target now checks also build.xml, ivy.xml, forbidden-api signatures, and parts of resources folders.
  (Ryan Ernst, Uwe Schindler)
4. LUCENE-5072: Automatically patch javadocs generated by JDK versions before 7u25 to work around the frame injection vulnerability (CVE-2013-1571, VU#225657).
  (Uwe Schindler)
Tests (1)
1. LUCENE-4901: TestIndexWriterOnJRECrash should work on any JRE vendor via Runtime.halt().
  (Mike McCandless, Robert Muir, Uwe Schindler, Rodrigo Trujillo, Dawid Weiss)
Changes in runtime behavior (2)
1. LUCENE-5038: New segments written by IndexWriter are now wrapped into CFS by default. DocumentsWriterPerThread doesn't consult MergePolicy anymore to decide if a CFS must be written, instead IndexWriterConfig now has a property to enable / disable CFS for newly created segments.
  (Simon Willnauer)
2. LUCENE-5107: Properties files by Lucene are now written in UTF-8 encoding, Unicode is no longer escaped. Reading of legacy properties files with \u escapes is still possible.
  (Uwe Schindler, Robert Muir)

Release 4.3.1 [2013-06-18]

Bug Fixes (12)
1. SOLR-4813: Fix SynonymFilterFactory to allow init parameters for tokenizer factory used when parsing synonyms file.
  (Shingo Sasaki, hossman)
2. LUCENE-4935: CustomScoreQuery wrongly applied its query boost twice (boost^2).
  (Robert Muir)
3. LUCENE-4948: Fixed ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException in PostingsHighlighter if you had a 64-bit JVM without compressed OOPS: IBM J9, or Oracle with large heap/explicitly disabled.
  (Mike McCandless, Uwe Schindler, Robert Muir)
4. LUCENE-4953: Fixed ParallelCompositeReader to inform ReaderClosedListeners of its synthetic subreaders. FieldCaches keyed on the atomic children will be purged earlier and FC insanity prevented. In addition, ParallelCompositeReader's toString() was changed to better reflect the reader structure.
  (Mike McCandless, Uwe Schindler)
5. LUCENE-4968: Fixed ToParentBlockJoinQuery/Collector: correctly handle parent hits that had no child matches, don't throw IllegalArgumentEx when the child query has no hits, more aggressively catch cases where childQuery incorrectly matches parent documents
  (Mike McCandless)
6. LUCENE-4970: Fix boost value of rewritten NGramPhraseQuery.
  (Shingo Sasaki via Adrien Grand)
7. LUCENE-4974: CommitIndexTask was broken if no params were set.
  (Shai Erera)
8. LUCENE-4986: Fixed case where a newly opened near-real-time reader fails to reflect a delete from IndexWriter.tryDeleteDocument
  (Reg, Mike McCandless)
9. LUCENE-4994: Fix PatternKeywordMarkerFilter to have public constructor.
  (Uwe Schindler)
10. LUCENE-4993: Fix BeiderMorseFilter to preserve custom attributes when inserting tokens with position increment 0.
  (Uwe Schindler)
11. LUCENE-4991: Fix handling of synonyms in classic QueryParser.getFieldQuery for terms not separated by whitespace. PositionIncrementAttribute was ignored, so with default AND synonyms wrongly became mandatory clauses, and with OR, the coordination factor was wrong.
  (李威, Robert Muir)
12. LUCENE-5002: IndexWriter#deleteAll() caused a deadlock in DWPT / DWSC if a DwPT was flushing concurrently while deleteAll() aborted all DWPT. The IW should never wait on DWPT via the flush control while holding on to the IW Lock.
  (Simon Willnauer)
Optimizations (1)
1. LUCENE-4938: Don't use an unnecessarily large priority queue in IndexSearcher methods that take top-N.
  (Uwe Schindler, Mike McCandless, Robert Muir)

Release 4.3.0 [2013-05-06]

Changes in backwards compatibility policy (8)
1. LUCENE-4810: EdgeNGramTokenFilter no longer increments position for multiple ngrams derived from the same input token.
  (Walter Underwood via Mike McCandless)
2. LUCENE-4822: KeywordTokenFilter is now an abstract class. Subclasses need to implement #isKeyword() in order to mark terms as keywords. The existing functionality has been factored out into a new SetKeywordTokenFilter class.
  (Simon Willnauer, Uwe Schindler)
3. LUCENE-4642: Remove Tokenizer's and subclasses' ctors taking AttributeSource.
  (Renaud Delbru, Uwe Schindler, Steve Rowe)
4. LUCENE-4833: IndexWriterConfig used to use LogByteSizeMergePolicy when calling setMergePolicy(null) although the default merge policy is TieredMergePolicy. IndexWriterConfig setters now throw an exception when passed null if null is not a valid value.
  (Adrien Grand)
5. LUCENE-4849: Made ParallelTaxonomyArrays abstract with a concrete implementation for DirectoryTaxonomyWriter/Reader. Also moved it under o.a.l.facet.taxonomy.
  (Shai Erera)
6. LUCENE-4876: IndexDeletionPolicy is now an abstract class instead of an interface. IndexDeletionPolicy, MergeScheduler and InfoStream now implement Cloneable.
  (Adrien Grand)
7. LUCENE-4874: FilterAtomicReader and related classes (FilterTerms, FilterDocsEnum, ...) don't forward anymore to the filtered instance when the method has a default implementation through other abstract methods.
  (Adrien Grand, Robert Muir)
8. LUCENE-4642, LUCENE-4877: Implementors of TokenizerFactory, TokenFilterFactory, and CharFilterFactory now need to provide at least one constructor taking Map<String,String> to be able to be loaded by the SPI framework (e.g., from Solr). In addition, TokenizerFactory needs to implement the abstract create(AttributeFactory,Reader) method.
  (Renaud Delbru, Uwe Schindler, Steve Rowe, Robert Muir)
API Changes (3)
1. LUCENE-4896: Made PassageFormatter abstract in PostingsHighlighter, made members of DefaultPassageFormatter protected.
  (Luca Cavanna via Robert Muir)
2. LUCENE-4844: removed TaxonomyReader.getParent(), you should use TaxonomyReader.getParallelArrays().parents() instead.
  (Shai Erera)
3. LUCENE-4742: Renamed spatial 'Node' to 'Cell', along with any method names and variables using this terminology.
  (David Smiley)
New Features (34)
1. LUCENE-4815: DrillSideways now allows more than one FacetRequest per dimension
  (Mike McCandless)
2. LUCENE-3918: IndexSorter has been ported to 4.3 API and now supports sorting documents by a numeric DocValues field, or reverse the order of the documents in the index. Additionally, apps can implement their own sort criteria.
  (Anat Hashavit, Shai Erera)
3. LUCENE-4817: Added KeywordRepeatFilter that allows to emit a token twice once as a keyword and once as an ordinary token allow stemmers to emit a stemmed version along with the un-stemmed version.
  (Simon Willnauer)
4. LUCENE-4822: PatternKeywordTokenFilter can mark tokens as keywords based on regular expressions.
  (Simon Willnauer, Uwe Schindler)
5. LUCENE-4821: AnalyzingSuggester now uses the ending offset to determine whether the last token was finished or not, so that a query "i " will no longer suggest "Isla de Muerta" for example.
  (Mike McCandless)
6. LUCENE-4642: Add create(AttributeFactory) to TokenizerFactory and subclasses with ctors taking AttributeFactory.
  (Renaud Delbru, Uwe Schindler, Steve Rowe)
7. LUCENE-4820: Add payloads to Analyzing/FuzzySuggester, to record an arbitrary byte[] per suggestion
  (Mike McCandless)
8. LUCENE-4816: Add WholeBreakIterator to PostingsHighlighter for treating the entire content as a single Passage.
  (Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
9. LUCENE-4827: Add additional ctor to PostingsHighlighter PassageScorer to provide bm25 k1,b,avgdl parameters.
  (Robert Muir)
10. LUCENE-4607: Add DocIDSetIterator.cost() and Spans.cost() for optimizing scoring.
  (Simon Willnauer, Robert Muir)
11. LUCENE-4795: Add SortedSetDocValuesFacetFields and SortedSetDocValuesAccumulator, to compute topK facet counts from a field's SortedSetDocValues. This method only supports flat (dim/label) facets, is a bit (~25%) slower, has added cost per-IndexReader-open to compute its ordinal map, but it requires no taxonomy index and it tie-breaks facet labels in an understandable (by Unicode sort order) way.
  (Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
12. LUCENE-4843: Add LimitTokenPositionFilter: don't emit tokens with positions that exceed the configured limit.
  (Steve Rowe)
13. LUCENE-4832: Add ToParentBlockJoinCollector.getTopGroupsWithAllChildDocs, to retrieve all children in each group.
  (Aleksey Aleev via Mike McCandless)
14. LUCENE-4846: PostingsHighlighter subclasses can override where the String values come from (it still defaults to pulling from stored fields).
  (Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
15. LUCENE-4853: Add PostingsHighlighter.highlightFields method that takes int[] docIDs instead of TopDocs.
  (Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
16. LUCENE-4856: If there are no matches for a given field, return the first maxPassages sentences
  (Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
17. LUCENE-4859: IndexReader now exposes Terms statistics: getDocCount, getSumDocFreq, getSumTotalTermFreq.
  (Shai Erera)
18. LUCENE-4862: It is now possible to terminate collection of a single IndexReader leaf by throwing a CollectionTerminatedException in Collector.collect.
  (Adrien Grand, Shai Erera)
19. LUCENE-4752: New SortingMergePolicy (in lucene/misc) that sorts documents before merging segments.
  (Adrien Grand, Shai Erera, David Smiley)
20. LUCENE-4860: Customize scoring and formatting per-field in PostingsHighlighter by subclassing and overriding the getFormatter and/or getScorer methods. This also changes Passage.getMatchTerms() to return BytesRef[] instead of Term[].
  (Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
21. LUCENE-4839: Added SorterTemplate.timSort, a O(n log n) stable sort algorithm that performs well on partially sorted data.
  (Adrien Grand)
22. LUCENE-4644: Added support for the "IsWithin" spatial predicate for RecursivePrefixTreeStrategy. It's for matching non-point indexed shapes; if you only have points (1/doc) then "Intersects" is equivalent and faster. See the javadocs.
  (David Smiley)
23. LUCENE-4861: Make BreakIterator per-field in PostingsHighlighter. This means you can override getBreakIterator(String field) to use different mechanisms for e.g. title vs. body fields.
  (Mike McCandless, Robert Muir)
24. LUCENE-4645: Added support for the "Contains" spatial predicate for RecursivePrefixTreeStrategy.
  (David Smiley)
25. LUCENE-4898: DirectoryReader.openIfChanged now allows opening a reader on an IndexCommit starting from a near-real-time reader (previously this would throw IllegalArgumentException).
  (Mike McCandless)
26. LUCENE-4905: Made the maxPassages parameter per-field in PostingsHighlighter.
  (Robert Muir)
27. LUCENE-4897: Added TaxonomyReader.getChildren for traversing a category's children.
  (Shai Erera)
28. LUCENE-4902: Added FilterDirectoryReader to allow easy filtering of a DirectoryReader's subreaders.
  (Alan Woodward, Adrien Grand, Uwe Schindler)
29. LUCENE-4858: Added EarlyTerminatingSortingCollector to be used in conjunction with SortingMergePolicy, which allows to early terminate queries on sorted indexes, when the sort order matches the index order.
  (Adrien Grand, Shai Erera)
30. LUCENE-4904: Added descending sort order to NumericDocValuesSorter.
  (Shai Erera)
31. LUCENE-3786: Added SearcherTaxonomyManager, to manage access to both IndexSearcher and DirectoryTaxonomyReader for near-real-time faceting.
  (Shai Erera, Mike McCandless)
32. LUCENE-4915: DrillSideways now allows drilling down on fields that are not faceted.
  (Mike McCandless)
33. LUCENE-4895: Added support for the "IsDisjointTo" spatial predicate for RecursivePrefixTreeStrategy.
  (David Smiley)
34. LUCENE-4774: Added FieldComparator that allows sorting parent documents based on fields on the child / nested document level.
  (Martijn van Groningen)
Optimizations (7)
1. LUCENE-4839: SorterTemplate.merge can now be overridden in order to replace the default implementation which merges in-place by a faster implementation that could require fewer swaps at the expense of some extra memory. ArrayUtil and CollectionUtil override it so that their mergeSort and timSort methods are faster but only require up to 1% of extra memory.
  (Adrien Grand)
2. LUCENE-4571: Speed up BooleanQuerys with minNrShouldMatch to use skipping.
  (Stefan Pohl via Robert Muir)
3. LUCENE-4863: StemmerOverrideFilter now uses a FST to represent its overrides in memory.
  (Simon Willnauer)
4. LUCENE-4889: UnicodeUtil.codePointCount implementation replaced with a non-array-lookup version.
  (Dawid Weiss)
5. LUCENE-4923: Speed up BooleanQuerys processing of in-order disjunctions.
  (Robert Muir)
6. LUCENE-4926: Speed up DisjunctionMatchQuery.
  (Robert Muir)
7. LUCENE-4930: Reduce contention in older/buggy JVMs when using AttributeSource#addAttribute() because java.lang.ref.ReferenceQueue#poll() is implemented using synchronization.
  (Christian Ziech, Karl Wright, Uwe Schindler)
Bug Fixes (18)
1. LUCENE-4868: SumScoreFacetsAggregator used an incorrect index into the scores array.
  (Shai Erera)
2. LUCENE-4882: FacetsAccumulator did not allow to count ROOT category (i.e. count dimensions).
  (Shai Erera)
3. LUCENE-4876: IndexWriterConfig.clone() now clones its MergeScheduler, IndexDeletionPolicy and InfoStream in order to make an IndexWriterConfig and its clone fully independent.
  (Adrien Grand)
4. LUCENE-4893: Facet counts were multiplied as many times as FacetsCollector.getFacetResults() is called.
  (Shai Erera)
5. LUCENE-4888: Fixed SloppyPhraseScorer, MultiDocs(AndPositions)Enum and MultiSpansWrapper which happened to sometimes call DocIdSetIterator.advance with target<=current (in this case the behavior of advance is undefined).
  (Adrien Grand)
6. LUCENE-4899: FastVectorHighlighter failed with StringIndexOutOfBoundsException if a single highlight phrase or term was greater than the fragCharSize producing negative string offsets.
  (Simon Willnauer)
7. LUCENE-4877: Throw exception for invalid arguments in analysis factories.
  (Steve Rowe, Uwe Schindler, Robert Muir)
8. LUCENE-4914: SpatialPrefixTree's Node/Cell.reset() forgot to reset the 'leaf' flag. It affects SpatialRecursivePrefixTreeStrategy on non-point indexed shapes, as of Lucene 4.2.
  (David Smiley)
9. LUCENE-4913: FacetResultNode.ordinal was always 0 when all children are returned.
  (Mike McCandless)
10. LUCENE-4918: Highlighter closes the given IndexReader if QueryScorer is used with an external IndexReader.
  (Simon Willnauer, Sirvan Yahyaei)
11. LUCENE-4880: Fix MemoryIndex to consume empty terms from the tokenstream consistent with IndexWriter. Previously it discarded them.
  (Timothy Allison via Robert Muir)
12. LUCENE-4885: FacetsAccumulator did not set the correct value for FacetResult.numValidDescendants.
  (Mike McCandless, Shai Erera)
13. LUCENE-4925: Fixed IndexSearcher.search when the argument list contains a Sort and one of the sort fields is the relevance score. Only IndexSearchers created with an ExecutorService are concerned.
  (Adrien Grand)
14. LUCENE-4738, LUCENE-2727, LUCENE-2812: Simplified DirectoryReader.indexExists so that it's more robust to transient IOExceptions (e.g. due to issues like file descriptor exhaustion), but this will also cause it to err towards returning true for example if the directory contains a corrupted index or an incomplete initial commit. In addition, IndexWriter with OpenMode.CREATE will now succeed even if the directory contains a corrupted index
  (Billow Gao, Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
15. LUCENE-4928: Stored fields and term vectors could become super slow in case of tiny documents (a few bytes). This is especially problematic when switching codecs since bulk-merge strategies can't be applied and the same chunk of documents can end up being decompressed thousands of times. A hard limit on the number of documents per chunk has been added to fix this issue.
  (Robert Muir, Adrien Grand)
16. LUCENE-4934: Fix minor equals/hashcode problems in facet/DrillDownQuery, BoostingQuery, MoreLikeThisQuery, FuzzyLikeThisQuery, and block join queries.
  (Robert Muir, Uwe Schindler)
17. LUCENE-4504: Fix broken sort comparator in ValueSource.getSortField, used when sorting by a function query.
  (Tom Shally via Robert Muir)
18. LUCENE-4937: Fix incorrect sorting of float/double values (+/-0, NaN).
  (Robert Muir, Uwe Schindler)
Documentation (1)
1. LUCENE-4841: Added example SimpleSortedSetFacetsExample to show how to use the new SortedSetDocValues backed facet implementation.
  (Shai Erera, Mike McCandless)
Build (1)
1. LUCENE-4879: Upgrade randomized testing to version 2.0.9: Filter stack traces on console output.
  (Dawid Weiss, Robert Muir)

Release 4.2.1 [2013-04-03]

Bug Fixes (9)
1. LUCENE-4713: The SPI components used to load custom codecs or analysis components were fixed to also scan the Lucene ClassLoader in addition to the context ClassLoader, so Lucene is always able to find its own codecs. The special case of a null context ClassLoader is now also supported.
  (Christian Kohlschütter, Uwe Schindler)
2. LUCENE-4819: seekExact(BytesRef, boolean) did not work correctly with Sorted[Set]DocValuesTermsEnum.
  (Robert Muir)
3. LUCENE-4826: PostingsHighlighter was not returning the top N best scoring passages.
  (Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
4. LUCENE-4854: Fix DocTermOrds.getOrdTermsEnum() to not return negative ord on initial next().
  (Robert Muir)
5. LUCENE-4836: Fix SimpleRateLimiter#pause to return the actual time spent sleeping instead of the wakeup timestamp in nano seconds.
  (Simon Willnauer)
6. LUCENE-4828: BooleanQuery no longer extracts terms from its MUST_NOT clauses.
  (Mike McCandless)
7. SOLR-4589: Fixed CPU spikes and poor performance in lazy field loading of multivalued fields.
  (hossman)
8. LUCENE-4870: Fix bug where an entire index might be deleted by the IndexWriter due to false detection if an index exists in the directory when OpenMode.CREATE_OR_APPEND is used. This might also affect application that set the open mode manually using DirectoryReader#indexExists.
  (Simon Willnauer)
9. LUCENE-4878: Override getRegexpQuery in MultiFieldQueryParser to prevent NullPointerException when regular expression syntax is used with MultiFieldQueryParser.
  (Simon Willnauer, Adam Rauch)
Optimizations (3)
1. LUCENE-4819: Added Sorted[Set]DocValues.termsEnum(), and optimized the default codec for improved enumeration performance.
  (Robert Muir)
2. LUCENE-4854: Speed up TermsEnum of FieldCache.getDocTermOrds.
  (Robert Muir)
3. LUCENE-4857: Don't unnecessarily copy stem override map in StemmerOverrideFilter.
  (Simon Willnauer)

Release 4.2.0 [2013-03-11]

