0.19.0 Released

Heya

  • 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
