Jamie, I just went through an upgrade from 3 to 5. We used faceting, highlighting, search, explanation, etc ….It took us 3 months and that was a hard push (2 to 3 people dedicated to the effort). Don’t put off the upgrade. The performance is worth the pain. SCott > On Apr 26, 2016, at 12

upgrading lucene 4 to 6

2016-04-25 Thread Jamie
Hi Uwe Looking at the magnitude of the API changes from Lucene 4 to 6, I don't think we'll ever be able to upgrade. It seems the API has been modified to a large extent. Is there any chance that the bug fixes will back ported to the 4.0 branch? Jamie