Changes in backwards compatibility policy (12)
1. LUCENE-4602: FacetFields now stores facet ordinals in a DocValues field, rather than a payload. This forces rebuilding existing indexes, or do a one time migration using FacetsPayloadMigratingReader. Since DocValues support in-memory caching, CategoryListCache was removed too.
  (Shai Erera, Michael McCandless)
2. LUCENE-4697: FacetResultNode is now a concrete class with public members (instead of getter methods).
  (Shai Erera)
3. LUCENE-4600: FacetsCollector is now an abstract class with two implementations: StandardFacetsCollector (the old version of FacetsCollector) and CountingFacetsCollector. FacetsCollector.create() returns the most optimized collector for the given parameters.
  (Shai Erera, Michael McCandless)
4. LUCENE-4700: OrdinalPolicy is now per CategoryListParams, and is no longer an interface, but rather an enum with values NO_PARENTS and ALL_PARENTS. PathPolicy was removed, you should extend FacetFields and DrillDownStream to control which categories are added as drill-down terms.
  (Shai Erera)
5. LUCENE-4547: DocValues improvements:
  - Simplified codec API: codecs are now only responsible for encoding and decoding docvalues, they do not need to do buffering or RAM accounting.
  - Per-Field support: added PerFieldDocValuesFormat, which allows you to use a different DocValuesFormat per field (like postings).
  - Unified with FieldCache api: DocValues can be accessed via FieldCache API, so it works automatically with grouping/join/sort/function queries, etc.
  - Simplified types: There are only 3 types (NUMERIC, BINARY, SORTED), so it's not necessary to specify for example that all of your binary values have the same length. Instead it's easy for the Codec API to optimize encoding based on any properties of the content.
  (Simon Willnauer, Adrien Grand, Mike McCandless, Robert Muir)
6. LUCENE-4757: Cleanup and refactoring of FacetsAccumulator, FacetRequest, FacetsAggregator and FacetResultsHandler API. If your application did FacetsCollector.create(), you should not be affected, but if you wrote an Aggregator, then you should migrate it to the per-segment FacetsAggregator. You can still use StandardFacetsAccumulator, which works with the old API (for now).
  (Shai Erera)
7. LUCENE-4761: Facet packages reorganized. Should be easy to fix your import statements, if you use an IDE such as Eclipse.
  (Shai Erera)
8. LUCENE-4750: Convert DrillDown to DrillDownQuery, so you can initialize it and add drill-down categories to it.
  (Michael McCandless, Shai Erera)
9. LUCENE-4759: remove FacetRequest.SortBy; result categories are always sorted by value, while ties are broken by category ordinal.
  (Shai Erera)
10. LUCENE-4772: Facet associations moved to new FacetsAggregator API. You should override FacetsAccumulator and return the relevant aggregator, for aggregating the association values.
  (Shai Erera)
11. LUCENE-4748: A FacetRequest on a non-existent field now returns an empty FacetResult instead of skipping it.
  (Shai Erera, Mike McCandless)
12. LUCENE-4806: The default category delimiter character was changed from U+F749 to U+001F, since the latter uses 1 byte vs 3 bytes for the former. Existing facet indices must be reindexed.
  (Robert Muir, Shai Erera, Mike McCandless)
Optimizations (11)
1. LUCENE-4687: BloomFilterPostingsFormat now lazily initializes delegate TermsEnum only if needed to do a seek or get a DocsEnum.
  (Simon Willnauer)
2. LUCENE-4677, LUCENE-4682: unpacked FSTs now use vInt to encode the node target, to reduce their size
  (Mike McCandless)
3. LUCENE-4678: FST now uses a paged byte[] structure instead of a single byte[] internally, to avoid large memory spikes during building
  (James Dyer, Mike McCandless)
4. LUCENE-3298: FST can now be larger than 2.1 GB / 2.1 B nodes.
  (James Dyer, Mike McCandless)
5. LUCENE-4690: Performance improvements and non-hashing versions of NumericUtils.*ToPrefixCoded()
  (yonik)
6. LUCENE-4715: CategoryListParams.getOrdinalPolicy now allows to return a different OrdinalPolicy per dimension, to better tune how you index facets. Also added OrdinalPolicy.ALL_BUT_DIMENSION.
  (Shai Erera, Michael McCandless)
7. LUCENE-4740: Don't track clones of MMapIndexInput if unmapping is disabled. This reduces GC overhead.
  (Kristofer Karlsson, Uwe Schindler)
8. LUCENE-4733: The default Lucene 4.2 codec now uses a more compact TermVectorsFormat (Lucene42TermVectorsFormat) based on CompressingTermVectorsFormat.
  (Adrien Grand)
9. LUCENE-3729: The default Lucene 4.2 codec now uses a more compact DocValuesFormat (Lucene42DocValuesFormat). Sorted values are stored in an FST, Numerics and Ordinals use a number of strategies (delta-compression, table-compression, etc), and memory addresses use MonotonicBlockPackedWriter.
  (Simon Willnauer, Adrien Grand, Mike McCandless, Robert Muir)
10. LUCENE-4792: Reduction of the memory required to build the doc ID maps used when merging segments.
  (Adrien Grand)
11. LUCENE-4794: Spatial RecursivePrefixTreeStrategy's search filter: Skip calls to termsEnum.seek() when the next term is known to follow the current cell.
  (David Smiley)
New Features (16)
1. LUCENE-4686: New specialized DGapVInt8IntEncoder for facets (now the default).
  (Shai Erera)
2. LUCENE-4703: Add simple PrintTaxonomyStats tool to see summary information about the facets taxonomy index.
  (Mike McCandless)
3. LUCENE-4599: New oal.codecs.compressing.CompressingTermVectorsFormat which compresses term vectors into chunks of documents similarly to CompressingStoredFieldsFormat.
  (Adrien Grand)
4. LUCENE-4695: Added LiveFieldValues utility class, for getting the current (live, real-time) value for any indexed doc/field. The class buffers recently indexed doc/field values until a new near-real-time reader is opened that contains those changes.
  (Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
5. LUCENE-4723: Add AnalyzerFactoryTask to benchmark, and enable analyzer creation via the resulting factories using NewAnalyzerTask.
  (Steve Rowe)
6. LUCENE-4728: Unknown and not explicitly mapped queries are now rewritten against the highlighting IndexReader to obtain primitive queries before discarding the query entirely. WeightedSpanTermExtractor now builds a MemoryIndex only once even if multiple fields are highlighted.
  (Simon Willnauer)
7. LUCENE-4035: Added ICUCollationDocValuesField, more efficient support for Locale-sensitive sort and range queries for single-valued fields.
  (Robert Muir)
8. LUCENE-4547: Added MonotonicBlockPacked(Reader/Writer), which provide efficient random access to large amounts of monotonically increasing positive values (e.g. file offsets). Each block stores the minimum value and the average gap, and values are encoded as signed deviations from the expected value.
  (Adrien Grand)
9. LUCENE-4547: Added AppendingLongBuffer, an append-only buffer that packs signed long values in memory and provides an efficient iterator API.
  (Adrien Grand)
10. LUCENE-4540: It is now possible for a codec to represent norms with less than 8 bits per value. For performance reasons this is not done by default, but you can customize your codec (e.g. pass PackedInts.DEFAULT to Lucene42DocValuesConsumer) if you want to make this tradeoff.
  (Adrien Grand, Robert Muir)
11. LUCENE-4764: A new Facet42Codec and Facet42DocValuesFormat provide faster but more RAM-consuming facet performance.
  (Shai Erera, Mike McCandless)
12. LUCENE-4769: Added OrdinalsCache and CachedOrdsCountingFacetsAggregator which uses the cache to obtain a document's ordinals. This aggregator is faster than others, however consumes much more RAM.
  (Michael McCandless, Shai Erera)
13. LUCENE-4778: Add a getter for the delegate in RateLimitedDirectoryWrapper.
  (Mark Miller)
14. LUCENE-4765: Add a multi-valued docvalues type (SORTED_SET). This is equivalent to building a FieldCache.getDocTermOrds at index-time.
  (Robert Muir)
15. LUCENE-4780: Add MonotonicAppendingLongBuffer: an append-only buffer for monotonically increasing values.
  (Adrien Grand)
16. LUCENE-4748: Added DrillSideways utility class for computing both drill-down and drill-sideways counts for a DrillDownQuery.
  (Mike McCandless)
API Changes (4)
1. LUCENE-4709: FacetResultNode no longer has a residue field.
  (Shai Erera)
2. LUCENE-4716: DrillDown.query now takes Occur, allowing to specify if categories should be OR'ed or AND'ed.
  (Shai Erera)
3. LUCENE-4695: ReferenceManager.RefreshListener.afterRefresh now takes a boolean indicating whether a new reference was in fact opened, and a new beforeRefresh method notifies you when a refresh attempt is starting.
  (Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
4. LUCENE-4794: Spatial RecursivePrefixTreeFilter replaced by IntersectsPrefixTreeFilter and some extensible base classes.
  (David Smiley)
Bug Fixes (17)
1. LUCENE-4705: Pass on FilterStrategy in FilteredQuery if the filtered query is rewritten.
  (Simon Willnauer)
2. LUCENE-4712: MemoryIndex#normValues() throws NPE if field doesn't exist.
  (Simon Willnauer, Ricky Pritchett)
3. LUCENE-4550: Shapes wider than 180 degrees would use too much accuracy for the PrefixTree based SpatialStrategy. For a pathological case of nearly 360 degrees and barely any height, it would generate so many indexed terms (> 500k) that it could even cause an OutOfMemoryError. Fixed.
  (David Smiley)
4. LUCENE-4704: Make join queries override hashcode and equals methods.
  (Martijn van Groningen)
5. LUCENE-4724: Fix bug in CategoryPath which allowed passing null or empty string components. This is forbidden now (throws an exception). Note that if you have a taxonomy index created with such strings, you should rebuild it.
  (Michael McCandless, Shai Erera)
6. LUCENE-4732: Fixed TermsEnum.seekCeil/seekExact on term vectors.
  (Adrien Grand, Robert Muir)
7. LUCENE-4739: Fixed bugs that prevented FSTs more than ~1.1GB from being saved and loaded
  (Adrien Grand, Mike McCandless)
8. LUCENE-4717: Fixed bug where Lucene40DocValuesFormat would sometimes write an extra unused ordinal for sorted types. The bug is detected and corrected on-the-fly for old indexes.
  (Robert Muir)
9. LUCENE-4547: Fixed bug where Lucene40DocValuesFormat was unable to encode segments that would exceed 2GB total data. This could happen in some surprising cases, for example if you had an index with more than 260M documents and a VAR_INT field.
  (Simon Willnauer, Adrien Grand, Mike McCandless, Robert Muir)
10. LUCENE-4775: Remove SegmentInfo.sizeInBytes() and make MergePolicy.OneMerge.totalBytesSize thread safe
  (Josh Bronson via Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
11. LUCENE-4770: If spatial's TermQueryPrefixTreeStrategy was used to search indexed non-point shapes, then there was an edge case where a query should find a shape but it didn't. The fix is the removal of an optimization that simplifies some leaf cells into a parent. The index data for such a field is now ~20% larger. This optimization is still done for the query shape, and for indexed data for RecursivePrefixTreeStrategy. Furthermore, this optimization is enhanced to roll up beyond the bottom cell level.
  (David Smiley, Florian Schilling)
12. LUCENE-4790: Fix FieldCacheImpl.getDocTermOrds to not bake deletes into the cached datastructure. Otherwise this can cause inconsistencies with readers at different points in time.
  (Robert Muir)
13. LUCENE-4791: A conjunction of terms (ConjunctionTermScorer) scanned on the lowest frequency term instead of skipping, leading to potentially large performance impacts for many non-random or non-uniform term distributions.
  (John Wang, yonik)
14. LUCENE-4798: PostingsHighlighter's formatter sometimes didn't highlight matched terms.
  (Robert Muir)
15. LUCENE-4796, SOLR-4373: Fix concurrency issue in NamedSPILoader and AnalysisSPILoader when doing reload (e.g. from Solr).
  (Uwe Schindler, Hossman)
16. LUCENE-4802: Don't compute norms for drill-down facet fields.
  (Mike McCandless)
17. LUCENE-4804: PostingsHighlighter sometimes applied terms to the wrong passage, if they started exactly on a passage boundary.
  (Robert Muir)
Documentation (2)
1. LUCENE-4718: Fixed documentation of oal.queryparser.classic.
  (Hayden Muhl via Adrien Grand)
2. LUCENE-4784, LUCENE-4785, LUCENE-4786: Fixed references to deprecated classes SinkTokenizer, ValueSourceQuery and RangeQuery.
  (Hao Zhong via Adrien Grand)
Build (4)
1. LUCENE-4654: Test duration statistics from multiple test runs should be reused.
  (Dawid Weiss)
2. LUCENE-4636: Upgrade ivy to 2.3.0
  (Shawn Heisey via Robert Muir)
3. LUCENE-4570: Use the Policeman Forbidden API checker, released separately from Lucene and downloaded via Ivy.
  (Uwe Schindler, Robert Muir)
4. LUCENE-4758: 'ant jar', 'ant compile', and 'ant compile-test' should recurse.
  (Steve Rowe)

Release 4.1.0 [2013-01-22]

Changes in backwards compatibility policy (16)
1. LUCENE-4514: Scorer's freq() method returns an integer value indicating the number of times the scorer matches the current document. Previously this was only sometimes the case, in some cases it returned a (meaningless) floating point value. Scorer now extends DocsEnum so it has attributes().
  (Robert Muir)
2. LUCENE-4543: TFIDFSimilarity's index-time computeNorm is now final to match the fact that its query-time norm usage requires a FIXED_8 encoding. Override lengthNorm and/or encode/decodeNormValue to change the specifics, like Lucene 3.x.
  (Robert Muir)
3. LUCENE-3441: The facet module now supports NRT. As a result, the following changes were made:
  - DirectoryTaxonomyReader has a new constructor which takes a DirectoryTaxonomyWriter. You should use that constructor in order to get the NRT support (or the old one for non-NRT).
  - TaxonomyReader.refresh() removed in exchange for TaxonomyReader.openIfChanged static method. Similar to DirectoryReader, the method either returns null if no changes were made to the taxonomy, or a new TR instance otherwise. Instead of calling refresh(), you should write similar code to how you reopen a regular DirectoryReader.
  - TaxonomyReader.openIfChanged (previously refresh()) no longer throws InconsistentTaxonomyException, and supports recreate. InconsistentTaxoEx was removed.
  - ChildrenArrays was pulled out of TaxonomyReader into a top-level class.
  - TaxonomyReader was made an abstract class (instead of an interface), with methods such as close() and reference counting management pulled from DirectoryTaxonomyReader, and made final. The rest of the methods, remained abstract.
  (Shai Erera, Gilad Barkai)
4. LUCENE-4576: Remove CachingWrapperFilter(Filter, boolean). This recacheDeletes option gave less than 1% speedup at the expense of cache churn (filters were invalidated on reopen if even a single delete was posted against the segment).
  (Robert Muir)
5. LUCENE-4575: Replace IndexWriter's commit/prepareCommit versions that take commitData with setCommitData(). That allows committing changes to IndexWriter even if the commitData is the only thing that changes.
  (Shai Erera, Michael McCandless)
6. LUCENE-4565: TaxonomyReader.getParentArray and .getChildrenArrays consolidated into one getParallelTaxonomyArrays(). You can obtain the 3 arrays that the previous two methods returned by calling parents(), children() or siblings() on the returned ParallelTaxonomyArrays.
  (Shai Erera)
7. LUCENE-4585: Spatial PrefixTree based Strategies (either TermQuery or RecursivePrefix based) MAY want to re-index if used for point data. If a re-index is not done, then an indexed point is ~1/2 the smallest grid cell larger and as such is slightly more likely to match a query shape.
  (David Smiley)
8. LUCENE-4604: DefaultOrdinalPolicy removed in favor of OrdinalPolicy.ALL_PARENTS. Same for DefaultPathPolicy (now PathPolicy.ALL_CATEGORIES). In addition, you can use OrdinalPolicy.NO_PARENTS to never write any parent category ordinal to the fulltree posting payload (but note that you need a special FacetsAccumulator - see javadocs).
  (Shai Erera)
9. LUCENE-4594: Spatial PrefixTreeStrategy no longer indexes center points of non-point shapes. If you want to call makeDistanceValueSource() based on shape centers, you need to do this yourself in another spatial field.
  (David Smiley)
10. LUCENE-4615: Replace IntArrayAllocator and FloatArrayAllocator by ArraysPool. FacetArrays no longer takes those allocators; if you need to reuse the arrays, you should use ReusingFacetArrays.
  (Shai Erera, Gilad Barkai)
11. LUCENE-4621: FacetIndexingParams is now a concrete class (instead of DefaultFIP). Also, the entire IndexingParams chain is now immutable. If you need to override a setting, you should extend the relevant class. Additionally, FacetSearchParams is now immutable, and requires all FacetRequests to specified at initialization time.
  (Shai Erera)
12. LUCENE-4647: CategoryDocumentBuilder and EnhancementsDocumentBuilder are replaced by FacetFields and AssociationsFacetFields respectively. CategoryEnhancement and AssociationEnhancement were removed in favor of a simplified CategoryAssociation interface, with CategoryIntAssociation and CategoryFloatAssociation implementations. NOTE: indexes that contain category enhancements/associations are not supported by the new code and should be recreated.
  (Shai Erera)
13. LUCENE-4659: Massive cleanup to CategoryPath API. Additionally, CategoryPath is now immutable, so you don't need to clone() it.
  (Shai Erera)
14. LUCENE-4670: StoredFieldsWriter and TermVectorsWriter have new finish* callbacks which are called after a doc/field/term has been completely added.
  (Adrien Grand, Robert Muir)
15. LUCENE-4620: IntEncoder/Decoder were changed to do bulk encoding/decoding. As a result, few other classes such as Aggregator and CategoryListIterator were changed to handle bulk category ordinals.
  (Shai Erera)
16. LUCENE-4683: CategoryListIterator and Aggregator are now per-segment. As such their implementations no longer take a top-level IndexReader in the constructor but rather implement a setNextReader.
  (Shai Erera)
New Features (14)
1. LUCENE-4226: New experimental StoredFieldsFormat that compresses chunks of documents together in order to improve the compression ratio.
  (Adrien Grand)
2. LUCENE-4426: New ValueSource implementations (in lucene/queries) for DocValues fields.
  (Adrien Grand)
3. LUCENE-4410: FilteredQuery now exposes a FilterStrategy that exposes how filters are applied during query execution.
  (Simon Willnauer)
4. LUCENE-4404: New ListOfOutputs (in lucene/misc) for FSTs wraps another Outputs implementation, allowing you to store more than one output for a single input. UpToTwoPositiveIntsOutputs was moved from lucene/core to lucene/misc.
  (Mike McCandless)
5. LUCENE-3842: New AnalyzingSuggester, for doing auto-suggest using an analyzer. This can create powerful suggesters: if the analyzer remove stop words then "ghost chr..." could suggest "The Ghost of Christmas Past"; if SynonymFilter is used to map wifi and wireless network to hotspot, then "wirele..." could suggest "wifi router"; token normalization likes stemmers, accent removal, etc. would allow the suggester to ignore such variations.
  (Robert Muir, Sudarshan Gaikaiwari, Mike McCandless)
6. LUCENE-4446: Lucene 4.1 has a new default index format (Lucene41Codec) that incorporates the previously experimental "Block" postings format for better search performance.
  (Han Jiang, Adrien Grand, Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
7. LUCENE-3846: New FuzzySuggester, like AnalyzingSuggester except it also finds completions allowing for fuzzy edits in the input string.
  (Robert Muir, Simon Willnauer, Mike McCandless)
8. LUCENE-4515: MemoryIndex now supports adding the same field multiple times.
  (Simon Willnauer)
9. LUCENE-4489: Added consumeAllTokens option to LimitTokenCountFilter
  (hossman, Robert Muir)
10. LUCENE-4566: Add NRT/SearcherManager.RefreshListener/addListener to be notified whenever a new searcher was opened.
  (selckin via Shai Erera, Mike McCandless)
11. SOLR-4123: Add per-script customizability to ICUTokenizerFactory via rule files in the ICU RuleBasedBreakIterator format.
  (Shawn Heisey, Robert Muir, Steve Rowe)
12. LUCENE-4590: Added WriteEnwikiLineDocTask - a benchmark task for writing Wikipedia category pages and non-category pages into separate line files. extractWikipedia.alg was changed to use this task, so now it creates two files.
  (Doron Cohen)
13. LUCENE-4290: Added PostingsHighlighter to the highlighter module. It uses offsets from the postings lists to highlight documents.
  (Robert Muir)
14. LUCENE-4628: Added CommonTermsQuery that executes high-frequency terms in a optional sub-query to prevent slow queries due to "common" terms like stopwords.
  (Simon Willnauer)
API Changes (11)
1. LUCENE-4399: Deprecated AppendingCodec. Lucene's term dictionaries no longer seek when writing.
  (Adrien Grand, Robert Muir)
2. LUCENE-4479: Rename TokenStream.getTokenStream(IndexReader, int, String) to TokenStream.getTokenStreamWithOffsets, and return null on failure rather than throwing IllegalArgumentException.
  (Alan Woodward)
3. LUCENE-4472: MergePolicy now accepts a MergeTrigger that provides information about the trigger of the merge ie. merge triggered due to a segment merge or a full flush etc.
  (Simon Willnauer)
4. LUCENE-4415: TermsFilter is now immutable. All terms need to be provided as constructor argument.
  (Simon Willnauer)
5. LUCENE-4520: ValueSource.getSortField no longer throws IOExceptions
  (Alan Woodward)
6. LUCENE-4537: RateLimiter is now separated from FSDirectory and exposed via RateLimitingDirectoryWrapper. Any Directory can now be rate-limited.
  (Simon Willnauer)
7. LUCENE-4591: CompressingStoredFields{Writer,Reader} now accept a segment suffix as a constructor parameter.
  (Renaud Delbru via Adrien Grand)
8. LUCENE-4605: Added DocsEnum.FLAG_NONE which can be passed instead of 0 as the flag to .docs() and .docsAndPositions().
  (Shai Erera)
9. LUCENE-4617: Remove FST.pack() method. Previously to make a packed FST, you had to make a Builder with willPackFST=true (telling it you will later pack it), create your fst with finish(), and then call pack() to get another FST. Instead just pass true for doPackFST to Builder and finish() returns a packed FST.
  (Robert Muir)
10. LUCENE-4663: Deprecate IndexSearcher.document(int, Set). This was not intended to be final, nor named document(). Use IndexSearcher.doc(int, Set) instead.
  (Robert Muir)
11. LUCENE-4684: Made DirectSpellChecker extendable.
  (Martijn van Groningen)
Bug Fixes (31)
1. LUCENE-1822: BaseFragListBuilder hard-coded 6 char margin is too naive.
  (Alex Vigdor, Arcadius Ahouansou, Koji Sekiguchi)
2. LUCENE-4468: Fix rareish integer overflows in Lucene41 postings format.
  (Robert Muir)
3. LUCENE-4486: Add support for ConstantScoreQuery in Highlighter.
  (Simon Willnauer)
4. LUCENE-4485: When CheckIndex terms, terms/docs pairs and tokens, these counts now all exclude deleted documents.
  (Mike McCandless)
5. LUCENE-4479: Highlighter works correctly for fields with term vector positions, but no offsets.
  (Alan Woodward)
6. SOLR-3906: JapaneseReadingFormFilter in romaji mode will return romaji even for out-of-vocabulary kana cases (e.g. half-width forms).
  (Robert Muir)
7. LUCENE-4511: TermsFilter might return wrong results if a field is not indexed or doesn't exist in the index.
  (Simon Willnauer)
8. LUCENE-4521: IndexWriter.tryDeleteDocument could return true (successfully deleting the document) but then on IndexWriter close/commit fail to write the new deletions, if no other changes happened in the IndexWriter instance.
  (Ivan Vasilev via Mike McCandless)
9. LUCENE-4513: Fixed that deleted nested docs are scored into the parent doc when using ToParentBlockJoinQuery.
  (Martijn van Groningen)
10. LUCENE-4534: Fixed WFSTCompletionLookup and Analyzing/FuzzySuggester to allow 0 byte values in the lookup keys.
  (Mike McCandless)
11. LUCENE-4532: DirectoryTaxonomyWriter use a timestamp to denote taxonomy index re-creation, which could cause a bug in case machine clocks were not synced. Instead, it now tracks an 'epoch' version, which is incremented whenever the taxonomy is re-created, or replaced.
  (Shai Erera)
12. LUCENE-4544: Fixed off-by-1 in ConcurrentMergeScheduler that would allow 1+maxMergeCount merges threads to be created, instead of just maxMergeCount
  (Radim Kolar, Mike McCandless)
13. LUCENE-4567: Fixed NullPointerException in analyzing, fuzzy, and WFST suggesters when no suggestions were added
  (selckin via Mike McCandless)
14. LUCENE-4568: Fixed integer overflow in PagedBytes.PagedBytesData{In,Out}put.getPosition.
  (Adrien Grand)
15. LUCENE-4581: GroupingSearch.setAllGroups(true) was failing to actually compute allMatchingGroups
  (dizh@neusoft.com via Mike McCandless)
16. LUCENE-4009: Improve TermsFilter.toString
  (Tim Costermans via Chris Male, Mike McCandless)
17. LUCENE-4588: Benchmark's EnwikiContentSource was discarding last wiki document and had leaking threads in 'forever' mode.
  (Doron Cohen)
18. LUCENE-4585: Spatial RecursivePrefixTreeFilter had some bugs that only occurred when shapes were indexed. In what appears to be rare circumstances, documents with shapes near a query shape were erroneously considered a match. In addition, it wasn't possible to index a shape representing the entire globe.
19. LUCENE-4595: EnwikiContentSource had a thread safety problem (NPE) in 'forever' mode
  (Doron Cohen)
20. LUCENE-4587: fix WordBreakSpellChecker to not throw AIOOBE when presented with 2-char codepoints, and to correctly break/combine terms containing non-latin characters.
  (James Dyer, Andreas Hubold)
21. LUCENE-4596: fix a concurrency bug in DirectoryTaxonomyWriter.
  (Shai Erera)
22. LUCENE-4594: Spatial PrefixTreeStrategy would index center-points in addition to the shape to index if it was non-point, in the same field. But sometimes the center-point isn't actually in the shape (consider a LineString), and for highly precise shapes it could cause makeDistanceValueSource's cache to load parts of the shape's boundary erroneously too. So center points aren't indexed any more; you should use another spatial field.
  (David Smiley)
23. LUCENE-4629: IndexWriter misses to delete documents if a document block is indexed and the Iterator throws an exception. Documents were only rolled back if the actual indexing process failed.
  (Simon Willnauer)
24. LUCENE-4608: Handle large number of requested fragments better.
  (Martijn van Groningen)
25. LUCENE-4633: DirectoryTaxonomyWriter.replaceTaxonomy did not refresh its internal reader, which could cause an existing category to be added twice.
  (Shai Erera)
26. LUCENE-4461: If you added the same FacetRequest more than once, you would get inconsistent results.
  (Gilad Barkai via Shai Erera)
27. LUCENE-4656: Fix regression in IndexWriter to work with empty TokenStreams that have no TermToBytesRefAttribute (commonly provided by CharTermAttribute), e.g., oal.analysis.miscellaneous.EmptyTokenStream.
  (Uwe Schindler, Adrien Grand, Robert Muir)
28. LUCENE-4660: ConcurrentMergeScheduler was taking too long to un-pause incoming threads it had paused when too many merges were queued up.
  (Mike McCandless)
29. LUCENE-4662: Add missing elided articles and prepositions to FrenchAnalyzer's DEFAULT_ARTICLES list passed to ElisionFilter.
  (David Leunen via Steve Rowe)
30. LUCENE-4671: Fix CharsRef.subSequence method.
  (Tim Smith via Robert Muir)
31. LUCENE-4465: Let ConstantScoreQuery's Scorer return its child scorer.
  (selckin via Uwe Schindler)
Changes in Runtime Behavior (2)
1. LUCENE-4586: Change default ResultMode of FacetRequest to PER_NODE_IN_TREE. This only affects requests with depth>1. If you execute such requests and rely on the facet results being returned flat (i.e. no hierarchy), you should set the ResultMode to GLOBAL_FLAT.
  (Shai Erera, Gilad Barkai)
2. LUCENE-1822: Improves the text window selection by recalculating the starting margin once all phrases in the fragment have been identified in FastVectorHighlighter. This way if a single word is matched in a fragment, it will appear in the middle of the highlight, instead of 6 characters from the beginning. This way one can also guarantee that the entirety of short texts are represented in a fragment by specifying a large enough fragCharSize.
Optimizations (16)
1. LUCENE-2221: oal.util.BitUtil was modified to use Long.bitCount and Long.numberOfTrailingZeros (which are intrinsics since Java 6u18) instead of pure java bit twiddling routines in order to improve performance on modern JVMs/hardware.
  (Dawid Weiss, Adrien Grand)
2. LUCENE-4509: Enable stored fields compression by default in the Lucene 4.1 default codec.
  (Adrien Grand)
3. LUCENE-4536: PackedInts on-disk format is now byte-aligned (it used to be long-aligned), saving up to 7 bytes per array of values.
  (Adrien Grand, Mike McCandless)
4. LUCENE-4512: Additional memory savings for CompressingStoredFieldsFormat.
  (Adrien Grand, Robert Muir)
5. LUCENE-4443: Lucene41PostingsFormat no longer writes unnecessary offsets into the skipdata.
  (Robert Muir)
6. LUCENE-4459: Improve WeakIdentityMap.keyIterator() to remove GCed keys from backing map early instead of waiting for reap(). This makes test failures in TestWeakIdentityMap disappear, too.
  (Uwe Schindler, Mike McCandless, Robert Muir)
7. LUCENE-4473: Lucene41PostingsFormat encodes offsets more efficiently for low frequency terms (< 128 occurrences).
  (Robert Muir)
8. LUCENE-4462: DocumentsWriter now flushes deletes, segment infos and builds CFS files if necessary during segment flush and not during publishing. The latter was a single threaded process while now all IO and CPU heavy computation is done concurrently in DocumentsWriterPerThread.
  (Simon Willnauer)
9. LUCENE-4496: Optimize Lucene41PostingsFormat when requesting a subset of the postings data (via flags to TermsEnum.docs/docsAndPositions) to use ForUtil.skipBlock.
  (Robert Muir)
10. LUCENE-4497: Don't write PosVIntCount to the positions file in Lucene41PostingsFormat, as it's always totalTermFreq % BLOCK_SIZE.
  (Robert Muir)
11. LUCENE-4498: In Lucene41PostingsFormat, when a term appears in only one document, Instead of writing a file pointer to a VIntBlock containing the doc id, just write the doc id.
  (Mike McCandless, Robert Muir)
12. LUCENE-4515: MemoryIndex now uses Byte/IntBlockPool internally to hold terms and posting lists. All index data is represented as consecutive byte/int arrays to reduce GC cost and memory overhead.
  (Simon Willnauer)
13. LUCENE-4538: DocValues now caches direct sources in a ThreadLocal exposed via SourceCache. Users of this API can now simply obtain an instance via DocValues#getDirectSource per thread.
  (Simon Willnauer)
14. LUCENE-4580: DrillDown.query variants return a ConstantScoreQuery with boost set to 0.0f so that documents scores are not affected by running a drill-down query.
  (Shai Erera)
15. LUCENE-4598: PayloadIterator no longer uses top-level IndexReader to iterate on the posting's payload.
  (Shai Erera, Michael McCandless)
16. LUCENE-4661: Drop default maxThreadCount to 1 and maxMergeCount to 2 in ConcurrentMergeScheduler, for faster merge performance on spinning-magnet drives
  (Mike McCandless)
Documentation (1)
1. LUCENE-4483: Refer to BytesRef.deepCopyOf in Term's constructor that takes BytesRef.
  (Paul Elschot via Robert Muir)
Build (6)
1. LUCENE-4650: Upgrade randomized testing to version 2.0.8: make the test framework more robust under low memory conditions.
  (Dawid Weiss)
2. LUCENE-4603: Upgrade randomized testing to version 2.0.5: print forked JVM PIDs on heartbeat from hung tests
  (Dawid Weiss)
3. Upgrade randomized testing to version 2.0.4: avoid hangs on shutdown hooks hanging forever by calling Runtime.halt() in addition to Runtime.exit() after a short delay to allow graceful shutdown
  (Dawid Weiss)
4. LUCENE-4451: Memory leak per unique thread caused by RandomizedContext.contexts static map. Upgrade randomized testing to version 2.0.2
  (Mike McCandless, Dawid Weiss)
5. LUCENE-4589: Upgraded benchmark module's Nekohtml dependency to version 1.9.17, removing the workaround in Lucene's HTML parser for the Turkish locale.
  (Uwe Schindler)
6. LUCENE-4601: Fix ivy availability check to use typefound, so it works if called from another build file.
  (Ryan Ernst via Robert Muir)

