From: Apache Lucene News:

The Lucene PMC is pleased to announce the availability
of Apache Lucene 4.5 and Apache Solr 4.5.

Lucene can be downloaded from http://lucene.apache.org/core/mirrors-core-latest-redir.html and Solr can be downloaded from http://lucene.apache.org/solr/mirrors-solr-latest-redir.html

See the Lucene CHANGES.txt and Solr CHANGES.txt files included with the release for a full list of details.

Highlights of the Lucene release include:

  • Added support for missing values to DocValues fields through AtomicReader.getDocsWithField.
  • Lucene 4.5 has a new Lucene45Codec with Lucene45DocValues, supporting missing values and with most datastructures residing off-heap.
  • New in-memory DocIdSet implementations which are especially better than FixedBitSet on small sets: WAH8DocIdSet, PFORDeltaDocIdSet and EliasFanoDocIdSet.
  • CachingWrapperFilter now caches filters with WAH8DocIdSet by default, which has the same memory usage as FixedBitSet in the worst case but is smaller and faster on small sets.
  • TokenStreams now set the position increment in end(), so we can handle trailing holes.
  • IndexWriter no longer clones the given IndexWriterConfig.

Lucene 4.5 also includes numerous optimizations and bugfixes.

Highlights of the Solr release include:

  • Custom sharding support, including the ability to shard by field.
  • DocValue improvements: single valued fields no longer require a default value, allowiing dynamicFields to contain doc values, as well as sortMissingFirst and sortMissingLast on docValue fields.
  • Ability to store solr.xml in ZooKeeper.
  • Multithreaded faceting.
  • CloudSolrServer can now route updates directly to the appropriate shard leader.

Solr 4.5 also includes numerous optimizations and bugfixes.

Excellent!
