Tantivy 0.10.0 is released.
Tantivy is a search engine library inspired by Lucene.
It is already fast.
I think it is fair to say this release does not contain any major changes, considering
the amount of time since last release.
Life have been pretty busy, and a large amount of my tantivy time is spent answering emails/issues/messages nowadays.
Fortunately, tantivy now has a lot of contributors that can help polish the project into a great search engine library.
Kudos to @hntd187, @petr-tik, @fdb-hiroshima, @kompass, @uvd, and @drusellers for the great work!
Thanks also to all of the patreons :
Colin, Florian, Frederik, Nate, Sanghyeon, Stephen and Zane!
Any kind of support -communication, code, patreon- really helps tantivy!
Here goes the changelog :
Tantivy 0.10.0
Tantivy 0.10.0 index format is compatible with the index format in 0.9.0.
-
Added an API to easily tweak or entirely replace the
default score. See TopDocs::tweak_scoreand TopScore::custom_score (@pmasure
l)
-
Added an ASCII folding filter (@drusellers)
-
Bugfix in query.count in presence of deletes (@pmasurel)
-
Added .explain(...) in Query and Weight to (@pmasurel)
-
Added an efficient way to delete_all_documents in IndexWriter (@petr-tik).
All segments are simply removed.
Minor
- Switched to Rust 2018 (@uvd)
- Small simplification of the code.
Calling .freq() or .doc() when .advance() has never been called
on segment postings should panic from now on.
- Tokens exceeding
u16::max_value() - 4 chars are discarded silently instead o
f panicking.
- Fast fields are now preloaded when the
SegmentReader is created.
IndexMeta is now public. (@hntd187)IndexWriter add_document, delete_term. IndexWriter is Sync, making i
t possible to use it with a Arc<RwLock<IndexWriter>>. add_document and delete_term can
only require a read lock. (@pmasurel)- Introducing
Opstamp as an expressive type alias for u64. (@petr-tik)
- Stamper now relies on
AtomicU64 on all platforms (@petr-tik)
- Bugfix - Files get deleted slightly earlier
- Compilation resources improved (@fdb-hiroshima)
How to update?
Your program should be usable as is.
Fast fields
Fast fields used to be accessed directly from the SegmentReader.
The API changed, you are now required to acquire your fast field reader via the
segment_reader.fast_fields(), and use one of the typed method:
.u64(), .i64() if your field is single-valued ;.u64s(), .i64s() if your field is multi-valued ;.bytes() if your field is bytes fast field.