Release 4.0.0 [2012-10-12]

Changes in backwards compatibility policy (2)
1. LUCENE-4392: Class org.apache.lucene.util.SortedVIntList has been removed.
  (Adrien Grand)
2. LUCENE-4393: RollingCharBuffer has been moved to the o.a.l.analysis.util package of lucene-analysis-common.
  (Adrien Grand)
New Features (5)
1. LUCENE-1888: Added the option to store payloads in the term vectors (IndexableFieldType.storeTermVectorPayloads()). Note that you must store term vector positions to store payloads.
  (Robert Muir)
2. LUCENE-3892: Add a new BlockPostingsFormat that bulk-encodes docs, freqs and positions in large (size 128) packed-int blocks for faster search performance. This was from Han Jiang's 2012 Google Summer of Code project
  (Han Jiang, Adrien Grand, Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
3. LUCENE-4323: Added support for an absolute maximum CFS segment size (in MiB) to LogMergePolicy and TieredMergePolicy.
  (Alexey Lef via Uwe Schindler)
4. LUCENE-4339: Allow deletes against 3.x segments for easier upgrading. Lucene3x Codec is still otherwise read-only, you should not set it as the default Codec on IndexWriter, because it cannot write new segments.
  (Mike McCandless, Robert Muir)
5. SOLR-3441: ElisionFilterFactory is now MultiTermAware
  (Jack Krupansky via hossman)
API Changes (15)
1. LUCENE-4391, LUCENE-4440: All methods of Lucene40Codec but getPostingsFormatForField are now final. To reuse functionality of Lucene40, you should extend FilterCodec and delegate to Lucene40 instead of extending Lucene40Codec.
  (Adrien Grand, Shai Erera, Robert Muir, Uwe Schindler)
2. LUCENE-4299: Added Terms.hasPositions() and Terms.hasOffsets(). Previously you had no real way to know that a term vector field had positions or offsets, since this can be configured on a per-field-per-document basis.
  (Robert Muir)
3. Removed DocsAndPositionsEnum.hasPayload() and simplified the contract of getPayload(). It returns null if there is no payload, otherwise returns the current payload. You can now call it multiple times per position if you want.
  (Robert Muir)
4. Removed FieldsEnum. Fields API instead implements Iterable<String> and exposes Iterator, so you can iterate over field names with for (String field : fields) instead.
  (Robert Muir)
5. LUCENE-4152: added IndexReader.leaves(), which lets you enumerate the leaf atomic reader contexts for all readers in the tree.
  (Uwe Schindler, Robert Muir)
6. LUCENE-4304: removed PayloadProcessorProvider. If you want to change payloads (or other things) when merging indexes, it's recommended to just use a FilterAtomicReader + IndexWriter.addIndexes. See the OrdinalMappingAtomicReader and TaxonomyMergeUtils in the facets module if you want an example of this.
  (Mike McCandless, Uwe Schindler, Shai Erera, Robert Muir)
7. LUCENE-4304: Make CompositeReader.getSequentialSubReaders() protected. To get atomic leaves of any IndexReader use the new method leaves() (LUCENE-4152), which lists AtomicReaderContexts including the doc base of each leaf.
  (Uwe Schindler, Robert Muir)
8. LUCENE-4307: Renamed IndexReader.getTopReaderContext to IndexReader.getContext.
  (Robert Muir)
9. LUCENE-4316: Deprecate Fields.getUniqueTermCount and remove it from AtomicReader. If you really want the unique term count across all fields, just sum up Terms.size() across those fields. This method only exists so that this statistic can be accessed for Lucene 3.x segments, which don't support Terms.size().
  (Uwe Schindler, Robert Muir)
10. LUCENE-4321: Change CharFilter to extend Reader directly, as FilterReader overdelegates (read(), read(char[], int, int), skip, etc). This made it hard to implement CharFilters that were correct. Instead only close() is delegated by default: read(char[], int, int) and correct(int) are abstract so that it's obvious which methods you should implement. The protected inner Reader is 'input' like CharFilter in the 3.x series, instead of 'in'.
  (Dawid Weiss, Uwe Schindler, Robert Muir)
11. LUCENE-3309: The expert FieldSelector API, used to load only certain fields in a stored document, has been replaced with the simpler StoredFieldVisitor API.
  (Mike McCandless)
12. LUCENE-4343: Made Tokenizer.setReader final. This is a setter that should not be overridden by subclasses: per-stream initialization should happen in reset().
  (Robert Muir)
13. LUCENE-4377: Remove IndexInput.copyBytes(IndexOutput, long). Use DataOutput.copyBytes(DataInput, long) instead.
  (Mike McCandless, Robert Muir)
14. LUCENE-4355: Simplify AtomicReader's sugar methods such as termDocsEnum, termPositionsEnum, docFreq, and totalTermFreq to only take Term as a parameter. If you want to do expert things such as pass a different Bits as liveDocs, then use the flex apis (fields(), terms(), etc) directly.
  (Mike McCandless, Robert Muir)
15. LUCENE-4425: clarify documentation of StoredFieldVisitor.binaryValue and simplify the api to binaryField(FieldInfo, byte[]).
  (Adrien Grand, Robert Muir)
Bug Fixes (17)
1. LUCENE-4423: DocumentStoredFieldVisitor.binaryField ignored offset and length.
  (Adrien Grand)
2. LUCENE-4297: BooleanScorer2 would multiply the coord() factor twice for conjunctions: for most users this is no problem, but if you had a customized Similarity that returned something other than 1 when overlap == maxOverlap (always the case for conjunctions), then the score would be incorrect.
  (Pascal Chollet, Robert Muir)
3. LUCENE-4298: MultiFields.getTermDocsEnum(IndexReader, Bits, String, BytesRef) did not work at all, it would infinitely recurse.
  (Alberto Paro via Robert Muir)
4. LUCENE-4300: BooleanQuery's rewrite was not always safe: if you had a custom Similarity where coord(1,1) != 1F, then the rewritten query would be scored differently.
  (Robert Muir)
5. Don't allow negatives in the positions file. If you have an index from 2.4.0 or earlier with such negative positions, and you already upgraded to 3.x, then to Lucene 4.0-ALPHA or -BETA, you should run CheckIndex. If it fails, then you need to upgrade again to 4.0
  (Robert Muir)
6. LUCENE-4303: PhoneticFilterFactory and SnowballPorterFilterFactory load their encoders / stemmers via the ResourceLoader now instead of Class.forName(). Solr users should now no longer have to embed these in its war.
  (David Smiley)
7. SOLR-3737: StempelPolishStemFilterFactory loaded its stemmer table incorrectly. Also, ensure immutability and use only one instance of this table in RAM (lazy loaded) since it's quite large.
  (sausarkar, Steven Rowe, Robert Muir)
8. LUCENE-4310: MappingCharFilter was failing to match input strings containing non-BMP Unicode characters.
  (Dawid Weiss, Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
9. LUCENE-4224: Add in-order scorer to query time joining and the out-of-order scorer throws an UOE.
  (Martijn van Groningen, Robert Muir)
10. LUCENE-4333: Fixed NPE in TermGroupFacetCollector when faceting on mv fields.
  (Jesse MacVicar, Martijn van Groningen)
11. LUCENE-4218: Document.get(String) and Field.stringValue() again return values for numeric fields, like Lucene 3.x and consistent with the documentation.
  (Jamie, Uwe Schindler, Robert Muir)
12. NRTCachingDirectory was always caching a newly flushed segment in RAM, instead of checking the estimated size of the segment to decide whether to cache it.
  (Mike McCandless)
13. LUCENE-3720: fix memory-consumption issues with BeiderMorseFilter.
  (Thomas Neidhart via Robert Muir)
14. LUCENE-4401: Fix bug where DisjunctionSumScorer would sometimes call score() on a subscorer that had already returned NO_MORE_DOCS.
  (Liu Chao, Robert Muir)
15. LUCENE-4411: when sampling is enabled for a FacetRequest, its depth parameter is reset to the default (1), even if set otherwise.
  (Gilad Barkai via Shai Erera)
16. LUCENE-4455: Fix bug in SegmentInfoPerCommit.sizeInBytes() that was returning 2X the true size, inefficiently. Also fixed bug in CheckIndex that would report no deletions when a segment has deletions, and vice/versa.
  (Uwe Schindler, Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
17. LUCENE-4456: Fixed double-counting sizeInBytes for a segment (affects how merge policies pick merges); fixed CheckIndex's incorrect reporting of whether a segment has deletions; fixed case where on abort Lucene could remove files it didn't create; fixed many cases where IndexWriter could leave leftover files (on exception in various places, on reuse of a segment name after crash and recovery.
  (Uwe Schindler, Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
Optimizations (4)
1. LUCENE-4322: Decrease lucene-core JAR size. The core JAR size had increased a lot because of generated code introduced in LUCENE-4161 and LUCENE-3892.
  (Adrien Grand)
2. LUCENE-4317: Improve reuse of internal TokenStreams and StringReader in oal.document.Field.
  (Uwe Schindler, Chris Male, Robert Muir)
3. LUCENE-4327: Support out-of-order scoring in FilteredQuery for higher performance.
  (Mike McCandless, Robert Muir)
4. LUCENE-4364: Optimize MMapDirectory to not make a mapping per-cfs-slice, instead one map per .cfs file. This reduces the total number of maps. Additionally factor out a (package-private) generic ByteBufferIndexInput from MMapDirectory.
  (Uwe Schindler, Robert Muir)
Build (6)
1. LUCENE-4406, LUCENE-4407: Upgrade to randomizedtesting 2.0.1. Workaround for broken test output XMLs due to non-XML text unicode chars in strings. Added printing of failed tests at the end of a test run
  (Dawid Weiss)
2. LUCENE-4252: Detect/Fail tests when they leak RAM in static fields
  (Robert Muir, Dawid Weiss)
3. LUCENE-4360: Support running the same test suite multiple times in parallel
  (Dawid Weiss)
4. LUCENE-3985: Upgrade to randomizedtesting 2.0.0. Added support for thread leak detection. Added support for suite timeouts.
  (Dawid Weiss)
5. LUCENE-4354: Corrected maven dependencies to be consistent with the licenses/ folder and the binary release. Some had different versions or additional unnecessary dependencies.
  (selckin via Robert Muir)
6. LUCENE-4340: Move all non-default codec, postings format and terms dictionary implementations to lucene/codecs.
  (Adrien Grand)
Documentation (1)
1. LUCENE-4302: Fix facet userguide to have HTML loose doctype like all other javadocs.
  (Karl Nicholas via Uwe Schindler)

Release 4.0.0-BETA [2012-08-13]

New features (10)
1. LUCENE-4249: Changed the explanation of the PayloadTermWeight to use the underlying PayloadFunction's explanation as the explanation for the payload score.
  (Scott Smerchek via Robert Muir)
2. LUCENE-4069: Added BloomFilteringPostingsFormat for use with low-frequency terms such as primary keys
  (Mark Harwood, Mike McCandless)
3. LUCENE-4201: Added JapaneseIterationMarkCharFilter to normalize Japanese iteration marks.
  (Robert Muir, Christian Moen)
4. LUCENE-3832: Added BasicAutomata.makeStringUnion method to efficiently create automata from a fixed collection of UTF-8 encoded BytesRef
  (Dawid Weiss, Robert Muir)
5. LUCENE-4153: Added option to fast vector highlighting via BaseFragmentsBuilder to respect field boundaries in the case of highlighting for multivalued fields.
  (Martijn van Groningen)
6. LUCENE-4227: Added DirectPostingsFormat, to hold all postings in memory as uncompressed simple arrays. This uses a tremendous amount of RAM but gives good search performance gains.
  (Mike McCandless)
7. LUCENE-2510, LUCENE-4044: Migrated Solr's Tokenizer-, TokenFilter-, and CharFilterFactories to the lucene-analysis module. The API is still experimental.
  (Chris Male, Robert Muir, Uwe Schindler)
8. LUCENE-4230: When pulling a DocsAndPositionsEnum you can now specify whether or not you require payloads (in addition to offsets); turning one or both off may allow some codec implementations to optimize the enum implementation.
  (Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
9. LUCENE-4203: Add IndexWriter.tryDeleteDocument(AtomicReader reader, int docID), to attempt deletion by docID as long as the provided reader is an NRT reader, and the segment has not yet been merged away
  (Mike McCandless).
10. LUCENE-4286: Added option to CJKBigramFilter to always also output unigrams. This can be used for a unigram+bigram approach, or at index-time only for better support of short queries.
  (Tom Burton-West, Robert Muir)
API Changes (12)
1. LUCENE-4138: update of morfologik (Polish morphological analyzer) to 1.5.3. The tag attribute class has been renamed to MorphosyntacticTagsAttribute and has a different API (carries a list of tags instead of a compound tag). Upgrade of embedded morfologik dictionaries to version 1.9.
  (Dawid Weiss)
2. LUCENE-4178: set 'tokenized' to true on FieldType by default, so that if you make a custom FieldType and set indexed = true, it's analyzed by the analyzer.
  (Robert Muir)
3. LUCENE-4220: Removed the buggy JavaCC-based HTML parser in the benchmark module and replaced by NekoHTML. HTMLParser interface was cleaned up while changing method signatures.
  (Uwe Schindler, Robert Muir)
4. LUCENE-2191: Rename Tokenizer.reset(Reader) to Tokenizer.setReader(Reader). The purpose of this method was always to set a new Reader on the Tokenizer, reusing the object. But the name was often confused with TokenStream.reset().
  (Robert Muir)
5. LUCENE-4228: Refactored CharFilter to extend java.io.FilterReader. CharFilters filter another reader and you override correct() for offset correction.
  (Robert Muir)
6. LUCENE-4240: Analyzer api now just takes fieldName for getOffsetGap. If the field is not analyzed (e.g. StringField), then the analyzer is not invoked at all. If you want to tweak things like positionIncrementGap and offsetGap, analyze the field with KeywordTokenizer instead.
  (Grant Ingersoll, Robert Muir)
7. LUCENE-4250: Pass fieldName to the PayloadFunction explain method, so it parallels with docScore and the default implementation is correct.
  (Robert Muir)
8. LUCENE-3747: Support Unicode 6.1.0.
  (Steve Rowe)
9. LUCENE-3884: Moved ElisionFilter out of org.apache.lucene.analysis.fr package into org.apache.lucene.analysis.util.
  (Robert Muir)
10. LUCENE-4230: When pulling a DocsAndPositionsEnum you now pass an int flags instead of the previous boolean needOffsets. Currently recognized flags are DocsAndPositionsEnum.FLAG_PAYLOADS and DocsAndPositionsEnum.FLAG_OFFSETS
  (Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
11. LUCENE-4273: When pulling a DocsEnum, you can pass an int flags instead of the previous boolean needsFlags; consistent with the changes for DocsAndPositionsEnum in LUCENE-4230. Currently the only flag is DocsEnum.FLAG_FREQS.
  (Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
12. LUCENE-3616: TextField(String, Reader, Store) was reduced to TextField(String, Reader), as the Store parameter didn't make sense: if you supplied Store.YES, you would only receive an exception anyway.
  (Robert Muir)
Optimizations (5)
1. LUCENE-4171: Performance improvements to Packed64.
  (Toke Eskildsen via Adrien Grand)
2. LUCENE-4184: Performance improvements to the aligned packed bits impl.
  (Toke Eskildsen, Adrien Grand)
3. LUCENE-4235: Remove enforcing of Filter rewrite for NRQ queries.
  (Uwe Schindler)
4. LUCENE-4279: Regenerated snowball Stemmers from snowball r554, making them substantially more lightweight. Behavior is unchanged.
  (Robert Muir)
5. LUCENE-4291: Reduced internal buffer size for Jflex-based tokenizers such as StandardTokenizer from 32kb to 8kb.
  (Raintung Li, Steven Rowe, Robert Muir)
Bug Fixes (13)
1. LUCENE-4109: BooleanQueries are not parsed correctly with the flexible query parser.
  (Karsten Rauch via Robert Muir)
2. LUCENE-4176: Fix AnalyzingQueryParser to analyze range endpoints as bytes, so that it works correctly with Analyzers that produce binary non-UTF-8 terms such as CollationAnalyzer.
  (Nattapong Sirilappanich via Robert Muir)
3. LUCENE-4209: Fix FSTCompletionLookup to close its sorter, so that it won't leave temp files behind in /tmp. Fix SortedTermFreqIteratorWrapper to not leave temp files behind in /tmp on Windows. Fix Sort to not leave temp files behind when /tmp is a separate volume.
  (Uwe Schindler, Robert Muir)
4. LUCENE-4221: Fix overeager CheckIndex validation for term vector offsets.
  (Robert Muir)
5. LUCENE-4222: TieredMergePolicy.getFloorSegmentMB was returning the size in bytes not MB
  (Chris Fuller via Mike McCandless)
6. LUCENE-3505: Fix bug (Lucene 4.0alpha only) where boolean conjunctions were sometimes scored incorrectly. Conjunctions of only termqueries where at least one term omitted term frequencies (IndexOptions.DOCS_ONLY) would be scored as if all terms omitted term frequencies.
  (Robert Muir)
7. LUCENE-2686, LUCENE-3505: Fixed BooleanQuery scorers to return correct freq(). Added support for scorer navigation API (Scorer.getChildren) to all queries. Made Scorer.freq() abstract.
  (Koji Sekiguchi, Mike McCandless, Robert Muir)
8. LUCENE-4234: Exception when FacetsCollector is used with ScoreFacetRequest, and the number of matching documents is too large.
  (Gilad Barkai via Shai Erera)
9. LUCENE-4245: Make IndexWriter#close() and MergeScheduler#close() non-interruptible.
  (Mark Miller, Uwe Schindler)
10. LUCENE-4190: restrict allowed filenames that a codec may create to the patterns recognized by IndexFileNames. This also fixes IndexWriter to only delete files matching this pattern from an index directory, to reduce risk when the wrong index path is accidentally passed to IndexWriter
  (Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
11. LUCENE-4277: Fix IndexWriter deadlock during rollback if flushable DWPT instance are already checked out and queued up but not yet flushed.
  (Simon Willnauer)
12. LUCENE-4282: Automaton FuzzyQuery didn't always deliver all results.
  (Johannes Christen, Uwe Schindler, Robert Muir)
13. LUCENE-4289: Fix minor idf inconsistencies/inefficiencies in highlighter.
  (Robert Muir)
Changes in Runtime Behavior (2)
1. LUCENE-4109: Enable position increments in the flexible queryparser by default.
  (Karsten Rauch via Robert Muir)
2. LUCENE-3616: Field throws exception if you try to set a boost on an unindexed field or one that omits norms.
  (Robert Muir)
Build (7)
1. LUCENE-4094: Support overriding file.encoding on forked test JVMs (force via -Drandomized.file.encoding=XXX).
  (Dawid Weiss)
2. LUCENE-4189: Test output should include timestamps (start/end for each test/ suite). Added -Dtests.timestamps=[off by default].
  (Dawid Weiss)
3. LUCENE-4110: Report long periods of forked jvm inactivity (hung tests/ suites). Added -Dtests.heartbeat=[seconds] with the default of 60 seconds.
  (Dawid Weiss)
4. LUCENE-4160: Added a property to quit the tests after a given number of failures has occurred. This is useful in combination with -Dtests.iters=N (you can start N iterations and wait for M failures, in particular M = 1). -Dtests.maxfailures=M. Alternatively, specify -Dtests.failfast=true to skip all tests after the first failure.
  (Dawid Weiss)
5. LUCENE-4115: JAR resolution/ cleanup should be done automatically for ant clean/ eclipse/ resolve
  (Dawid Weiss)
6. LUCENE-4199, LUCENE-4202, LUCENE-4206: Add a new target "check-forbidden-apis" that parses all generated .class files for use of APIs that use default charset, default locale, or default timezone and fail build if violations found. This ensures, that Lucene / Solr is independent on local configuration options.
  (Uwe Schindler, Robert Muir, Dawid Weiss)
7. LUCENE-4217: Add the possibility to run tests with Atlassian Clover loaded from IVY. A development License solely for Apache code was added in the tools/ folder, but is not included in releases.
  (Uwe Schindler)
Documentation (1)
1. LUCENE-4195: Added package documentation and examples for org.apache.lucene.codecs
  (Alan Woodward via Robert Muir)

