I am a big fan of Hibernate technologies and the search capabilities. I am concerned though that we are deferring how to untangle the Hibernate Search/Infinispan/WildFly dependencies.
I raised a few questions on the wildfly-dev mailing list, some that got answered but one important issue didn't. The question is about scheduling and how to coordinate the WildFly/Hibernate ORM/Hibernate Search/Infinispan releases such that if one component breaks the others at the end of a release cycle, how to deal with that. This isn't really my problem as I don't schedule any of these components but it would be wrong of me not to point this out. Are there any infinispan-dev mailing list threads discussing how to remove the Infinispan dependency on Hibernate Search in 2014, so that we aren't forced into keeping Hibernate Search in WildFly 9?

Jipijapa could help standardize how WildFly integrates with search providers.
