With a slight delay, but still, 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 9.7.
Some of the changes included in the Apache Lucene 9.7:
- From now, when using Java 19 to 21 on supported platforms MMapDirectory will mmap Lucene indexes using 16GiB chunks instead of the 1GiB.
- Support for function queries for computing similarity scores
The complete list of changes can be found at: https://lucene.apache.org/core/9_7_0/changes/Changes.html.