For "contrib" changes prior to 4.0, please see: http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/lucene/dev/tags/lucene_solr_3_6_0/lucene/contrib/CHANGES.txt
Changes in backwards compatibility policy (42)
1. LUCENE-1458, LUCENE-2111, LUCENE-2354: Changes from flexible indexing:
  - On upgrading to 4.0, if you do not fully reindex your documents, Lucene will emulate the new flex API on top of the old index, incurring some performance cost (up to ~10% slowdown, typically). To prevent this slowdown, use oal.index.IndexUpgrader to upgrade your indexes to latest file format (LUCENE-3082).
  - Mixed flex/pre-flex indexes are perfectly fine -- the two emulation layers (flex API on pre-flex index, and pre-flex API on flex index) will remap the access as required. So on upgrading to 4.0 you can start indexing new documents into an existing index. To get optimal performance, use oal.index.IndexUpgrader to upgrade your indexes to latest file format (LUCENE-3082).
  - The postings APIs (TermEnum, TermDocsEnum, TermPositionsEnum) have been removed in favor of the new flexible indexing (flex) APIs (Fields, FieldsEnum, Terms, TermsEnum, DocsEnum, DocsAndPositionsEnum). One big difference is that field and terms are now enumerated separately: a TermsEnum provides a BytesRef (wraps a byte[]) per term within a single field, not a Term. Another is that when asking for a Docs/AndPositionsEnum, you now specify the skipDocs explicitly (typically this will be the deleted docs, but in general you can provide any Bits).
  - The term vectors APIs (TermFreqVector, TermPositionVector, TermVectorMapper) have been removed in favor of the above flexible indexing APIs, presenting a single-document inverted index of the document from the term vectors.
  - MultiReader ctor now throws IOException
  - Directory.copy/Directory.copyTo now copies all files (not just index files), since what is and isn't and index file is now dependent on the codecs used.
  - UnicodeUtil now uses BytesRef for UTF-8 output, and some method signatures have changed to CharSequence. These are internal APIs and subject to change suddenly.
  - Positional queries (PhraseQuery, *SpanQuery) will now throw an exception if use them on a field that omits positions during indexing (previously they silently returned no results).
  - FieldCache.{Byte,Short,Int,Long,Float,Double}Parser's API has changed -- each parse method now takes a BytesRef instead of a String. If you have an existing Parser, a simple way to fix it is invoke BytesRef.utf8ToString, and pass that String to your existing parser. This will work, but performance would be better if you could fix your parser to instead operate directly on the byte[] in the BytesRef.
  - The internal (experimental) API of NumericUtils changed completely from String to BytesRef. Client code should never use this class, so the change would normally not affect you. If you used some of the methods to inspect terms or create TermQueries out of prefix encoded terms, change to use BytesRef. Please note: Do not use TermQueries to search for single numeric terms. The recommended way is to create a corresponding NumericRangeQuery with upper and lower bound equal and included. TermQueries do not score correct, so the constant score mode of NRQ is the only correct way to handle single value queries.
  - NumericTokenStream now works directly on byte[] terms. If you plug a TokenFilter on top of this stream, you will likely get an IllegalArgumentException, because the NTS does not support TermAttribute/CharTermAttribute. If you want to further filter or attach Payloads to NTS, use the new NumericTermAttribute.
  (Mike McCandless, Robert Muir, Uwe Schindler, Mark Miller, Michael Busch)
2. LUCENE-2858, LUCENE-3733: IndexReader was refactored into abstract AtomicReader, CompositeReader, and DirectoryReader. To open Directory- based indexes use DirectoryReader.open(), the corresponding method in IndexReader is now deprecated for easier migration. Only DirectoryReader supports commits, versions, and reopening with openIfChanged(). Terms, postings, docvalues, and norms can from now on only be retrieved using AtomicReader; DirectoryReader and MultiReader extend CompositeReader, only offering stored fields and access to the sub-readers (which may be composite or atomic). SlowCompositeReaderWrapper (LUCENE-2597) can be used to emulate atomic readers on top of composites. Please review MIGRATE.txt for information how to migrate old code.
  (Uwe Schindler, Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
3. LUCENE-2265: FuzzyQuery and WildcardQuery now operate on Unicode codepoints, not unicode code units. For example, a Wildcard "?" represents any unicode character. Furthermore, the rest of the automaton package and RegexpQuery use true Unicode codepoint representation.
  (Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
4. LUCENE-2380: The String-based FieldCache methods (getStrings, getStringIndex) have been replaced with BytesRef-based equivalents (getTerms, getTermsIndex). Also, the sort values (returned in FieldDoc.fields) when sorting by SortField.STRING or SortField.STRING_VAL are now BytesRef instances. See MIGRATE.txt for more details.
  (yonik, Mike McCandless)
5. LUCENE-2480: Though not a change in backwards compatibility policy, pre-3.0 indexes are no longer supported. You should upgrade to 3.x first, then run optimize(), or reindex.
  (Shai Erera, Earwin Burrfoot)
6. LUCENE-2484: Removed deprecated TermAttribute. Use CharTermAttribute and TermToBytesRefAttribute instead.
  (Uwe Schindler)
7. LUCENE-2600: Remove IndexReader.isDeleted in favor of AtomicReader.getDeletedDocs().
  (Mike McCandless)
8. LUCENE-2667: FuzzyQuery's defaults have changed for more performant behavior: the minimum similarity is 2 edit distances from the word, and the priority queue size is 50. To support this, FuzzyQuery now allows specifying unscaled edit distances (foobar~2). If your application depends upon the old defaults of 0.5 (scaled) minimum similarity and Integer.MAX_VALUE priority queue size, you can use FuzzyQuery(Term, float, int, int) to specify those explicitly.
9. LUCENE-2674: MultiTermQuery.TermCollector.collect now accepts the TermsEnum as well.
  (Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
10. LUCENE-588: WildcardQuery and QueryParser now allows escaping with the '\' character. Previously this was impossible (you could not escape */?, for example). If your code somehow depends on the old behavior, you will need to change it (e.g. using "\\" to escape '\' itself).
  (Sunil Kamath, Terry Yang via Robert Muir)
11. LUCENE-2837: Collapsed Searcher, Searchable into IndexSearcher; removed contrib/remote and MultiSearcher (Mike McCandless); absorbed ParallelMultiSearcher into IndexSearcher as an optional ExecutorServiced passed to its ctor.
  (Mike McCandless)
12. LUCENE-2908, LUCENE-4037: Removed serialization code from lucene classes. It is recommended that you serialize user search needs at a higher level in your application.
  (Robert Muir, Benson Margulies)
13. LUCENE-2831: Changed Weight#scorer, Weight#explain & Filter#getDocIdSet to operate on a AtomicReaderContext instead of directly on IndexReader to enable searches to be aware of IndexSearcher's context.
  (Simon Willnauer)
14. LUCENE-2839: Scorer#score(Collector,int,int) is now public because it is called from other classes and part of public API.
  (Uwe Schindler)
15. LUCENE-2865: Weight#scorer(AtomicReaderContext, boolean, boolean) now accepts a ScorerContext struct instead of booleans.(Simon Willnauer)
16. LUCENE-2882: Cut over SpanQuery#getSpans to AtomicReaderContext to enforce per segment semantics on SpanQuery & Spans.
  (Simon Willnauer)
17. LUCENE-2236: Similarity can now be configured on a per-field basis. See the migration notes in MIGRATE.txt for more details.
  (Robert Muir, Doron Cohen)
18. LUCENE-2315: AttributeSource's methods for accessing attributes are now final, else it's easy to corrupt the internal states.
  (Uwe Schindler)
19. LUCENE-2814: The IndexWriter.flush method no longer takes "boolean flushDocStores" argument, as we now always flush doc stores (index files holding stored fields and term vectors) while flushing a segment.
  (Mike McCandless)
20. LUCENE-2548: Field names (eg in Term, FieldInfo) are no longer interned.
  (Mike McCandless)
21. LUCENE-2883: The contents of o.a.l.search.function has been consolidated into the queries module and can be found at o.a.l.queries.function. See MIGRATE.txt for more information
  (Chris Male)
22. LUCENE-2392, LUCENE-3299: Decoupled vector space scoring from Query/Weight/Scorer. If you extended Similarity directly before, you should extend TFIDFSimilarity instead. Similarity is now a lower-level API to implement other scoring algorithms. See MIGRATE.txt for more details.
  (David Nemeskey, Simon Willnauer, Mike McCandless, Robert Muir)
23. LUCENE-3330: The expert visitor API in Scorer has been simplified and extended to support arbitrary relationships. To navigate to a scorer's children, call Scorer.getChildren().
  (Robert Muir)
24. LUCENE-2308: Field is now instantiated with an instance of IndexableFieldType, of which there is a core implementation FieldType. Most properties describing a Field have been moved to IndexableFieldType. See MIGRATE.txt for more details.
  (Nikola Tankovic, Mike McCandless, Chris Male)
25. LUCENE-3396: ReusableAnalyzerBase.TokenStreamComponents.reset(Reader) now returns void instead of boolean. If a Component cannot be reset, it should throw an Exception.
  (Chris Male)
26. LUCENE-3396: ReusableAnalyzerBase has been renamed to Analyzer. All Analyzer implementations must now use Analyzer.TokenStreamComponents, rather than overriding .tokenStream() and .reusableTokenStream() (which are now final).
  (Chris Male)
27. LUCENE-3346: Analyzer.reusableTokenStream() has been renamed to tokenStream() with the old tokenStream() method removed. Consequently it is now mandatory for all Analyzers to support reusability.
  (Chris Male)
28. LUCENE-3473: AtomicReader.getUniqueTermCount() no longer throws UOE when it cannot be easily determined. Instead, it returns -1 to be consistent with this behavior across other index statistics.
  (Robert Muir)
29. LUCENE-1536: The abstract FilteredDocIdSet.match() method is no longer allowed to throw IOException. This change was required to make it conform to the Bits interface. This method should never do I/O for performance reasons.
  (Mike McCandless, Uwe Schindler, Robert Muir, Chris Male, Yonik Seeley, Jason Rutherglen, Paul Elschot)
30. LUCENE-3559: The methods "docFreq" and "maxDoc" on IndexSearcher were removed, as these are no longer used by the scoring system. See MIGRATE.txt for more details.
  (Robert Muir)
31. LUCENE-3533: Removed SpanFilters, they created large lists of objects and did not scale.
  (Robert Muir)
32. LUCENE-3606: IndexReader and subclasses were made read-only. It is no longer possible to delete or undelete documents using IndexReader; you have to use IndexWriter now. As deleting by internal Lucene docID is no longer possible, this requires adding a unique identifier field to your index. Deleting/ relying upon Lucene docIDs is not recommended anyway, because they can change. Consequently commit() was removed and DirectoryReader.open(), openIfChanged() no longer take readOnly booleans or IndexDeletionPolicy instances. Furthermore, IndexReader.setNorm() was removed. If you need customized norm values, the recommended way to do this is by modifying Similarity to use an external byte[] or one of the new DocValues fields (LUCENE-3108). Alternatively, to dynamically change norms (boost *and* length norm) at query time, wrap your AtomicReader using FilterAtomicReader, overriding FilterAtomicReader.norms(). To persist the changes on disk, copy the FilteredIndexReader to a new index using IndexWriter.addIndexes().
  (Uwe Schindler, Robert Muir)
33. LUCENE-3640: Removed IndexSearcher.close(), because IndexSearcher no longer takes a Directory and no longer "manages" IndexReaders, it is a no-op.
  (Robert Muir)
34. LUCENE-3684: Add offsets into DocsAndPositionsEnum, and a few FieldInfo.IndexOption: DOCS_AND_POSITIONS_AND_OFFSETS.
  (Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
35. LUCENE-2858, LUCENE-3770: FilterIndexReader was renamed to FilterAtomicReader and now extends AtomicReader. If you want to filter composite readers like DirectoryReader or MultiReader, filter their atomic leaves and build a new CompositeReader (e.g. MultiReader) around them.
  (Uwe Schindler, Robert Muir)
36. LUCENE-3736: ParallelReader was split into ParallelAtomicReader and ParallelCompositeReader. Lucene 3.x's ParallelReader is now ParallelAtomicReader; but the new composite variant has improved performance as it works on the atomic subreaders. It requires that all parallel composite readers have the same subreader structure. If you cannot provide this, you can use SlowCompositeReaderWrapper to make all parallel readers atomic and use ParallelAtomicReader.
  (Uwe Schindler, Mike McCandless, Robert Muir)
37. LUCENE-2000: clone() now returns covariant types where possible.
  (ryan)
38. LUCENE-3970: Rename Fields.getUniqueFieldCount -> .size() and Terms.getUniqueTermCount -> .size().
  (Iulius Curt via Mike McCandless)
39. LUCENE-3514: IndexSearcher.setDefaultFieldSortScoring was removed and replaced with per-search control via new expert search methods that take two booleans indicating whether hit scores and max score should be computed.
  (Mike McCandless)
40. LUCENE-4055: You can't put foreign files into the index dir anymore.
41. LUCENE-3866: CompositeReader.getSequentialSubReaders() now returns unmodifiable List<? extends IndexReader>. ReaderUtil.Gather was removed, as IndexReaderContext.leaves() is now the preferred way to access sub-readers.
  (Uwe Schindler)
42. LUCENE-4155: oal.util.ReaderUtil, TwoPhaseCommit, TwoPhaseCommitTool classes were moved to oal.index package. oal.util.CodecUtil class was moved to oal.codecs package. oal.util.DummyConcurrentLock was removed (no longer used in Lucene 4.0).
  (Uwe Schindler)
Changes in Runtime Behavior (11)
1. LUCENE-2846: omitNorms now behaves like omitTermFrequencyAndPositions, if you omitNorms(true) for field "a" for 1000 documents, but then add a document with omitNorms(false) for field "a", all documents for field "a" will have no norms. Previously, Lucene would fill the first 1000 documents with "fake norms" from Similarity.getDefault().
  (Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
2. LUCENE-2846: When some documents contain field "a", and others do not, the documents that don't have the field get a norm byte value of 0. Previously, Lucene would populate "fake norms" with Similarity.getDefault() for these documents.
  (Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
3. LUCENE-2720: IndexWriter throws IndexFormatTooOldException on open, rather than later when e.g. a merge starts.
  (Shai Erera, Mike McCandless, Uwe Schindler)
4. LUCENE-2881: FieldInfos is now tracked per segment. Before it was tracked per IndexWriter session, which resulted in FieldInfos that had the FieldInfo properties from all previous segments combined. Field numbers are now tracked globally across IndexWriter sessions and persisted into a _X.fnx file on successful commit. The corresponding file format changes are backwards- compatible.
  (Michael Busch, Simon Willnauer)
5. LUCENE-2956, LUCENE-2573, LUCENE-2324, LUCENE-2555: Changes from DocumentsWriterPerThread:
  - IndexWriter now uses a DocumentsWriter per thread when indexing documents. Each DocumentsWriterPerThread indexes documents in its own private segment, and the in memory segments are no longer merged on flush. Instead, each segment is separately flushed to disk and subsequently merged with normal segment merging.
  - DocumentsWriterPerThread (DWPT) is now flushed concurrently based on a FlushPolicy. When a DWPT is flushed, a fresh DWPT is swapped in so that indexing may continue concurrently with flushing. The selected DWPT flushes all its RAM resident documents do disk. Note: Segment flushes don't flush all RAM resident documents but only the documents private to the DWPT selected for flushing.
  - Flushing is now controlled by FlushPolicy that is called for every add, update or delete on IndexWriter. By default DWPTs are flushed either on maxBufferedDocs per DWPT or the global active used memory. Once the active memory exceeds ramBufferSizeMB only the largest DWPT is selected for flushing and the memory used by this DWPT is subtracted from the active memory and added to a flushing memory pool, which can lead to temporarily higher memory usage due to ongoing indexing.
  - IndexWriter now can utilize ramBufferSize > 2048 MB. Each DWPT can address up to 2048 MB memory such that the ramBufferSize is now bounded by the max number of DWPT available in the used DocumentsWriterPerThreadPool. IndexWriters net memory consumption can grow far beyond the 2048 MB limit if the application can use all available DWPTs. To prevent a DWPT from exhausting its address space IndexWriter will forcefully flush a DWPT if its hard memory limit is exceeded. The RAMPerThreadHardLimitMB can be controlled via IndexWriterConfig and defaults to 1945 MB. Since IndexWriter flushes DWPT concurrently not all memory is released immediately. Applications should still use a ramBufferSize significantly lower than the JVMs available heap memory since under high load multiple flushing DWPT can consume substantial transient memory when IO performance is slow relative to indexing rate.
  - IndexWriter#commit now doesn't block concurrent indexing while flushing all 'currently' RAM resident documents to disk. Yet, flushes that occur while a a full flush is running are queued and will happen after all DWPT involved in the full flush are done flushing. Applications using multiple threads during indexing and trigger a full flush (eg call commit() or open a new NRT reader) can use significantly more transient memory.
  - IndexWriter#addDocument and IndexWriter.updateDocument can block indexing threads if the number of active + number of flushing DWPT exceed a safety limit. By default this happens if 2 * max number available thread states (DWPTPool) is exceeded. This safety limit prevents applications from exhausting their available memory if flushing can't keep up with concurrently indexing threads.
  - IndexWriter only applies and flushes deletes if the maxBufferedDelTerms limit is reached during indexing. No segment flushes will be triggered due to this setting.
  - IndexWriter#flush(boolean, boolean) doesn't synchronized on IndexWriter anymore. A dedicated flushLock has been introduced to prevent multiple full- flushes happening concurrently.
  - DocumentsWriter doesn't write shared doc stores anymore.
  (Mike McCandless, Michael Busch, Simon Willnauer)
6. LUCENE-3309: Stored fields no longer record whether they were tokenized or not. In general you should not rely on stored fields to record any "metadata" from indexing (tokenized, omitNorms, IndexOptions, boost, etc.)
  (Mike McCandless)
7. LUCENE-3309: Fast vector highlighter now inserts the MultiValuedSeparator for NOT_ANALYZED fields (in addition to ANALYZED fields). To ensure your offsets are correct you should provide an analyzer that returns 1 from the offsetGap method.
  (Mike McCandless)
8. LUCENE-2621: Removed contrib/instantiated.
  (Robert Muir)
9. LUCENE-1768: StandardQueryTreeBuilder no longer uses RangeQueryNodeBuilder for RangeQueryNodes, since theses two classes were removed; TermRangeQueryNodeProcessor now creates TermRangeQueryNode, instead of RangeQueryNode; the same applies for numeric nodes;
  (Vinicius Barros via Uwe Schindler)
10. LUCENE-3455: QueryParserBase.newFieldQuery() will throw a ParseException if any of the calls to the Analyzer throw an IOException. QueryParseBase.analyzeRangePart() will throw a RuntimeException if an IOException is thrown by the Analyzer.
11. LUCENE-4127: IndexWriter will now throw IllegalArgumentException if the first token of an indexed field has 0 positionIncrement (previously it silently corrected it to 1, possibly masking bugs). OffsetAttributeImpl will throw IllegalArgumentException if startOffset is less than endOffset, or if offsets are negative.
  (Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
API Changes (35)
1. LUCENE-2302, LUCENE-1458, LUCENE-2111, LUCENE-2514: Terms are no longer required to be character based. Lucene views a term as an arbitrary byte[]: during analysis, character-based terms are converted to UTF8 byte[], but analyzers are free to directly create terms as byte[] (NumericField does this, for example). The term data is buffered as byte[] during indexing, written as byte[] into the terms dictionary, and iterated as byte[] (wrapped in a BytesRef) by IndexReader for searching.
2. LUCENE-1458, LUCENE-2111: AtomicReader now directly exposes its deleted docs (getDeletedDocs), providing a new Bits interface to directly query by doc ID.
3. LUCENE-2691: IndexWriter.getReader() has been made package local and is now exposed via open and reopen methods on DirectoryReader. The semantics of the call is the same as it was prior to the API change.
  (Grant Ingersoll, Mike McCandless)
4. LUCENE-2566: QueryParser: Unary operators +,-,! will not be treated as operators if they are followed by whitespace.
  (yonik)
5. LUCENE-2831: Weight#scorer, Weight#explain, Filter#getDocIdSet, Collector#setNextReader & FieldComparator#setNextReader now expect an AtomicReaderContext instead of an IndexReader.
  (Simon Willnauer)
6. LUCENE-2892: Add QueryParser.newFieldQuery (called by getFieldQuery by default) which takes Analyzer as a parameter, for easier customization by subclasses.
  (Robert Muir)
7. LUCENE-2953: In addition to changes in 3.x, PriorityQueue#initialize(int) function was moved into the ctor.
  (Uwe Schindler, Yonik Seeley)
8. LUCENE-3219: SortField type properties have been moved to an enum SortField.Type. In be consistent, CachedArrayCreator.getSortTypeID() has been changed CachedArrayCreator.getSortType().
  (Chris Male)
9. LUCENE-3225: Add TermsEnum.seekExact for faster seeking when you don't need the ceiling term; renamed existing seek methods to either seekCeil or seekExact; changed seekExact(ord) to return no value. Fixed MemoryCodec and SimpleTextCodec to optimize the seekExact case, and fixed places in Lucene to use seekExact when possible.
  (Mike McCandless)
10. LUCENE-1536: Filter.getDocIdSet() now takes an acceptDocs Bits interface (like Scorer) limiting the documents that can appear in the returned DocIdSet. Filters are now required to respect these acceptDocs, otherwise deleted documents may get returned by searches. Most filters will pass these Bits down to DocsEnum, but those, e.g. working on FieldCache, may need to use BitsFilteredDocIdSet.wrap() to exclude them.
  (Mike McCandless, Uwe Schindler, Robert Muir, Chris Male, Yonik Seeley, Jason Rutherglen, Paul Elschot)
11. LUCENE-3722: Similarity methods and collection/term statistics now take long instead of int (to enable distributed scoring of > 2B docs).
  (Yonik Seeley, Andrzej Bialecki, Robert Muir)
12. LUCENE-3761: Generalize SearcherManager into an abstract ReferenceManager. SearcherManager remains a concrete class, but due to the refactoring, the method maybeReopen has been deprecated in favor of maybeRefresh().
  (Shai Erera, Mike McCandless, Simon Willnauer)
13. LUCENE-3859: AtomicReader.hasNorms(field) is deprecated, instead you can inspect the FieldInfo yourself to see if norms are present, which also allows you to get the type.
  (Robert Muir)
14. LUCENE-2606: Changed RegexCapabilities interface to fix thread safety, serialization, and performance problems. If you have written a custom RegexCapabilities it will need to be updated to the new API.
  (Robert Muir, Uwe Schindler)
15. LUCENE-2638 MakeHighFreqTerms.TermStats public to make it more useful for API use.
  (Andrzej Bialecki)
16. LUCENE-2912: The field-specific hashmaps in SweetSpotSimilarity were removed. Instead, use PerFieldSimilarityWrapper to return different SweetSpotSimilaritys for different fields, this way all parameters (such as TF factors) can be customized on a per-field basis.
  (Robert Muir)
17. LUCENE-3308: DuplicateFilter keepMode and processingMode have been converted to enums DuplicateFilter.KeepMode and DuplicateFilter.ProcessingMode respectively.
18. LUCENE-3483: Move Function grouping collectors from Solr to grouping module.
  (Martijn van Groningen)
19. LUCENE-3606: FieldNormModifier was deprecated, because IndexReader's setNorm() was deprecated. Furthermore, this class is broken, as it does not take position overlaps into account while recalculating norms.
  (Uwe Schindler, Robert Muir)
20. LUCENE-3936: Renamed StringIndexDocValues to DocTermsIndexDocValues.
  (Martijn van Groningen)
21. LUCENE-1768: Deprecated Parametric(Range)QueryNode, RangeQueryNode(Builder), ParametricRangeQueryNodeProcessor were removed.
  (Vinicius Barros via Uwe Schindler)
22. LUCENE-3820: Deprecated constructors accepting pattern matching bounds. The input is buffered and matched in one pass.
  (Dawid Weiss)
23. LUCENE-2413: Deprecated PatternAnalyzer in common/miscellaneous, in favor of the pattern package (CharFilter, Tokenizer, TokenFilter).
  (Robert Muir)
24. LUCENE-2413: Removed the AnalyzerUtil in common/miscellaneous.
  (Robert Muir)
25. LUCENE-1370: Added ShingleFilter option to output unigrams if no shingles can be generated.
  (Chris Harris via Steven Rowe)
26. LUCENE-2514, LUCENE-2551: JDK and ICU CollationKeyAnalyzers were changed to use pure byte keys when Version >= 4.0. This cuts sort key size approximately in half.
  (Robert Muir)
27. LUCENE-3400: Removed DutchAnalyzer.setStemDictionary
  (Chris Male)
28. LUCENE-3431: Removed QueryAutoStopWordAnalyzer.addStopWords* deprecated methods since they prevented reuse. Stopwords are now generated at instantiation through the Analyzer's constructors.
  (Chris Male)
29. LUCENE-3434: Removed ShingleAnalyzerWrapper.set* and PerFieldAnalyzerWrapper.addAnalyzer since they prevent reuse. Both Analyzers should be configured at instantiation.
  (Chris Male)
30. LUCENE-3765: Stopset ctors that previously took Set<?> or Map<?,String> now take CharArraySet and CharArrayMap respectively. Previously the behavior was confusing, and sometimes different depending on the type of set, and ultimately a CharArraySet or CharArrayMap was always used anyway.
  (Robert Muir)
31. LUCENE-3830: Switched to NormalizeCharMap.Builder to create immutable instances of NormalizeCharMap.
  (Dawid Weiss, Mike McCandless)
32. LUCENE-4063: FrenchLightStemmer no longer deletes repeated digits.
  (Tanguy Moal via Steve Rowe)
33. LUCENE-4122: Replace Payload with BytesRef.
  (Andrzej Bialecki)
34. LUCENE-4132: IndexWriter.getConfig() now returns a LiveIndexWriterConfig object which can be used to change the IndexWriter's live settings. IndexWriterConfig is used only for initializing the IndexWriter.
  (Shai Erera)
35. LUCENE-3866: IndexReaderContext.leaves() is now the preferred way to access atomic sub-readers of any kind of IndexReader (for AtomicReaders it returns itself as only leaf with docBase=0).
  (Uwe Schindler)
New features (66)
1. LUCENE-2604: Added RegexpQuery support to QueryParser. Regular expressions are directly supported by the standard queryparser via fieldName:/expression/ OR /expression against default field/ Users who wish to search for literal "/" characters are advised to backslash-escape or quote those characters as needed.
  (Simon Willnauer, Robert Muir)
2. LUCENE-1606, LUCENE-2089: Adds AutomatonQuery, a MultiTermQuery that matches terms against a finite-state machine. Implement WildcardQuery and FuzzyQuery with finite-state methods. Adds RegexpQuery.
  (Robert Muir, Mike McCandless, Uwe Schindler, Mark Miller)
3. LUCENE-3662: Add support for levenshtein distance with transpositions to LevenshteinAutomata, FuzzyTermsEnum, and DirectSpellChecker.
  (Jean-Philippe Barrette-LaPierre, Robert Muir)
4. LUCENE-2321: Cutover to a more RAM efficient packed-ints based representation for the in-memory terms dict index.
  (Mike McCandless)
5. LUCENE-2126: Add new classes for data (de)serialization: DataInput and DataOutput. IndexInput and IndexOutput extend these new classes.
  (Michael Busch)
6. LUCENE-1458, LUCENE-2111: With flexible indexing it is now possible for an application to create its own postings codec, to alter how fields, terms, docs and positions are encoded into the index. The standard codec is the default codec. IndexWriter accepts a Codec class to obtain codecs for newly written segments.
7. LUCENE-1458, LUCENE-2111: Some experimental codecs have been added for flexible indexing, including pulsing codec (inlines low-frequency terms directly into the terms dict, avoiding seeking for some queries), sep codec (stores docs, freqs, positions, skip data and payloads in 5 separate files instead of the 2 used by standard codec), and int block (really a "base" for using block-based compressors like PForDelta for storing postings data).
8. LUCENE-1458, LUCENE-2111: The in-memory terms index used by standard codec is more RAM efficient: terms data is stored as block byte arrays and packed integers. Net RAM reduction for indexes that have many unique terms should be substantial, and initial open time for IndexReaders should be faster. These gains only apply for newly written segments after upgrading.
9. LUCENE-1458, LUCENE-2111: Terms data are now buffered directly as byte[] during indexing, which uses half the RAM for ascii terms (and also numeric fields). This can improve indexing throughput for applications that have many unique terms, since it reduces how often a new segment must be flushed given a fixed RAM buffer size.
10. LUCENE-2489: Added PerFieldCodecWrapper (in oal.index.codecs) which lets you set the Codec per field
  (Mike McCandless)
11. LUCENE-2373: Extend Codec to use SegmentInfosWriter and SegmentInfosReader to allow customization of SegmentInfos data.
  (Andrzej Bialecki)
12. LUCENE-2504: FieldComparator.setNextReader now returns a FieldComparator instance. You can "return this", to just reuse the same instance, or you can return a comparator optimized to the new segment.
  (yonik, Mike McCandless)
13. LUCENE-2648: PackedInts.Iterator now supports to advance by more than a single ordinal.
  (Simon Willnauer)
14. LUCENE-2649: Objects in the FieldCache can optionally store Bits that mark which docs have real values in the native[]
  (ryan)
15. LUCENE-2664: Add SimpleText codec, which stores all terms/postings data in a single text file for transparency (at the expense of poor performance).
  (Sahin Buyrukbilen via Mike McCandless)
16. LUCENE-2589: Add a VariableSizedIntIndexInput, which, when used w/ Sep*, makes it simple to take any variable sized int block coders (like Simple9/16) and use them in a codec.
  (Mike McCandless)
17. LUCENE-2597: Add oal.index.SlowCompositeReaderWrapper, to wrap a composite reader (eg MultiReader or DirectoryReader), making it pretend it's an atomic reader. This is a convenience class (you can use MultiFields static methods directly, instead) if you need to use the flex APIs directly on a composite reader.
  (Mike McCandless)
18. LUCENE-2690: MultiTermQuery boolean rewrites per segment.
  (Uwe Schindler, Robert Muir, Mike McCandless, Simon Willnauer)
19. LUCENE-996: The QueryParser now accepts mixed inclusive and exclusive bounds for range queries. Example: "{3 TO 5]" QueryParser subclasses that overrode getRangeQuery will need to be changed to use the new getRangeQuery method.
  (Andrew Schurman, Mark Miller, yonik)
20. LUCENE-2742: Add native per-field postings format support. Codec lets you now register a postings format for each field and which is in turn recorded into the index. Postings formats are maintained on a per-segment basis and be resolved without knowing the actual postings format used for writing the segment.
  (Simon Willnauer)
21. LUCENE-2741: Add support for multiple codecs that use the same file extensions within the same segment. Codecs now use their per-segment codec ID in the file names.
  (Simon Willnauer)
22. LUCENE-2843: Added a new terms index impl, VariableGapTermsIndexWriter/Reader, that accepts a pluggable IndexTermSelector for picking which terms should be indexed in the terms dict. This impl stores the indexed terms in an FST, which is much more RAM efficient than FixedGapTermsIndex.
  (Mike McCandless)
23. LUCENE-2862: Added TermsEnum.totalTermFreq() and Terms.getSumTotalTermFreq().
  (Mike McCandless, Robert Muir)
24. LUCENE-3290: Added Terms.getSumDocFreq()
  (Mike McCandless, Robert Muir)
25. LUCENE-3003: Added new expert class oal.index.DocTermsOrd, refactored from Solr's UnInvertedField, for accessing term ords for multi-valued fields, per document. This is similar to FieldCache in that it inverts the index to compute the ords, but differs in that it's able to handle multi-valued fields and does not hold the term bytes in RAM.
  (Mike McCandless)
26. LUCENE-3108, LUCENE-2935, LUCENE-2168, LUCENE-1231: Changes from DocValues (ColumnStrideFields):
  - IndexWriter now supports typesafe dense per-document values stored in a column like storage. DocValues are stored on a per-document basis where each documents field can hold exactly one value of a given type. DocValues are provided via Fieldable and can be used in conjunction with stored and indexed values.
  - DocValues provides an entirely RAM resident document id to value mapping per field as well as a DocIdSetIterator based disk-resident sequential access API relying on filesystem-caches.
  - Both APIs are exposed via IndexReader and the Codec / Flex API allowing expert users to integrate customized DocValues reader and writer implementations by extending existing Codecs.
  - DocValues provides implementations for primitive datatypes like int, long, float, double and arrays of byte. Byte based implementations further provide storage variants like straight or dereferenced stored bytes, fixed and variable length bytes as well as index time sorted based on user-provided comparators.
  (Mike McCandless, Simon Willnauer)
27. LUCENE-3209: Added MemoryCodec, which stores all terms & postings in RAM as an FST; this is good for primary-key fields if you frequently need to lookup by that field or perform deletions against it, for example in a near-real-time setting.
  (Mike McCandless)
28. SOLR-2533: Added support for rewriting Sort and SortFields using an IndexSearcher. SortFields can have SortField.REWRITEABLE type which requires they are rewritten before they are used.
  (Chris Male)
29. LUCENE-3203: FSDirectory can now limit the max allowed write rate (MB/sec) of all running merges, to reduce impact ongoing merging has on searching, NRT reopen time, etc.
  (Mike McCandless)
30. LUCENE-2793: Directory#createOutput & Directory#openInput now accept an IOContext instead of a buffer size to allow low level optimizations for different usecases like merging, flushing and reading.
  (Simon Willnauer, Mike McCandless, Varun Thacker)
31. LUCENE-3354: FieldCache can cache DocTermOrds.
  (Martijn van Groningen)
32. LUCENE-3376: ReusableAnalyzerBase has been moved from modules/analysis/common into lucene/src/java/org/apache/lucene/analysis
  (Chris Male)
33. LUCENE-3423: add Terms.getDocCount(), which returns the number of documents that have at least one term for a field.
  (Yonik Seeley, Robert Muir)
34. LUCENE-2959: Added a variety of different relevance ranking systems to Lucene.
  - Added Okapi BM25, Language Models, Divergence from Randomness, and Information-Based Models. The models are pluggable, support all of lucene's features (boosts, slops, explanations, etc) and queries (spans, etc).
  - All models default to the same index-time norm encoding as DefaultSimilarity, so you can easily try these out/switch back and forth/run experiments and comparisons without reindexing. Note: most of the models do rely upon index statistics that are new in Lucene 4.0, so for existing 3.x indexes it's a good idea to upgrade your index to the new format with IndexUpgrader first.
  - Added a new subclass SimilarityBase which provides a simplified API for plugging in new ranking algorithms without dealing with all of the nuances and implementation details of Lucene.
  - For example, to use BM25 for all fields: searcher.setSimilarity(new BM25Similarity());
  If you instead want to apply different similarities (e.g. ones with different parameter values or different algorithms entirely) to different fields, implement PerFieldSimilarityWrapper with your per-field logic.
  (David Mark Nemeskey via Robert Muir)
35. LUCENE-3396: ReusableAnalyzerBase now provides a ReuseStrategy abstraction which controls how TokenStreamComponents are reused per request. Two implementations are provided - GlobalReuseStrategy which implements the current behavior of sharing components between all fields, and PerFieldReuseStrategy which shares per field.
  (Chris Male)
36. LUCENE-2309: Added IndexableField.tokenStream(Analyzer) which is now responsible for creating the TokenStreams for Fields when they are to be indexed.
  (Chris Male)
37. LUCENE-3433: Added random access for non RAM resident IndexDocValues. RAM resident and disk resident IndexDocValues are now exposed via the Source interface. ValuesEnum has been removed in favour of Source.
  (Simon Willnauer)
38. LUCENE-1536: Filters can now be applied down-low, if their DocIdSet implements a new bits() method, returning all documents in a random access way. If the DocIdSet is not too sparse, it will be passed as acceptDocs down to the Scorer as replacement for AtomicReader's live docs. In addition, FilteredQuery backs now IndexSearcher's filtering search methods. Using FilteredQuery you can chain Filters in a very performant way [new FilteredQuery(new FilteredQuery(query, filter1), filter2)], which was not possible with IndexSearcher's methods. FilteredQuery also allows to override the heuristics used to decide if filtering should be done random access or using a conjunction on DocIdSet's iterator().
  (Mike McCandless, Uwe Schindler, Robert Muir, Chris Male, Yonik Seeley, Jason Rutherglen, Paul Elschot)
39. LUCENE-3638: Added sugar methods to IndexReader and IndexSearcher to load only certain fields when loading a document.
  (Peter Chang via Mike McCandless)
40. LUCENE-3628: Norms are represented as DocValues. AtomicReader exposes a #normValues(String) method to obtain norms per field.
  (Simon Willnauer)
41. LUCENE-3687: Similarity#computeNorm(FieldInvertState, Norm) allows to compute norm values or arbitrary precision. Instead of returning a fixed single byte value, custom similarities can now set a integer, float or byte value to the given Norm object.
  (Simon Willnauer)
42. LUCENE-2604, LUCENE-4103: Added RegexpQuery support to contrib/queryparser.
  (Simon Willnauer, Robert Muir, Daniel Truemper)
43. LUCENE-2373: Added a Codec implementation that works with append-only filesystems (such as e.g. Hadoop DFS). SegmentInfos writing/reading code is refactored to support append-only FS, and to allow for future customization of per-segment information.
  (Andrzej Bialecki)
44. LUCENE-2479: Added ability to provide a sort comparator for spelling suggestions along with two implementations. The existing comparator (score, then frequency) is the default
  (Grant Ingersoll)
45. LUCENE-2608: Added the ability to specify the accuracy at method time in the SpellChecker. The per class method is also still available.
  (Grant Ingersoll)
46. LUCENE-2507: Added DirectSpellChecker, which retrieves correction candidates directly from the term dictionary using levenshtein automata.
  (Robert Muir)
47. LUCENE-3527: Add LuceneLevenshteinDistance, which computes string distance in a compatible way as DirectSpellChecker. This can be used to merge top-N results from more than one SpellChecker.
  (James Dyer via Robert Muir)
48. LUCENE-3496: Support grouping by DocValues.
  (Martijn van Groningen)
49. LUCENE-2795: Generified DirectIOLinuxDirectory to work across any unix supporting the O_DIRECT flag when opening a file (tested on Linux and OS X but likely other Unixes will work), and improved it so it can be used for indexing and searching. The directory uses direct IO when doing large merges to avoid unnecessarily evicting cached IO pages due to large merges.
  (Varun Thacker, Mike McCandless)
50. LUCENE-3827: DocsAndPositionsEnum from MemoryIndex implements start/endOffset, if offsets are indexed.
  (Alan Woodward via Mike McCandless)
51. LUCENE-3802, LUCENE-3856: Support for grouped faceting.
  (Martijn van Groningen)
52. LUCENE-3444: Added a second pass grouping collector that keeps track of distinct values for a specified field for the top N group.
  (Martijn van Groningen)
53. LUCENE-3778: Added a grouping utility class that makes it easier to use result grouping for pure Lucene apps.
  (Martijn van Groningen)
54. LUCENE-2341: A new analysis/ filter: Morfologik - a dictionary-driven lemmatizer (accurate stemmer) for Polish (includes morphosyntactic annotations).
  (Michał Dybizbański, Dawid Weiss)
55. LUCENE-2413: Consolidated Lucene/Solr analysis components into analysis/common. New features from Solr now available to Lucene users include:
  - o.a.l.analysis.commongrams: Constructs n-grams for frequently occurring terms and phrases.
  - o.a.l.analysis.charfilter.HTMLStripCharFilter: CharFilter that strips HTML constructs.
  - o.a.l.analysis.miscellaneous.WordDelimiterFilter: TokenFilter that splits words into subwords and performs optional transformations on subword groups.
  - o.a.l.analysis.miscellaneous.RemoveDuplicatesTokenFilter: TokenFilter which filters out Tokens at the same position and Term text as the previous token.
  - o.a.l.analysis.miscellaneous.TrimFilter: Trims leading and trailing whitespace from Tokens in the stream.
  - o.a.l.analysis.miscellaneous.KeepWordFilter: A TokenFilter that only keeps tokens with text contained in the required words (inverse of StopFilter).
  - o.a.l.analysis.miscellaneous.HyphenatedWordsFilter: A TokenFilter that puts hyphenated words broken into two lines back together.
  - o.a.l.analysis.miscellaneous.CapitalizationFilter: A TokenFilter that applies capitalization rules to tokens.
  - o.a.l.analysis.pattern: Package for pattern-based analysis, containing a CharFilter, Tokenizer, and TokenFilter for transforming text with regexes.
  - o.a.l.analysis.synonym.SynonymFilter: A synonym filter that supports multi-word synonyms.
  - o.a.l.analysis.phonetic: Package for phonetic search, containing various phonetic encoders such as Double Metaphone.

