--------------------------------------
Hi,
there is any plan for updating lucene version? As mentioned
[here|https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2017-12629] the version currently
used has critical vulnerabilites.
Marco.
> Consider upgrading to newer Lucene versions

> Key: OAK-6412
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OAK-6412
> Project: Jackrabbit Oak
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: lucene
> Reporter: Tommaso Teofili
> Assignee: Tommaso Teofili
> Priority: Major
>
> An year ago I had started prototyping the upgrade to Lucene 5 [1], in the
> meantime version 6 (and 7 soon) has come out.
> I think it'd be very nice to upgrade Lucene version to the latest, this would
> give us improvements in space consumption and runtime performance.
> In case we want to upgrade to 6.0 or later we need to consider upgrade
> scenarios because Lucene Codecs are backward compatible with the previous
> major release, so Lucene 6 can read Lucene 5 but not Lucene 4.x (4.7 in our
> case) therefore we would need to detect that when reading an index and
> trigger reindexing using the new format.
> Related to that there's also a patch to upgrade Solr index to version 5 (see
> OAK-4318).
