Hi,

Version 0.9 is almost done. Most of the features I wanted to implement  
(and there are many of them 😉 ) are done, with the only feature left is to  
reimplement the cloud plugin, initially only to support amazon (rackspace  
will come in a later version). I am working on implementing it (funnily  
enough, no amazon cloud library is good enough to do what I want, not even  
amazon formal one) and once its done 0.9 will be released.

In the meantime, and because of the scope of the release, I would love  
people to start using 0.9 and see if they can help flush any problems with  
it. Mainly focusing on things that might broke from 0.8, but also, if  
possible, testdrive the new features like facets, new Java API, reuse of  
work directory (to name a few).

Thanks,  
shay.banon

Hey Shay,

Sorry I haven't been following the development of 0.9 until very  
recently (and rereading all the old forum posts would take way too  
much time), but I'm not sure where to start looking to start using the  
new API. Where would be a good place to start? Do you have any  
documentation written besides JavaDoc?

Thanks,

Stephen.

Hi,

there is a nice summary of changes and updates in release notes on wiki:  
[http://wiki.github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/release-notes](http://wiki.github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/release-notes)

I think this is a very good document you can start with for now.  
[http://wiki.github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/release-notes](http://wiki.github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/release-notes)Just note  
that this document itself is still a draft and is a subject to change.

Regards,  
Lukas

If I switch from 0.8 to 0.9 (assuming same configuration), do I have to  
reindex everything again?

Hi,

is there any other reason for data reindexing then gateway refactoring:  
[Gateway: Internal refactoring, requires manual upgrade when using fs gateway · Issue #232 · elastic/elasticsearch · GitHub](http://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/issues/232) (and there is a  
note that only manual update of metadata is needed, not complete reindexing)  
or is it due to upgrading the Lucene jar to higher version? Or any other  
reason? I think this should be explicitly mentioned in release notes  
[http://wiki.github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/release-notes](http://wiki.github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/release-notes) and if any  
details are available (ticket #) then let's attach reference to it.

Regards,  
Lukas

I mentioned the reasons on several posts I made to the mailing list. The  
reason behind it is the "reuse work directory when recovering from gateway"  
feature.

So when switching from 0.8 to 0.9 then one must "convert" metadata via  
manual update (described in the issue 232) but data in index must be  
comletely reindexed.

If you reindex, then you probably create the indices already, so no need to  
bother with the cluster metadata.

Ah... good point. I added note to release notes (so that I do not have to  
ask again the next time 🙂

Hello, Shay.

The new "facet" features of 9.0 (terms especially) are turning out to be incredibly useful.  
I have been working from snapshots of 9.0, but I was wondering how close you are to a 9.0 release.

Regards, Jack

Having a bit of a snag with the cloud plugin. Due to all the other features  
in elasticsearch, I might release 0.9 and with a special notice that the  
cloud plugin is in alpha stage, and I will address it for 0.9.1. Hopefully  
0.9 will be released in a few days.