  (Chris Male, Robert Muir)
56. LUCENE-4004: Add DisjunctionMaxQuery support to the xml query parser.
  (Benson Margulies via Robert Muir)
57. LUCENE-4025: Add maybeRefreshBlocking to ReferenceManager, to let a caller block until the refresh logic has been executed.
  (Shai Erera, Mike McCandless)
58. LUCENE-4039: Add AddIndexesTask to benchmark, which uses IW.addIndexes.
  (Shai Erera)
59. LUCENE-3514: Added IndexSearcher.searchAfter when Sort is used, returning results after a specified FieldDoc for deep paging.
  (Mike McCandless)
60. LUCENE-4043: Added scoring support via score mode for query time joining.
  (Martijn van Groningen, Mike McCandless)
61. LUCENE-3523: Added oal.search.spell.WordBreakSpellChecker, which generates suggestions by combining two or more terms and/or breaking terms into multiple words. See Javadocs for usage.
  (James Dyer)
62. LUCENE-4019: Added improved parsing of Hunspell Dictionaries so those rules missing the required number of parameters either ignored or cause a ParseException (depending on whether strict parsing is enabled).
  (Luca Cavanna via Chris Male)
63. LUCENE-3440: Add ordered fragments feature with IDF-weighted terms for FVH.
  (Sebastian Lutze via Koji Sekiguchi)
64. LUCENE-4082: Added explain to ToParentBlockJoinQuery.
  (Christoph Kaser, Martijn van Groningen)
65. LUCENE-4108: add replaceTaxonomy to DirectoryTaxonomyWriter, which replaces the taxonomy in place with the given one.
  (Shai Erera)
66. LUCENE-3030: new BlockTree terms dictionary (used by the default Lucene40 postings format) uses less RAM (for the terms index) and disk space (for all terms and metadata) and gives sizable performance gains for terms dictionary intensive operations like FuzzyQuery, direct spell checker and primary-key lookup
  (Mike McCandless).
Optimizations (17)
1. LUCENE-2588: Don't store unnecessary suffixes when writing the terms index, saving RAM in IndexReader; change default terms index interval from 128 to 32, because the terms index now requires much less RAM.
  (Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
2. LUCENE-2669: Optimize NumericRangeQuery.NumericRangeTermsEnum to not seek backwards when a sub-range has no terms. It now only seeks when the current term is less than the next sub-range's lower end.
  (Uwe Schindler, Mike McCandless)
3. LUCENE-2694: Optimize MultiTermQuery to be single pass for Term lookups. MultiTermQuery now stores TermState per leaf reader during rewrite to re- seek the term dictionary in TermQuery / TermWeight.
  (Simon Willnauer, Mike McCandless, Robert Muir)
4. LUCENE-3292: IndexWriter no longer shares the same SegmentReader instance for merging and NRT readers, which enables directory impls to separately tune IO flags for each.
  (Varun Thacker, Simon Willnauer, Mike McCandless)
5. LUCENE-3328: BooleanQuery now uses a specialized ConjunctionScorer if all boolean clauses are required and instances of TermQuery.
  (Simon Willnauer, Robert Muir)
6. LUCENE-3643: FilteredQuery and IndexSearcher.search(Query, Filter,...) now optimize the special case query instanceof MatchAllDocsQuery to execute as ConstantScoreQuery.
  (Uwe Schindler)
7. LUCENE-3509: Added fasterButMoreRam option for docvalues. This option controls whether the space for packed ints should be rounded up for better performance. This option only applies for docvalues types bytes fixed sorted and bytes var sorted.
  (Simon Willnauer, Martijn van Groningen)
8. LUCENE-3795: Replace contrib/spatial with modules/spatial. This includes a basic spatial strategy interface.
  (David Smiley, Chris Male, ryan)
9. LUCENE-3932: Lucene3x codec loads terms index faster, by pre-allocating the packed ints array based on the .tii file size
  (Sean Bridges via Mike McCandless)
10. LUCENE-3468: Replaced last() and remove() with pollLast() in FirstPassGroupingCollector
  (Martijn van Groningen)
11. LUCENE-3830: Changed MappingCharFilter/NormalizeCharMap to use an FST under the hood, which requires less RAM. NormalizeCharMap no longer accepts empty string match (it did previously, but ignored it).
  (Dawid Weiss, Mike McCandless)
12. LUCENE-4061: improve synchronization in DirectoryTaxonomyWriter.addCategory and few general improvements to DirectoryTaxonomyWriter.
  (Shai Erera, Gilad Barkai)
13. LUCENE-4062: Add new aligned packed bits impls for faster lookup performance; add float acceptableOverheadRatio to getWriter and getMutable API to give packed ints freedom to pick faster implementations
  (Adrien Grand via Mike McCandless)
14. LUCENE-2357: Reduce transient RAM usage when merging segments in IndexWriter.
  (Adrien Grand)
15. LUCENE-4098: Add bulk get/set methods to PackedInts
  (Adrien Grand via Mike McCandless)
16. LUCENE-4156: DirectoryTaxonomyWriter.getSize is no longer synchronized.
  (Shai Erera, Sivan Yogev)
17. LUCENE-4163: Improve concurrency of MMapIndexInput.clone() by using the new WeakIdentityMap on top of a ConcurrentHashMap to manage the cloned instances. WeakIdentityMap was extended to support iterating over its keys.
  (Uwe Schindler)
Bug fixes (19)
1. LUCENE-2803: The FieldCache can miss values if an entry for a reader with more document deletions is requested before a reader with fewer deletions, provided they share some segments.
  (yonik)
2. LUCENE-2645: Fix false assertion error when same token was added one after another with 0 posIncr.
  (David Smiley, Kurosaka Teruhiko via Mike McCandless)
3. LUCENE-3348: Fix thread safety hazards in IndexWriter that could rarely cause deletions to be incorrectly applied.
  (Yonik Seeley, Simon Willnauer, Mike McCandless)
4. LUCENE-3515: Fix terrible merge performance versus 3.x, especially when the directory isn't MMapDirectory, due to failing to reuse DocsAndPositionsEnum while merging
  (Marc Sturlese, Erick Erickson, Robert Muir, Simon Willnauer, Mike McCandless)
5. LUCENE-3589: BytesRef copy(short) didn't set length.
  (Peter Chang via Robert Muir)
6. LUCENE-3045: fixed QueryNodeImpl.containsTag(String key) that was not lowercasing the key before checking for the tag
  (Adriano Crestani)
7. LUCENE-3890: Fixed NPE for grouped faceting on multi-valued fields.
  (Michael McCandless, Martijn van Groningen)
8. LUCENE-2945: Fix hashCode/equals for surround query parser generated queries.
  (Paul Elschot, Simon Rosenthal, gsingers via ehatcher)
9. LUCENE-3971: MappingCharFilter could return invalid final token position.
  (Dawid Weiss, Robert Muir)
10. LUCENE-3820: PatternReplaceCharFilter could return invalid token positions.
  (Dawid Weiss)
11. LUCENE-3969: Throw IAE on bad arguments that could cause confusing errors in CompoundWordTokenFilterBase, PatternTokenizer, PositionFilter, SnowballFilter, PathHierarchyTokenizer, ReversePathHierarchyTokenizer, WikipediaTokenizer, and KeywordTokenizer. ShingleFilter and CommonGramsFilter now populate PositionLengthAttribute. Fixed PathHierarchyTokenizer to reset() all state. Protect against AIOOBE in ReversePathHierarchyTokenizer if skip is large. Fixed wrong final offset calculation in PathHierarchyTokenizer.
  (Mike McCandless, Uwe Schindler, Robert Muir)
12. LUCENE-4060: Fix a synchronization bug in DirectoryTaxonomyWriter.addTaxonomies(). Also, the method has been renamed to addTaxonomy and now takes only one Directory and one OrdinalMap.
  (Shai Erera, Gilad Barkai)
13. LUCENE-3590: Fix AIOOBE in BytesRef/CharsRef copyBytes/copyChars when offset is nonzero, fix off-by-one in CharsRef.subSequence, and fix CharsRef's CharSequence methods to throw exceptions in boundary cases to properly meet the specification.
  (Robert Muir)
14. LUCENE-4084: Attempting to reuse a single IndexWriterConfig instance across more than one IndexWriter resulted in a cryptic exception. This is now fixed, but requires that certain members of IndexWriterConfig (MergePolicy, FlushPolicy, DocumentsWriterThreadPool) implement clone.
  (Robert Muir, Simon Willnauer, Mike McCandless)
15. LUCENE-4079: Fixed loading of Hunspell dictionaries that use aliasing (AF rules)
  (Ludovic Boutros via Chris Male)
16. LUCENE-4077: Expose the max score and per-group scores from ToParentBlockJoinCollector
  (Christoph Kaser, Mike McCandless)
17. LUCENE-4114: Fix int overflow bugs in BYTES_FIXED_STRAIGHT and BYTES_FIXED_DEREF doc values implementations
  (Walt Elder via Mike McCandless).
18. LUCENE-4147: Fixed thread safety issues when rollback() and commit() are called simultaneously.
  (Simon Willnauer, Mike McCandless)
19. LUCENE-4165: Removed closing of the Reader used to read the affix file in HunspellDictionary. Consumers are now responsible for closing all InputStreams once the Dictionary has been instantiated.
  (Torsten Krah, Uwe Schindler, Chris Male)

