Uwe Schindler resolved LUCENE-3082. ----------------------------------- Resolution: Fixed Committed trunk revision: 1101088 Committed 3.x revision: 1101093 > Add tool to upgrade all segments of an index to last recent supported index > format without optimizing > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: LUCENE-3082 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-3082 > Project: Lucene - Java > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: Index > Reporter: Uwe Schindler > Assignee: Uwe Schindler > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 3.2, 4.0 > > Attachments: LUCENE-3082.patch, LUCENE-3082.patch, LUCENE-3082.patch, > LUCENE-3082.patch, LUCENE-3082.patch, index.31.optimized.cfs.zip, > index.31.optimized.nocfs.zip > > > Currently if you want to upgrade an old index to the format of your current > Lucene version, you have to optimize your index or use > addIndexes(IndexReader...) [see LUCENE-2893] to copy to a new directory. The > optimize() approach fails if your index is already optimized. > I propose to add a custom MergePolicy to upgrade all segments to the last > format. This MergePolicy could simply also ignore all segments already > up-to-date. All segments in prior formats would be merged to a new segment > using another MergePolicy's optimize strategy. > This issue is different from LUCENE-2893, as it would only support upgrading > indexes from previous Lucene versions in-place using the official path. Its a > tool for the end user, not a developer tool. > This addition should also go to Lucene 3.x, as we need to make users with > pre-3.0 indexes go the step through 3.x, else they would not be able to open > their index with 4.0. With this tool in 3.x the users could safely upgrade > their index without relying on optimize to work on already-optimized indexes. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
