Shay,

Just read over the release notes from all the RC's and the final and wanted  
to say that the pace of delivery is amazing. Thank you for a great product!

What are the themes/main features for the .20 release?

--Mike

Facets memory optimization as Shay wrote before.

Thanks David - perhaps my memory needs optimization. I was more curious  
though if there's a running list of features/bugs that were being planned  
for the release.

The major changes for the next few weeks on 0.20 that I was planning to try and tackle (hopefully successfully 🙂 ) are:

- Better shard allocation, initially trying to even out shard allocation also based on which index they belong to, to get even distribution also within an index across a cluster.
- Refactor the field data support, allowing for different pluggable implementations, which can allow for ones that are more optimized for memory usage for example. It will tie in with the mapping allowing to decide which one to use on which field, though the aim is to have sensible auto detected defaults.
- Refactor the search execution code, to allow for more interesting search executions, like one that does grouping. Once its done, try and see if we can tackle grouping.

All the above sound excellent.

I think you probably have this planned for another version, but a  
feature I'd love to see is: more visibility of nested docs.

For instance:

- which of my 10 nested Comments caused this Blog to match my query?
- with highlighting per nested doc
- sorting by a field in a matching nested doc

I agree, all of those changes are great. I am especially excited about the  
potential for grouping!

@Clinton: I am not sure how the sorting on a nested document field would  
work. If you have multiple nested documents, then it could hit on multiple  
nested documents, and then it would not be clear as to which to sort on. If  
there is only one nested document per root document, then you could have a  
copy of the sort field on the root document.

You could choose to sort on the best matching nested doc, for instance.