Release 3.6.2 [2012-12-25]

Bug Fixes (8)
1. LUCENE-4234: Exception when FacetsCollector is used with ScoreFacetRequest, and the number of matching documents is too large.
  (Gilad Barkai via Shai Erera)
2. LUCENE-2686, LUCENE-3505, LUCENE-4401: Fix BooleanQuery scorers to return correct freq().
  (Koji Sekiguchi, Mike McCandless, Liu Chao, Robert Muir)
3. LUCENE-2501: Fixed rare thread-safety issue that could cause ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException inside ByteBlockPool
  (Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
4. LUCENE-4297: BooleanScorer2 would multiply the coord() factor twice for conjunctions: for most users this is no problem, but if you had a customized Similarity that returned something other than 1 when overlap == maxOverlap (always the case for conjunctions), then the score would be incorrect.
  (Pascal Chollet, Robert Muir)
5. LUCENE-4300: BooleanQuery's rewrite was not always safe: if you had a custom Similarity where coord(1,1) != 1F, then the rewritten query would be scored differently.
  (Robert Muir)
6. LUCENE-4398: If you index many different field names in your documents then due to a bug in how it measures its RAM usage, IndexWriter would flush each segment too early eventually reaching the point where it flushes after every doc.
  (Tim Smith via Mike McCandless)
7. LUCENE-4411: when sampling is enabled for a FacetRequest, its depth parameter is reset to the default (1), even if set otherwise.
  (Gilad Barkai via Shai Erera)
8. LUCENE-4635: Fixed ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException when in-memory terms index requires more than 2.1 GB RAM (indices with billions of terms).
  (Tom Burton-West via Mike McCandless)
Documentation (1)
1. LUCENE-4302: Fix facet userguide to have HTML loose doctype like all other javadocs.
  (Karl Nicholas via Uwe Schindler)

  (Robert Muir)
6. LUCENE-4222: TieredMergePolicy.getFloorSegmentMB was returning the size in bytes not MB
  (Chris Fuller via Mike McCandless)
API Changes (1)
1. LUCENE-4023: Changed the visibility of Scorer#visitSubScorers() to public, otherwise it's impossible to implement Scorers outside the Lucene package.
  (Uwe Schindler)
Optimizations (1)
1. LUCENE-4163: Improve concurrency of MMapIndexInput.clone() by using the new WeakIdentityMap on top of a ConcurrentHashMap to manage the cloned instances. WeakIdentityMap was extended to support iterating over its keys.
  (Uwe Schindler)

1. LUCENE-3873: add MockGraphTokenFilter, testing analyzers with random graph tokens.
  (Mike McCandless)
2. LUCENE-3968: factor out LookaheadTokenFilter from MockGraphTokenFilter
  (Mike McCandless)

Release 3.6.0 [2012-04-12]

More information about this release, including any errata related to the release notes, upgrade instructions, or other changes may be found online at: https://wiki.apache.org/lucene-java/Lucene3.6
Changes in backwards compatibility policy (15)
1. LUCENE-3594: The protected inner class (never intended to be visible) FieldCacheTermsFilter.FieldCacheTermsFilterDocIdSet was removed and replaced by another internal implementation.
  (Uwe Schindler)
2. LUCENE-3620: FilterIndexReader now overrides all methods of IndexReader that it should (note that some are still not overridden, as they should be overridden by sub-classes only). In the process, some methods of IndexReader were made final. This is not expected to affect many apps, since these methods already delegate to abstract methods, which you had to already override anyway.
  (Shai Erera)
3. LUCENE-3636: Added SearcherFactory, used by SearcherManager and NRTManager to create new IndexSearchers. You can provide your own implementation to warm new searchers, set an ExecutorService, set a custom Similarity, or even return your own subclass of IndexSearcher. The SearcherWarmer and ExecutorService parameters on these classes were removed, as they are subsumed by SearcherFactory.
  (Shai Erera, Mike McCandless, Robert Muir)
4. LUCENE-3644: The expert ReaderFinishedListener api suffered problems (propagated down to subreaders, but was not called on SegmentReaders, unless they were the owner of the reader core, and other ambiguities). The API is revised: You can set ReaderClosedListeners on any IndexReader, and onClose is called when that reader is closed. SegmentReader has CoreClosedListeners that you can register to know when a shared reader core is closed.
  (Uwe Schindler, Mike McCandless, Robert Muir)
5. LUCENE-3652: The package org.apache.lucene.messages was moved to contrib/queryparser. If you have used those classes in your code just add the lucene-queryparser.jar file to your classpath.
  (Uwe Schindler)
6. LUCENE-3681: FST now stores labels for BYTE2 input type as 2 bytes instead of vInt; this can make FSTs smaller and faster, but it is a break in the binary format so if you had built and saved any FSTs then you need to rebuild them.
  (Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
7. LUCENE-3679: The expert IndexReader.getFieldNames(FieldOption) API has been removed and replaced with the experimental getFieldInfos API. All IndexReader subclasses must implement getFieldInfos.
  (Mike McCandless)
8. LUCENE-3695: Move confusing add(X) methods out of FST.Builder into FST.Util.
  (Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
9. LUCENE-3701: Added an additional argument to the expert FST.Builder ctor to take FreezeTail, which you can use to (very-expertly) customize the FST construction process. Pass null if you want the default behavior. Added seekExact() to FSTEnum, and added FST.save/read from a File.
  (Mike McCandless, Dawid Weiss, Robert Muir)
10. LUCENE-3712: Removed unused and untested ReaderUtil#subReader methods.
  (Uwe Schindler)
11. LUCENE-3672: Deprecate Directory.fileModified, IndexCommit.getTimestamp and .getVersion and IndexReader.lastModified and getCurrentVersion
  (Andrzej Bialecki, Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
12. LUCENE-3760: In IndexReader/DirectoryReader, deprecate static methods getCurrentVersion and getCommitUserData, and non-static method getCommitUserData (use getIndexCommit().getUserData() instead).
  (Ryan McKinley, Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
13. LUCENE-3867: Deprecate instance creation of RamUsageEstimator, instead the new static method sizeOf(Object) should be used. As the algorithm is now using Hotspot(TM) internals (reference size, header sizes, object alignment), the abstract o.a.l.util.MemoryModel class was completely removed (without replacement). The new static methods no longer support String intern-ness checking, interned strings now count to memory usage as any other Java object.
  (Dawid Weiss, Uwe Schindler, Shai Erera)
14. LUCENE-3738: All readXxx methods in BufferedIndexInput were made final. Subclasses should only override protected readInternal / seekInternal.
  (Uwe Schindler)
15. LUCENE-2599: Deprecated the spatial contrib module, which was buggy and not well maintained. Lucene 4 includes a new spatial module that replaces this.
  (David Smiley, Ryan McKinley, Chris Male)
Changes in Runtime Behavior (3)
1. LUCENE-3796, SOLR-3241: Throw an exception if you try to set an index-time boost on a field that omits norms. Because the index-time boost is multiplied into the norm, previously your boost would be silently discarded.
  (Tomás Fernández Löbbe, Hoss Man, Robert Muir)
2. LUCENE-3848: Fix tokenstreams to not produce a stream with an initial position increment of 0: which is out of bounds (overlapping with a non-existent previous term). Consumers such as IndexWriter and QueryParser still check for and silently correct this situation today, but at some point in the future they may throw an exception.
  (Mike McCandless, Robert Muir)
3. LUCENE-3738: DataInput/DataOutput no longer allow negative vLongs. Negative vInts are still supported (for index backwards compatibility), but should not be used in new code. The read method for negative vLongs was already broken since Lucene 3.1.
  (Uwe Schindler, Mike McCandless, Robert Muir)
Security fixes (1)
1. LUCENE-3588: Try harder to prevent SIGSEGV on cloned MMapIndexInputs: Previous versions of Lucene could SIGSEGV the JVM if you try to access the clone of an IndexInput retrieved from MMapDirectory. This security fix prevents this as best as it can by throwing AlreadyClosedException also on clones.
  (Uwe Schindler, Robert Muir)
API Changes (7)
1. LUCENE-3606: IndexReader will be made read-only in Lucene 4.0, so all methods allowing to delete or undelete documents using IndexReader were deprecated; you should use IndexWriter now. Consequently IndexReader.commit() and all open(), openIfChanged(), clone() methods taking readOnly booleans (or IndexDeletionPolicy instances) were deprecated. IndexReader.setNorm() is superfluous and was deprecated. If you have to change per-document boost use CustomScoreQuery. If you want to dynamically change norms (boost *and* length norm) at query time, wrap your IndexReader using FilterIndexReader, overriding FilterIndexReader.norms(). To persist the changes on disk, copy the FilteredIndexReader to a new index using IndexWriter.addIndexes(). In Lucene 4.0, SimilarityProvider will allow you to customize scoring using external norms, too.
  (Uwe Schindler, Robert Muir)
2. LUCENE-3735: PayloadProcessorProvider was changed to return a ReaderPayloadProcessor instead of DirPayloadProcessor. The selection of the provider to return for the factory is now based on the IndexReader to be merged. To mimic the old behaviour, just use IndexReader.directory() for choosing the provider by Directory.
  (Uwe Schindler)
3. LUCENE-3765: Deprecated StopFilter ctor that took ignoreCase, because in some cases (if the set is a CharArraySet), the argument is ignored. Deprecated StandardAnalyzer and ClassicAnalyzer ctors that take File, please use the Reader ctor instead.
  (Robert Muir)
4. LUCENE-3766: Deprecate no-arg ctors of Tokenizer. Tokenizers are TokenStreams with Readers: tokenizers with null Readers will not be supported in Lucene 4.0, just use a TokenStream.
  (Mike McCandless, Robert Muir)
5. LUCENE-3769: Simplified NRTManager by requiring applyDeletes to be passed to ctor only; if an app needs to mix and match it's free to create two NRTManagers (one always applying deletes and the other never applying deletes).
  (MJB, Shai Erera, Mike McCandless)
6. LUCENE-3761: Generalize SearcherManager into an abstract ReferenceManager. SearcherManager remains a concrete class, but due to the refactoring, the method maybeReopen has been deprecated in favor of maybeRefresh().
  (Shai Erera, Mike McCandless, Simon Willnauer)
7. LUCENE-3776: You now acquire/release the IndexSearcher directly from NRTManager.
  (Mike McCandless)
New Features (11)
1. LUCENE-3593: Added a FieldValueFilter that accepts all documents that either have at least one or no value at all in a specific field.
  (Simon Willnauer, Uwe Schindler, Robert Muir)
2. LUCENE-3586: CheckIndex and IndexUpgrader allow you to specify the specific FSDirectory implementation to use (with the new -dir-impl command-line option).
  (Luca Cavanna via Mike McCandless)
3. LUCENE-3634: IndexReader's static main method was moved to a new tool, CompoundFileExtractor, in contrib/misc.
  (Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
4. LUCENE-995: The QueryParser now interprets * as an open end for range queries. Literal asterisks may be represented by quoting or escaping (i.e. \* or "*") Custom QueryParser subclasses overriding getRangeQuery() will be passed null for any open endpoint. (Ingo Renner, Adriano Crestani, yonik, Mike McCandless
5. LUCENE-3121: Add sugar reverse lookup (given an output, find the input mapping to it) for FSTs that have strictly monotonic long outputs (such as an ord).
  (Mike McCandless)
6. LUCENE-3671: Add TypeTokenFilter that filters tokens based on their TypeAttribute.
  (Tommaso Teofili via Uwe Schindler)
7. LUCENE-3690,LUCENE-3913: Added HTMLStripCharFilter, a CharFilter that strips HTML markup.
  (Steve Rowe)
8. LUCENE-3725: Added optional packing to FST building; this uses extra RAM during building but results in a smaller FST.
  (Mike McCandless)
9. LUCENE-3714: Add top N shortest cost paths search for FST.
  (Robert Muir, Dawid Weiss, Mike McCandless)
10. LUCENE-3789: Expose MTQ TermsEnum via RewriteMethod for non package private access
  (Simon Willnauer)
11. LUCENE-3881: Added UAX29URLEmailAnalyzer: a standard analyzer that recognizes URLs and emails.
  (Steve Rowe)
Bug fixes (17)
1. LUCENE-3595: Fixed FieldCacheRangeFilter and FieldCacheTermsFilter to correctly respect deletions on reopened SegmentReaders. Factored out FieldCacheDocIdSet to be a top-level class.
  (Uwe Schindler, Simon Willnauer)
2. LUCENE-3627: Don't let an errant 0-byte segments_N file corrupt the index.
  (Ken McCracken via Mike McCandless)
3. LUCENE-3630: The internal method MultiReader.doOpenIfChanged(boolean doClone) was overriding IndexReader.doOpenIfChanged(boolean readOnly), so changing the contract of the overridden method. This method was renamed and made private. In ParallelReader the bug was not existent, but the implementation method was also made private.
  (Uwe Schindler)
4. LUCENE-3641: Fixed MultiReader to correctly propagate readerFinishedListeners to clones/reopened readers.
  (Uwe Schindler)
5. LUCENE-3642, SOLR-2891, LUCENE-3717: Fixed bugs in CharTokenizer, n-gram tokenizers/filters, compound token filters, thai word filter, icutokenizer, pattern analyzer, wikipediatokenizer, and smart chinese where they would create invalid offsets in some situations, leading to problems in highlighting.
  (Max Beutel, Edwin Steiner via Robert Muir)
6. LUCENE-3639: TopDocs.merge was incorrectly setting TopDocs.maxScore to Float.MIN_VALUE when it should be Float.NaN, when there were 0 hits. Improved age calculation in SearcherLifetimeManager, to have double precision and to compute age to be how long ago the searcher was replaced with a new searcher
  (Mike McCandless)
7. LUCENE-3658: Corrected potential concurrency issues with NRTCachingDir, fixed createOutput to overwrite any previous file, and removed invalid asserts
  (Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
8. LUCENE-3605: don't sleep in a retry loop when trying to locate the segments_N file
  (Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
9. LUCENE-3711: SentinelIntSet with a small initial size can go into an infinite loop when expanded. This can affect grouping using TermAllGroupsCollector or TermAllGroupHeadsCollector if instantiated with a non default small size.
  (Martijn van Groningen, yonik)
10. LUCENE-3727: When writing stored fields and term vectors, Lucene checks file sizes to detect a bug in some Sun JREs (LUCENE-1282), however, on some NFS filesystems File.length() could be stale, resulting in false errors like "fdx size mismatch while indexing". These checks now use getFilePointer instead to avoid this.
  (Jamir Shaikh, Mike McCandless, Robert Muir)
11. LUCENE-3816: Fixed problem in FilteredDocIdSet, if null was returned from the delegate DocIdSet.iterator(), which is allowed to return null by DocIdSet specification when no documents match.
  (Shay Banon via Uwe Schindler)
12. LUCENE-3821: SloppyPhraseScorer missed documents that ExactPhraseScorer finds When phrase query had repeating terms (e.g. "yes no yes") sloppy query missed documents that exact query matched. Fixed except when for repeating multiterms (e.g. "yes no yes|no").
  (Robert Muir, Doron Cohen)
13. LUCENE-3841: Fix CloseableThreadLocal to also purge stale entries on get(); this fixes certain cases where we were holding onto objects for dead threads for too long
  (Matthew Bellew, Mike McCandless)
14. LUCENE-3872: IndexWriter.close() now throws IllegalStateException if you call it after calling prepareCommit() without calling commit() first.
  (Tim Bogaert via Mike McCandless)
15. LUCENE-3874: Throw IllegalArgumentException from IndexWriter (rather than producing a corrupt index), if a positionIncrement would cause integer overflow. This can happen, for example when using a buggy TokenStream that forgets to call clearAttributes() in combination with a StopFilter.
  (Robert Muir)
16. LUCENE-3876: Fix bug where positions for a document exceeding Integer.MAX_VALUE/2 would produce a corrupt index.
  (Simon Willnauer, Mike McCandless, Robert Muir)
17. LUCENE-3880: UAX29URLEmailTokenizer now recognizes emails when the mailto: scheme is prepended.
  (Kai Gülzau, Steve Rowe)
Optimizations (1)
1. LUCENE-3653: Improve concurrency in VirtualMethod and AttributeSource by using a WeakIdentityMap based on a ConcurrentHashMap.
  (Uwe Schindler, Gerrit Jansen van Vuuren)
Documentation (2)
1. LUCENE-3597: Fixed incorrect grouping documentation.
  (Martijn van Groningen, Robert Muir)
2. LUCENE-3926: Improve documentation of RAMDirectory, because this class is not intended to work with huge indexes. Everything beyond several hundred megabytes will waste resources (GC cycles), because it uses an internal buffer size of 1024 bytes, producing millions of byte[1024] arrays. This class is optimized for small memory-resident indexes. It also has bad concurrency on multithreaded environments. It is recommended to materialize large indexes on disk and use MMapDirectory, which is a high-performance directory implementation working directly on the file system cache of the operating system, so copying data to Java heap space is not useful.
  (Uwe Schindler, Mike McCandless, Robert Muir)
Build (8)
1. LUCENE-3857: exceptions from other threads in beforeclass/etc do not fail the test
  (Dawid Weiss)
2. LUCENE-3847: LuceneTestCase will now check for modifications of System properties before and after each test (and suite). If changes are detected, the test will fail. A rule can be used to reset system properties to before-scope state (and this has been used to make Solr tests pass).
  (Dawid Weiss, Uwe Schindler).
3. LUCENE-3228: Stop downloading external javadoc package-list files:
  - Added package-list files for Oracle Java javadocs and JUnit javadocs to Lucene/Solr subversion.
  - The Oracle Java javadocs package-list file is excluded from Lucene and Solr source release packages.
  - Regardless of network connectivity, javadocs built from a subversion checkout contain links to Oracle & JUnit javadocs.
  - Building javadocs from a source release package will download the Oracle Java package-list file if it isn't already present.
  - When the Oracle Java package-list file is not present and download fails, the javadocs targets will not fail the build, though an error will appear in the build log. In this case, the built javadocs will not contain links to Oracle Java javadocs.
  - Links from Solr javadocs to Lucene's javadocs are enabled. When building a X.Y.Z-SNAPSHOT version, the links are to the most recently built nightly Jenkins javadocs. When building a release version, links are to the Lucene release javadocs for the same version.
  (Steve Rowe, hossman)
4. LUCENE-3753: Restructure the Lucene build system:
  - Created a new Lucene-internal module named "core" by moving the java/ and test/ directories from lucene/src/ to lucene/core/src/.
  - Eliminated lucene/src/ by moving all its directories up one level.
  - Each internal module (core/, test-framework/, and tools/) now has its own build.xml, from which it is possible to run module-specific targets. lucene/build.xml delegates all build tasks (via <ant dir="internal-module-dir"> calls) to these modules' build.xml files.
  (Steve Rowe)
5. LUCENE-3774: Optimized and streamlined license and notice file validation by refactoring the build task into an ANT task and modifying build scripts to perform top-level checks.
  (Dawid Weiss, Steve Rowe, Robert Muir)
6. LUCENE-3762: Upgrade JUnit to 4.10, refactor state-machine of detecting setUp/tearDown call chaining in LuceneTestCase.
  (Dawid Weiss, Robert Muir)
7. LUCENE-3944: Make the 'generate-maven-artifacts' target use filtered POMs placed under lucene/build/poms/, rather than in each module's base directory. The 'clean' target now removes them.
  (Steve Rowe, Robert Muir)
8. LUCENE-3930: Changed build system to use Apache Ivy for retrival of 3rd party JAR files. Please review BUILD.txt for instructions.
  (Robert Muir, Chris Male, Uwe Schindler, Steven Rowe, Hossman)

