It is a pleasure to inform you that a new version of the Apache Lucene library has been released. It is the next release from the 9.x branch – Lucene 9.4.
Some of the changes included in the Apache Lucene 9.4:
- FacetSets can now be filtered using a Query by using MatchingFacetSetCounts.
- Support for Java 19 foreign memory access was added – when the –enable-preview flag will be passed to your Java application Lucene will be able to use the new API with MMapDirectory.
- KnnVector fields can be stored with 8-bit precision now saving storage and improving query latency slightly.
The full list of changes can be found at: https://lucene.apache.org/core/9_4_0/changes/Changes.html.
