Right, I was debating throwing that in myself - its great stuff, but I
wasn't sure how much of a feature benefit it brought now. My
understanding is that its main benefit is along the flexible indexing
path and using multiple consumers eg its more setup for the goodness yet
to come. My understanding is certainly less than yours though :)

Well look at the issues and see for yourself :)
Its a subjective call I think. Heres my take:
There are not going to be too many sweeping changes in the next
release. There are tons of little bug fixes and improvements, but not
a lot of the bullet point type stuff that you mention in your
wishlist. Its a whole lot of little steps forward.
When it comes to sorting, there a couple possible goodies coming in
the next release:
TrieRangeQuery has been added to contrib. Super awesome, super
efficient, large scale sorting.
Work is ongoing to change searching semantics so that sorting is much
faster in many cases. In fact, their may be search speed improvements
across the board in many cases (don't quote me <g>). Sort fieldcache
loading in the multi segment case will likely also be *blazingly*
faster. Also, Filters and Fieldcaches may be pushed down to a single
segment, making reopening sort fieldcaches *much* more efficient.
Thats a nice step towards realtime.
RangeQuery, PrefixQuery and WildcardQuery will all have a constant
score mode as well - this avoids maxclause limits and is often much
faster on very large indexes.
Locallucene, a very cool bit of code that allows geo search, might
make contrib for the next release.
Beyond that, there are a few more little gems, but its a lot of
little fixes and improvements more than big features.
Column stride fields and flexible indexing will not be in the next
release in my opinion, but a lot of progress towards flexible
indexing has been made.
Keep in mind thats a biased view of the next release - I worked on
two of those issues. Be sure to take it all with a healthy grain of
salt.

Does Lucene 2.9 has real time search? Any improvements in sorting?
Any facility to store a payload per document (without updating
document)?
Please highlight the important feature?

Subject: Re: Approximate release date for Lucene 2.9
Well... there are a couple threads on java-dev discussing this "now":
http://www.nabble.com/2.9-3.0-plan---Java-1.5-td20972994.html
http://www.nabble.com/2.9,-3.0-and-deprecation-td20099343.html
though they seem to have petered out.
Also we have 29 open issues for 2.9:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?reset=true&&pid=12310110&fixfor=12312682&resolution=-1&sorter/field=priority&sorter/order=DESC
For 2.4 it took at least a month to whittle the list down to 0.
So it's hard to say? I'd love to see 2.9 out earlyish next year
though.