Release 3.5.0 [2011-11-11]

Changes in backwards compatibility policy (3)
1. LUCENE-3390: The first approach in Lucene 3.4.0 for missing values support for sorting had a design problem that made the missing value be populated directly into the FieldCache arrays during sorting, leading to concurrency issues. To fix this behaviour, the method signatures had to be changed:
  - FieldCache.getUnValuedDocs() was renamed to FieldCache.getDocsWithField() returning a Bits interface (backported from Lucene 4.0).
  - FieldComparator.setMissingValue() was removed and added to constructor
  As this is expert API, most code will not be affected.
  (Uwe Schindler, Doron Cohen, Mike McCandless)
2. LUCENE-3541: Remove IndexInput's protected copyBuf. If you want to keep a buffer in your IndexInput, do this yourself in your implementation, and be sure to do the right thing on clone()!
  (Robert Muir)
3. LUCENE-2822: TimeLimitingCollector now expects a counter clock instead of relying on a private daemon thread. The global time limiting clock thread has been exposed and is now lazily loaded and fully optional. TimeLimitingCollector now supports setting clock baseline manually to include prelude of a search. Previous versions set the baseline on construction time, now baseline is set once the first IndexReader is passed to the collector unless set before.
  (Simon Willnauer)
Changes in runtime behavior (1)
1. LUCENE-3520: IndexReader.openIfChanged, when passed a near-real-time reader, will now return null if there are no changes. The API has always reserved the right to do this; it's just that in the past for near-real-time readers it never did.
  (Mike McCandless)
Bug fixes (14)
1. LUCENE-3412: SloppyPhraseScorer was returning non-deterministic results for queries with many repeats
  (Doron Cohen)
2. LUCENE-3421: PayloadTermQuery's explain was wrong when includeSpanScore=false.
  (Edward Drapkin via Robert Muir)
3. LUCENE-3432: IndexWriter.expungeDeletes with TieredMergePolicy should ignore the maxMergedSegmentMB setting
  (v.sevel via Mike McCandless)
4. LUCENE-3442: TermQuery.TermWeight.scorer() returns null for non-atomic IndexReaders (optimization bug, introcuced by LUCENE-2829), preventing QueryWrapperFilter and similar classes to get a top-level DocIdSet.
  (Dan C., Uwe Schindler)
5. LUCENE-3390: Corrected handling of missing values when two parallel searches using different missing values for sorting: the missing value was populated directly into the FieldCache arrays during sorting, leading to concurrency issues.
  (Uwe Schindler, Doron Cohen, Mike McCandless)
6. LUCENE-3439: Closing an NRT reader after the writer was closed was incorrectly invoking the DeletionPolicy and (then possibly deleting files) on the closed IndexWriter
  (Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
7. LUCENE-3215: SloppyPhraseScorer sometimes computed Infinite freq
  (Robert Muir, Doron Cohen)
8. LUCENE-3503: DisjunctionSumScorer would give slightly different scores for a document depending if you used nextDoc() versus advance().
  (Mike McCandless, Robert Muir)
9. LUCENE-3529: Properly support indexing an empty field with empty term text. Previously, if you had assertions enabled you would receive an error during flush, if you didn't, you would get an invalid index.
  (Mike McCandless, Robert Muir)
10. LUCENE-2633: PackedInts Packed32 and Packed64 did not support internal structures larger than 256MB
  (Toke Eskildsen via Mike McCandless)
11. LUCENE-3540: LUCENE-3255 dropped support for pre-1.9 indexes, but the error message in IndexFormatTooOldException was incorrect.
  (Uwe Schindler, Mike McCandless)
12. LUCENE-3541: IndexInput's default copyBytes() implementation was not safe across multiple threads, because all clones shared the same buffer.
  (Robert Muir)
13. LUCENE-3548: Fix CharsRef#append to extend length of the existing char[] and preserve existing chars.
  (Simon Willnauer)
14. LUCENE-3582: Normalize NaN values in NumericUtils.floatToSortableInt() / NumericUtils.doubleToSortableLong(), so this is consistent with stored fields. Also fix NumericRangeQuery to not falsely hit NaNs on half-open ranges (one bound is null). Because of normalization, NumericRangeQuery can now be used to hit NaN values by creating a query with upper == lower == NaN (inclusive).
  (Dawid Weiss, Uwe Schindler)
API Changes (6)
1. LUCENE-3454: Rename IndexWriter.optimize to forceMerge to discourage use of this method since it is horribly costly and rarely justified anymore. MergePolicy.findMergesForOptimize was renamed to findForcedMerges. IndexReader.isOptimized was deprecated. IndexCommit.isOptimized was replaced with getSegmentCount.
  (Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
2. LUCENE-3205: Deprecated MultiTermQuery.getTotalNumerOfTerms() [and related methods], as the numbers returned are not useful for multi-segment indexes. They were only needed for tests of NumericRangeQuery.
  (Mike McCandless, Uwe Schindler)
3. LUCENE-3574: Deprecate outdated constants in org.apache.lucene.util.Constants and add new ones for Java 6 and Java 7.
  (Uwe Schindler)
4. LUCENE-3571: Deprecate IndexSearcher(Directory). Use the constructors that take IndexReader instead.
  (Robert Muir)
5. LUCENE-3577: Rename IndexWriter.expungeDeletes to forceMergeDeletes, and revamped the javadocs, to discourage use of this method since it is horribly costly and rarely justified. MergePolicy.findMergesToExpungeDeletes was renamed to findForcedDeletesMerges.
  (Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
6. LUCENE-3464: IndexReader.reopen has been renamed to IndexReader.openIfChanged (a static method), and now returns null (instead of the old reader) if there are no changes in the index, to prevent the common pitfall of accidentally closing the old reader.
New Features (4)
1. LUCENE-3448: Added FixedBitSet.and(other/DISI), andNot(other/DISI).
  (Uwe Schindler)
2. LUCENE-2215: Added IndexSearcher.searchAfter which returns results after a specified ScoreDoc (e.g. last document on the previous page) to support deep paging use cases.
  (Aaron McCurry, Grant Ingersoll, Robert Muir)
3. LUCENE-1990: Adds internal packed ints implementation, to be used for more efficient storage of int arrays when the values are bounded, for example for storing the terms dict index
  (Toke Eskildsen via Mike McCandless)
4. LUCENE-3558: Moved SearcherManager, NRTManager & SearcherLifetimeManager into core. All classes are contained in o.a.l.search.
  (Simon Willnauer)
Optimizations (5)
1. LUCENE-3426: Add NGramPhraseQuery which extends PhraseQuery and tries to reduce the number of terms of the query when rewrite(), in order to improve performance.
  (Robert Muir, Koji Sekiguchi)
2. LUCENE-3494: Optimize FilteredQuery to remove a multiply in score()
  (Uwe Schindler, Robert Muir)
3. LUCENE-3534: Remove filter logic from IndexSearcher and delegate to FilteredQuery's Scorer. This is a partial backport of a cleanup in FilteredQuery/IndexSearcher added by LUCENE-1536 to Lucene 4.0.
  (Uwe Schindler)
4. LUCENE-2205: Very substantial (3-5X) RAM reduction required to hold the terms index on opening an IndexReader
  (Aaron McCurry via Mike McCandless)
5. LUCENE-3443: FieldCache can now set docsWithField, and create an array, in a single pass. This results in faster init time for apps that need both (such as sorting by a field with a missing value).
  (Mike McCandless)
Test Cases (2)
1. LUCENE-3420: Disable the finalness checks in TokenStream and Analyzer for implementing subclasses in different packages, where assertions are not enabled.
  (Uwe Schindler)
2. LUCENE-3506: tests relying on assertions being enabled were no-op because they ignored AssertionError. With this fix now entire test framework (every test) fails if assertions are disabled, unless
  - Dtests.asserts.gracious=true is specified.
    (Doron Cohen)
Build (2)
1. SOLR-2849: Fix dependencies in Maven POMs.
  (David Smiley via Steve Rowe)
2. LUCENE-3561: Fix maven xxx-src.jar files that were missing resources.
  (Uwe Schindler)

Release 3.4.0 [2011-09-15]

Bug fixes (12)
1. LUCENE-3251: Directory#copy failed to close target output if opening the source stream failed.
  (Simon Willnauer)
2. LUCENE-3255: If segments_N file is all zeros (due to file corruption), don't read that to mean the index is empty.
  (Gregory Tarr, Mark Harwood, Simon Willnauer, Mike McCandless)
3. LUCENE-3254: Fixed minor bug in deletes were written to disk, causing the file to sometimes be larger than it needed to be.
  (Mike McCandless)
4. LUCENE-3224: Fixed a big where CheckIndex would incorrectly report a corrupt index if a term with docfreq >= 16 was indexed more than once at the same position.
  (Robert Muir)
5. LUCENE-3339: Fixed deadlock case when multiple threads use the new block-add (IndexWriter.add/updateDocuments) methods.
  (Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
6. LUCENE-3340: Fixed case where IndexWriter was not flushing at exactly maxBufferedDeleteTerms
  (Mike McCandless)
7. LUCENE-3358, LUCENE-3361: StandardTokenizer and UAX29URLEmailTokenizer wrongly discarded combining marks attached to Han or Hiragana characters, this is fixed if you supply Version >= 3.4 If you supply a previous lucene version, you get the old buggy behavior for backwards compatibility.
  (Trejkaz, Robert Muir)
8. LUCENE-3368: IndexWriter commits segments without applying their buffered deletes when flushing concurrently.
  (Simon Willnauer, Mike McCandless)
9. LUCENE-3365: Create or Append mode determined before obtaining write lock can cause IndexWriter overriding an existing index.
  (Geoff Cooney via Simon Willnauer)
10. LUCENE-3380: Fixed a bug where FileSwitchDirectory's listAll() would wrongly throw NoSuchDirectoryException when all files written so far have been written to one directory, but the other still has not yet been created on the filesystem.
  (Robert Muir)
11. LUCENE-3409: IndexWriter.deleteAll was failing to close pooled NRT SegmentReaders, leading to unused files accumulating in the Directory.
  (tal steier via Mike McCandless)
12. LUCENE-3418: Lucene was failing to fsync index files on commit, meaning an operating system or hardware crash, or power loss, could easily corrupt the index.
  (Mark Miller, Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
New Features (5)
1. LUCENE-3290: Added FieldInvertState.numUniqueTerms
  (Mike McCandless, Robert Muir)
2. LUCENE-3280: Add FixedBitSet, like OpenBitSet but is not elastic (grow on demand if you set/get/clear too-large indices).
  (Mike McCandless)
3. LUCENE-2048: Added the ability to omit positions but still index term frequencies, you can now control what is indexed into the postings via AbstractField.setIndexOptions: DOCS_ONLY: only documents are indexed: term frequencies and positions are omitted DOCS_AND_FREQS: only documents and term frequencies are indexed: positions are omitted DOCS_AND_FREQS_AND_POSITIONS: full postings: documents, frequencies, and positions AbstractField.setOmitTermFrequenciesAndPositions is deprecated, you should use DOCS_ONLY instead.
  (Robert Muir)
4. LUCENE-3097: Added a new grouping collector that can be used to retrieve all most relevant documents per group. This can be useful in situations when one wants to compute grouping based facets / statistics on the complete query result.
  (Martijn van Groningen)
5. LUCENE-3334: If Java7 is detected, IOUtils.closeSafely() will log suppressed exceptions in the original exception, so stack trace will contain them.
  (Uwe Schindler)
Optimizations (2)
1. LUCENE-3201, LUCENE-3218: CompoundFileSystem code has been consolidated into a Directory implementation. Reading is optimized for MMapDirectory, NIOFSDirectory and SimpleFSDirectory to only map requested parts of the CFS into an IndexInput. Writing to a CFS now tries to append to the CF directly if possible and merges separately written files on the fly instead of during close.
  (Simon Willnauer, Robert Muir)
2. LUCENE-3289: When building an FST you can now tune how aggressively the FST should try to share common suffixes. Typically you can greatly reduce RAM required during building, and CPU consumed, at the cost of a somewhat larger FST.
  (Mike McCandless)
Test Cases (1)
1. LUCENE-3327: Fix AIOOBE when TestFSTs is run with -Dtests.verbose=true
  (James Dyer via Mike McCandless)
Build (1)
1. LUCENE-3406: Add ant target 'package-local-src-tgz' to Lucene and Solr to package sources from the local working copy.
  (Seung-Yeoul Yang via Steve Rowe)

Release 3.3.0 [2011-07-10]

Changes in backwards compatibility policy (4)
1. LUCENE-3140: IndexOutput.copyBytes now takes a DataInput (superclass of IndexInput) as its first argument.
  (Robert Muir, Dawid Weiss, Mike McCandless)
2. LUCENE-3191: FieldComparator.value now returns an Object not Comparable; FieldDoc.fields also changed from Comparable[] to Object[]
  (Uwe Schindler, Mike McCandless)
3. LUCENE-3208: Made deprecated methods Query.weight(Searcher) and Searcher.createWeight() final to prevent override. If you have overridden one of these methods, cut over to the non-deprecated implementation.
  (Uwe Schindler, Robert Muir, Yonik Seeley)
4. LUCENE-3238: Made MultiTermQuery.rewrite() final, to prevent problems (such as not properly setting rewrite methods, or not working correctly with things like SpanMultiTermQueryWrapper). To rewrite to a simpler form, instead return a simpler enum from getEnum(IndexReader). For example, to rewrite to a single term, return a SingleTermEnum.
  (ludovic Boutros, Uwe Schindler, Robert Muir)
Changes in runtime behavior (4)
1. LUCENE-2834: the hash used to compute the lock file name when the lock file is not stored in the index has changed. This means you will see a different lucene-XXX-write.lock in your lock directory.
  (Robert Muir, Uwe Schindler, Mike McCandless)
2. LUCENE-3146: IndexReader.setNorm throws IllegalStateException if the field does not store norms.
  (Shai Erera, Mike McCandless)
3. LUCENE-3198: On Linux, if the JRE is 64 bit and supports unmapping, FSDirectory.open now defaults to MMapDirectory instead of NIOFSDirectory since MMapDirectory gives better performance.
  (Mike McCandless)
4. LUCENE-3200: MMapDirectory now uses chunk sizes that are powers of 2. When setting the chunk size, it is rounded down to the next possible value. The new default value for 64 bit platforms is 2^30 (1 GiB), for 32 bit platforms it stays unchanged at 2^28 (256 MiB). Internally, MMapDirectory now only uses one dedicated final IndexInput implementation supporting multiple chunks, which makes Hotspot's life easier.
  (Uwe Schindler, Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
Bug fixes (7)
1. LUCENE-3147,LUCENE-3152: Fixed open file handles leaks in many places in the code. Now MockDirectoryWrapper (in test-framework) tracks all open files, including locks, and fails if the test fails to release all of them.
  (Mike McCandless, Robert Muir, Shai Erera, Simon Willnauer)
2. LUCENE-3102: CachingCollector.replay was failing to call setScorer per-segment
  (Martijn van Groningen via Mike McCandless)
3. LUCENE-3183: Fix rare corner case where seeking to empty term (field="", term="") with terms index interval 1 could hit ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException
  (selckin, Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
4. LUCENE-3208: IndexSearcher had its own private similarity field and corresponding get/setter overriding Searcher's implementation. If you setted a different Similarity instance on IndexSearcher, methods implemented in the superclass Searcher were not using it, leading to strange bugs.
  (Uwe Schindler, Robert Muir)
5. LUCENE-3197: Fix core merge policies to not over-merge during background optimize when documents are still being deleted concurrently with the optimize
  (Mike McCandless)
6. LUCENE-3222: The RAM accounting for buffered delete terms was failing to measure the space required to hold the term's field and text character data.
  (Mike McCandless)
7. LUCENE-3238: Fixed bug where using WildcardQuery("prefix*") inside of a SpanMultiTermQueryWrapper rewrote incorrectly and returned an error instead.
  (ludovic Boutros, Uwe Schindler, Robert Muir)
API Changes (2)
1. LUCENE-3208: Renamed protected IndexSearcher.createWeight() to expert public method IndexSearcher.createNormalizedWeight() as this better describes what this method does. The old method is still there for backwards compatibility. Query.weight() was deprecated and simply delegates to IndexSearcher. Both deprecated methods will be removed in Lucene 4.0.
  (Uwe Schindler, Robert Muir, Yonik Seeley)
2. LUCENE-3197: MergePolicy.findMergesForOptimize now takes Map<SegmentInfo,Boolean> instead of Set<SegmentInfo> as the second argument, so the merge policy knows which segments were originally present vs produced by an optimizing merge
  (Mike McCandless)
Optimizations (1)
1. LUCENE-1736: DateTools.java general improvements.
  (David Smiley via Steve Rowe)
New Features (5)
1. LUCENE-3140: Added experimental FST implementation to Lucene.
  (Robert Muir, Dawid Weiss, Mike McCandless)
2. LUCENE-3193: A new TwoPhaseCommitTool allows running a 2-phase commit algorithm over objects that implement the new TwoPhaseCommit interface (such as IndexWriter).
  (Shai Erera)
3. LUCENE-3191: Added TopDocs.merge, to facilitate merging results from different shards
  (Uwe Schindler, Mike McCandless)
4. LUCENE-3179: Added OpenBitSet.prevSetBit
  (Paul Elschot via Mike McCandless)
5. LUCENE-3210: Made TieredMergePolicy more aggressive in reclaiming segments with deletions; added new methods set/getReclaimDeletesWeight to control this.
  (Mike McCandless)
Build (2)
1. LUCENE-1344: Create OSGi bundle using dev-tools/maven.
  (Nicolas Lalevée, Luca Stancapiano via ryan)
2. LUCENE-3204: The maven-ant-tasks jar is now included in the source tree; users of the generate-maven-artifacts target no longer have to manually place this jar in the Ant classpath. NOTE: when Ant looks for the maven-ant-tasks jar, it looks first in its pre-existing classpath, so any copies it finds will be used instead of the copy included in the Lucene/Solr source tree. For this reason, it is recommeded to remove any copies of the maven-ant-tasks jar in the Ant classpath, e.g. under ~/.ant/lib/ or under the Ant installation's lib/ directory.
  (Steve Rowe)

Release 3.2.0 [2011-06-03]

Changes in backwards compatibility policy (3)
1. LUCENE-2953: PriorityQueue's internal heap was made private, as subclassing with generics can lead to ClassCastException. For advanced use (e.g. in Solr) a method getHeapArray() was added to retrieve the internal heap array as a non-generic Object[].
  (Uwe Schindler, Yonik Seeley)
2. LUCENE-1076: IndexWriter.setInfoStream now throws IOException
  (Mike McCandless, Shai Erera)
3. LUCENE-3084: MergePolicy.OneMerge.segments was changed from SegmentInfos to a List<SegmentInfo>. SegmentInfos itself was changed to no longer extend Vector<SegmentInfo> (to update code that is using Vector-API, use the new asList() and asSet() methods returning unmodifiable collections; modifying SegmentInfos is now only possible through the explicitely declared methods). IndexWriter.segString() now takes Iterable<SegmentInfo> instead of List<SegmentInfo>. A simple recompile should fix this. MergePolicy and SegmentInfos are internal/experimental APIs not covered by the strict backwards compatibility policy.
  (Uwe Schindler, Mike McCandless)
Changes in runtime behavior (2)
1. LUCENE-3065: When a NumericField is retrieved from a Document loaded from IndexReader (or IndexSearcher), it will now come back as NumericField not as a Field with a string-ified version of the numeric value you had indexed. Note that this only applies for newly-indexed Documents; older indices will still return Field with the string-ified numeric value. If you call Document.get(), the value comes still back as String, but Document.getFieldable() returns NumericField instances.
  (Uwe Schindler, Ryan McKinley, Mike McCandless)
2. LUCENE-1076: Changed the default merge policy from LogByteSizeMergePolicy to TieredMergePolicy, as of Version.LUCENE_32 (passed to IndexWriterConfig), which is able to merge non-contiguous segments. This means docIDs no longer necessarily stay "in order" during indexing. If this is a problem then you can use either of the LogMergePolicy impls.
  (Mike McCandless)
New features (5)
1. LUCENE-3082: Added index upgrade tool oal.index.IndexUpgrader that allows to upgrade all segments to last recent supported index format without fully optimizing.
  (Uwe Schindler, Mike McCandless)
2. LUCENE-1076: Added TieredMergePolicy which is able to merge non-contiguous segments, which means docIDs no longer necessarily stay "in order".
  (Mike McCandless, Shai Erera)
3. LUCENE-3071: Adding ReversePathHierarchyTokenizer, added skip parameter to PathHierarchyTokenizer
  (Olivier Favre via ryan)
4. LUCENE-1421, LUCENE-3102: added CachingCollector which allow you to cache document IDs and scores encountered during the search, and "replay" them to another Collector.
  (Mike McCandless, Shai Erera)
5. LUCENE-3112: Added experimental IndexWriter.add/updateDocuments, enabling a block of documents to be indexed, atomically, with guaranteed sequential docIDs.
  (Mike McCandless)
API Changes (3)
1. LUCENE-3061: IndexWriter's getNextMerge() and merge(OneMerge) are now public (though @lucene.experimental), allowing for custom MergeScheduler implementations.
  (Shai Erera)
2. LUCENE-3065: Document.getField() was deprecated, as it throws ClassCastException when loading lazy fields or NumericFields.
  (Uwe Schindler, Ryan McKinley, Mike McCandless)
3. LUCENE-2027: Directory.touchFile is deprecated and will be removed in 4.0.
  (Mike McCandless)
Optimizations (3)
1. LUCENE-2990: ArrayUtil/CollectionUtil.*Sort() methods now exit early on empty or one-element lists/arrays.
  (Uwe Schindler)
2. LUCENE-2897: Apply deleted terms while flushing a segment. We still buffer deleted terms to later apply to past segments.
  (Mike McCandless)
3. LUCENE-3126: IndexWriter.addIndexes copies incoming segments into CFS if they aren't already and MergePolicy allows that.
  (Shai Erera)
Bug fixes (6)
1. LUCENE-2996: addIndexes(IndexReader) did not flush before adding the new indexes, causing existing deletions to be applied on the incoming indexes as well.
  (Shai Erera, Mike McCandless)
2. LUCENE-3024: Index with more than 2.1B terms was hitting AIOOBE when seeking TermEnum (eg used by Solr's faceting)
  (Tom Burton-West, Mike McCandless)
3. LUCENE-3042: When a filter or consumer added Attributes to a TokenStream chain after it was already (partly) consumed [or clearAttributes(), captureState(), cloneAttributes(),... was called by the Tokenizer], the Tokenizer calling clearAttributes() or capturing state after addition may not do this on the newly added Attribute. This bug affected only very special use cases of the TokenStream-API, most users would not have recognized it.
  (Uwe Schindler, Robert Muir)
4. LUCENE-3054: PhraseQuery can in some cases stack overflow in SorterTemplate.quickSort(). This fix also adds an optimization to PhraseQuery as term with lower doc freq will also have less positions.
  (Uwe Schindler, Robert Muir, Otis Gospodnetic)
5. LUCENE-3068: sloppy phrase query failed to match valid documents when multiple query terms had same position in the query.
  (Doron Cohen)
6. LUCENE-3012: Lucene writes the header now for separate norm files (*.sNNN)
  (Robert Muir)
Build (2)
1. LUCENE-3006: Building javadocs will fail on warnings by default. Override with -Dfailonjavadocwarning=false
  (sarowe, gsingers)
2. LUCENE-3128: "ant eclipse" creates a .project file for easier Eclipse integration (unless one already exists).
  (Daniel Serodio via Shai Erera)
Test Cases (1)
1. LUCENE-3002: added 'tests.iter.min' to control 'tests.iter' by allowing to stop iterating if at least 'tests.iter.min' ran and a failure occured.
  (Shai Erera, Chris Hostetter)

Release 3.1.0 [2011-03-31]

Changes in backwards compatibility policy (18)
1. LUCENE-2719: Changed API of internal utility class org.apache.lucene.util.SorterTemplate to support faster quickSort using pivot values and also merge sort and insertion sort. If you have used this class, you have to implement two more methods for handling pivots.
  (Uwe Schindler, Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
2. LUCENE-1923: Renamed SegmentInfo & SegmentInfos segString method to toString. These are advanced APIs and subject to change suddenly.
  (Tim Smith via Mike McCandless)
3. LUCENE-2190: Removed deprecated customScore() and customExplain() methods from experimental CustomScoreQuery.
  (Uwe Schindler)
4. LUCENE-2286: Enabled DefaultSimilarity.setDiscountOverlaps by default. This means that terms with a position increment gap of zero do not affect the norms calculation by default.
  (Robert Muir)
5. LUCENE-2320: MergePolicy.writer is now of type SetOnce, which allows setting the IndexWriter for a MergePolicy exactly once. You can change references to 'writer' from writer.doXYZ() to writer.get().doXYZ() (it is also advisable to add an assert writer != null; before you access the wrapped IndexWriter.)
  In addition, MergePolicy only exposes a default constructor, and the one that took IndexWriter as argument has been removed from all MergePolicy extensions.
  (Shai Erera via Mike McCandless)
6. LUCENE-2328: SimpleFSDirectory.SimpleFSIndexInput is moved to FSDirectory.FSIndexInput. Anyone extending this class will have to fix their code on upgrading.
  (Earwin Burrfoot via Mike McCandless)
7. LUCENE-2302: The new interface for term attributes, CharTermAttribute, now implements CharSequence. This requires the toString() methods of CharTermAttribute, deprecated TermAttribute, and Token to return only the term text and no other attribute contents. LUCENE-2374 implements an attribute reflection API to no longer rely on toString() for attribute inspection.
  (Uwe Schindler, Robert Muir)
8. LUCENE-2372, LUCENE-2389: StandardAnalyzer, KeywordAnalyzer, PerFieldAnalyzerWrapper, WhitespaceTokenizer are now final. Also removed the now obsolete and deprecated Analyzer.setOverridesTokenStreamMethod(). Analyzer and TokenStream base classes now have an assertion in their ctor, that check subclasses to be final or at least have final implementations of incrementToken(), tokenStream(), and reusableTokenStream().
  (Uwe Schindler, Robert Muir)
9. LUCENE-2316: Directory.fileLength contract was clarified - it returns the actual file's length if the file exists, and throws FileNotFoundException otherwise. Returning length=0 for a non-existent file is no longer allowed. If you relied on that, make sure to catch the exception.
  (Shai Erera)
10. LUCENE-2386: IndexWriter no longer performs an empty commit upon new index creation. Previously, if you passed an empty Directory and set OpenMode to CREATE*, IndexWriter would make a first empty commit. If you need that behavior you can call writer.commit()/close() immediately after you create it.
  (Shai Erera, Mike McCandless)
11. LUCENE-2733: Removed public constructors of utility classes with only static methods to prevent instantiation.
  (Uwe Schindler)
12. LUCENE-2602: The default (LogByteSizeMergePolicy) merge policy now takes deletions into account by default. You can disable this by calling setCalibrateSizeByDeletes(false) on the merge policy.
  (Mike McCandless)
13. LUCENE-2529, LUCENE-2668: Position increment gap and offset gap of empty values in multi-valued field has been changed for some cases in index. If you index empty fields and uses positions/offsets information on that fields, reindex is recommended.
  (David Smiley, Koji Sekiguchi)
14. LUCENE-2804: Directory.setLockFactory new declares throwing an IOException.
  (Shai Erera, Robert Muir)
15. LUCENE-2837: Added deprecations noting that in 4.0, Searcher and Searchable are collapsed into IndexSearcher; contrib/remote and MultiSearcher have been removed.
  (Mike McCandless)
16. LUCENE-2854: Deprecated SimilarityDelegator and Similarity.lengthNorm; the latter is now final, forcing any custom Similarity impls to cutover to the more general computeNorm
  (Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
17. LUCENE-2869: Deprecated Query.getSimilarity: instead of using "runtime" subclassing/delegation, subclass the Weight instead.
  (Robert Muir)
18. LUCENE-2674: A new idfExplain method was added to Similarity, that accepts an incoming docFreq. If you subclass Similarity, make sure you also override this method on upgrade.
  (Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
Changes in runtime behavior (13)
1. LUCENE-1923: Made IndexReader.toString() produce something meaningful
  (Tim Smith via Mike McCandless)
2. LUCENE-2179: CharArraySet.clear() is now functional.
  (Robert Muir, Uwe Schindler)
3. LUCENE-2455: IndexWriter.addIndexes no longer optimizes the target index before it adds the new ones. Also, the existing segments are not merged and so the index will not end up with a single segment (unless it was empty before). In addition, addIndexesNoOptimize was renamed to addIndexes and no longer invokes a merge on the incoming and target segments, but instead copies the segments to the target index. You can call maybeMerge or optimize after this method completes, if you need to.
  In addition, Directory.copyTo* were removed in favor of copy which takes the target Directory, source and target files as arguments, and copies the source file to the target Directory under the target file name.
  (Shai Erera)
4. LUCENE-2663: IndexWriter no longer forcefully clears any existing locks when create=true. This was a holdover from when SimpleFSLockFactory was the default locking implementation, and, even then it was dangerous since it could mask bugs in IndexWriter's usage, allowing applications to accidentally open two writers on the same directory.
  (Mike McCandless)
5. LUCENE-2701: maxMergeMBForOptimize and maxMergeDocs constraints set on LogMergePolicy now affect optimize() as well (as opposed to only regular merges). This means that you can run optimize() and too large segments won't be merged.
  (Shai Erera)
6. LUCENE-2753: IndexReader and DirectoryReader .listCommits() now return a List, guaranteeing the commits are sorted from oldest to latest.
  (Shai Erera)
7. LUCENE-2785: TopScoreDocCollector, TopFieldCollector and the IndexSearcher search methods that take an int nDocs will now throw IllegalArgumentException if nDocs is 0. Instead, you should use the newly added TotalHitCountCollector.
  (Mike McCandless)
8. LUCENE-2790: LogMergePolicy.useCompoundFile's logic now factors in noCFSRatio to determine whether the passed in segment should be compound.
  (Shai Erera, Earwin Burrfoot)
9. LUCENE-2805: IndexWriter now increments the index version on every change to the index instead of for every commit. Committing or closing the IndexWriter without any changes to the index will not cause any index version increment.
  (Simon Willnauer, Mike McCandless)
10. LUCENE-2650, LUCENE-2825: The behavior of FSDirectory.open has changed. On 64-bit Windows and Solaris systems that support unmapping, FSDirectory.open returns MMapDirectory. Additionally the behavior of MMapDirectory has been changed to enable unmapping by default if supported by the JRE.
  (Mike McCandless, Uwe Schindler, Robert Muir)
11. LUCENE-2829: Improve the performance of "primary key" lookup use case (running a TermQuery that matches one document) on a multi-segment index.
  (Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
12. LUCENE-2010: Segments with 100% deleted documents are now removed on IndexReader or IndexWriter commit.
  (Uwe Schindler, Mike McCandless)
13. LUCENE-2960: Allow some changes to IndexWriterConfig to take effect "live" (after an IW is instantiated), via IndexWriter.getConfig().setXXX(...)
  (Shay Banon, Mike McCandless)
API Changes (26)
1. LUCENE-2076: Rename FSDirectory.getFile -> getDirectory.
  (George Aroush via Mike McCandless)
2. LUCENE-1260: Change norm encode (float->byte) and decode (byte->float) to be instance methods not static methods. This way a custom Similarity can alter how norms are encoded, though they must still be encoded as a single byte
  (Johan Kindgren via Mike McCandless)
3. LUCENE-2103: NoLockFactory should have a private constructor; until Lucene 4.0 the default one will be deprecated.
  (Shai Erera via Uwe Schindler)
4. LUCENE-2177: Deprecate the Field ctors that take byte[] and Store. Since the removal of compressed fields, Store can only be YES, so it's not necessary to specify.
  (Erik Hatcher via Mike McCandless)
5. LUCENE-2200: Several final classes had non-overriding protected members. These were converted to private and unused protected constructors removed.
  (Steven Rowe via Robert Muir)
6. LUCENE-2240: SimpleAnalyzer and WhitespaceAnalyzer now have Version ctors.
  (Simon Willnauer via Uwe Schindler)
7. LUCENE-2259: Add IndexWriter.deleteUnusedFiles, to attempt removing unused files. This is only useful on Windows, which prevents deletion of open files. IndexWriter will eventually remove these files itself; this method just lets you do so when you know the files are no longer open by IndexReaders.
  (luocanrao via Mike McCandless)
8. LUCENE-2282: IndexFileNames is exposed as a public class allowing for easier use by external code. In addition it offers a matchExtension method which callers can use to query whether a certain file matches a certain extension.
  (Shai Erera via Mike McCandless)
9. LUCENE-124: Add a TopTermsBoostOnlyBooleanQueryRewrite to MultiTermQuery. This rewrite method is similar to TopTermsScoringBooleanQueryRewrite, but only scores terms by their boost values. For example, this can be used with FuzzyQuery to ensure that exact matches are always scored higher, because only the boost will be used in scoring.
  (Robert Muir)
10. LUCENE-2015: Add a static method foldToASCII to ASCIIFoldingFilter to expose its folding logic.
  (Cédrik Lime via Robert Muir)
11. LUCENE-2294: IndexWriter constructors have been deprecated in favor of a single ctor which accepts IndexWriterConfig and a Directory. You can set all the parameters related to IndexWriter on IndexWriterConfig. The different setter/getter methods were deprecated as well. One should call writer.getConfig().getXYZ() to query for a parameter XYZ. Additionally, the setter/getter related to MergePolicy were deprecated as well. One should interact with the MergePolicy directly.
  (Shai Erera via Mike McCandless)
12. LUCENE-2320: IndexWriter's MergePolicy configuration was moved to IndexWriterConfig and the respective methods on IndexWriter were deprecated.
  (Shai Erera via Mike McCandless)
13. LUCENE-2328: Directory now keeps track itself of the files that are written but not yet fsynced. The old Directory.sync(String file) method is deprecated and replaced with Directory.sync(Collection<String> files). Take a look at FSDirectory to see a sample of how such tracking might look like, if needed in your custom Directories.
  (Earwin Burrfoot via Mike McCandless)
14. LUCENE-2302: Deprecated TermAttribute and replaced by a new CharTermAttribute. The change is backwards compatible, so mixed new/old TokenStreams all work on the same char[] buffer independent of which interface they use. CharTermAttribute has shorter method names and implements CharSequence and Appendable. This allows usage like Java's StringBuilder in addition to direct char[] access. Also terms can directly be used in places where CharSequence is allowed (e.g. regular expressions).
  (Uwe Schindler, Robert Muir)
15. LUCENE-2402: IndexWriter.deleteUnusedFiles now deletes unreferenced commit points too. If you use an IndexDeletionPolicy which holds onto index commits (such as SnapshotDeletionPolicy), you can call this method to remove those commit points when they are not needed anymore (instead of waiting for the next commit).
  (Shai Erera)
16. LUCENE-2481: SnapshotDeletionPolicy.snapshot() and release() were replaced with equivalent ones that take a String (id) as argument. You can pass whatever ID you want, as long as you use the same one when calling both.
  (Shai Erera)
17. LUCENE-2356: Add IndexWriterConfig.set/getReaderTermIndexDivisor, to set what IndexWriter passes for termsIndexDivisor to the readers it opens internally when apply deletions or creating a near-real-time reader.

18. LUCENE-2167,LUCENE-2699,LUCENE-2763,LUCENE-2847: StandardTokenizer/Analyzer in common/standard/ now implement the Word Break rules from the Unicode 6.0.0 Text Segmentation algorithm (UAX#29), covering the full range of Unicode code points, including values from U+FFFF to U+10FFFF
  ClassicTokenizer/Analyzer retains the old (pre-Lucene 3.1) StandardTokenizer/ Analyzer implementation and behavior. Only the Unicode Basic Multilingual Plane (code points from U+0000 to U+FFFF) is covered.
  UAX29URLEmailTokenizer tokenizes URLs and E-mail addresses according to the relevant RFCs, in addition to implementing the UAX#29 Word Break rules.

19. LUCENE-2778: RAMDirectory now exposes newRAMFile() which allows to override and return a different RAMFile implementation.
  (Shai Erera)
20. LUCENE-2785: Added TotalHitCountCollector whose sole purpose is to count the number of hits matching the query.
  (Mike McCandless)
21. LUCENE-2846: Deprecated IndexReader.setNorm(int, String, float). This method is only syntactic sugar for setNorm(int, String, byte), but using the global Similarity.getDefault().encodeNormValue(). Use the byte-based method instead to ensure that the norm is encoded with your Similarity.
  (Robert Muir, Mike McCandless)
22. LUCENE-2374: Added Attribute reflection API: It's now possible to inspect the contents of AttributeImpl and AttributeSource using a well-defined API. This is e.g. used by Solr's AnalysisRequestHandlers to display all attributes in a structured way. There are also some backwards incompatible changes in toString() output, as LUCENE-2302 introduced the CharSequence interface to CharTermAttribute leading to changed toString() return values. The new API allows to get a string representation in a well-defined way using a new method reflectAsString(). For backwards compatibility reasons, when toString() was implemented by implementation subclasses, the default implementation of AttributeImpl.reflectWith() uses toString()s output instead to report the Attribute's properties. Otherwise, reflectWith() uses Java's reflection (like toString() did before) to get the attribute properties. In addition, the mandatory equals() and hashCode() are no longer required for AttributeImpls, but can still be provided (if needed).

23. LUCENE-2691: Deprecate IndexWriter.getReader in favor of IndexReader.open(IndexWriter)
  (Grant Ingersoll, Mike McCandless)
24. LUCENE-2876: Deprecated Scorer.getSimilarity(). If your Scorer uses a Similarity, it should keep it itself. Fixed Scorers to pass their parent Weight, so that Scorer.visitSubScorers (LUCENE-2590) will work correctly.
  (Robert Muir, Doron Cohen)
25. LUCENE-2900: When opening a near-real-time (NRT) reader (IndexReader.re/open(IndexWriter)) you can now specify whether deletes should be applied. Applying deletes can be costly, and some expert use cases can handle seeing deleted documents returned. The deletes remain buffered so that the next time you open an NRT reader and pass true, all deletes will be a applied.
  (Mike McCandless)
26. LUCENE-1253: LengthFilter (and Solr's KeepWordTokenFilter) now require up front specification of enablePositionIncrement. Together with StopFilter they have a common base class (FilteringTokenFilter) that handles the position increments automatically. Implementors only need to override an accept() method that filters tokens.
  (Uwe Schindler, Robert Muir)
Bug fixes (23)
1. LUCENE-2249: ParallelMultiSearcher should shut down thread pool on close.
  (Martin Traverso via Uwe Schindler)
2. LUCENE-2273: FieldCacheImpl.getCacheEntries() used WeakHashMap incorrectly and lead to ConcurrentModificationException.
  (Uwe Schindler, Robert Muir)
3. LUCENE-2328: Index files fsync tracking moved from IndexWriter/IndexReader to Directory, and it no longer leaks memory.
