Migration Guide 1.4

Hibernate Search + Elasticsearch (Preview)

Configuration properties relative to Elasticsearch index lifecycle management have changed. See this section of the reference documentation for detailed documentation about schema management.

In short:

• quarkus.hibernate-search.elasticsearch.index_defaults.lifecycle.strategy is now quarkus.hibernate-search.schema-management.strategy and accepts the same values as before: none, create, validate, update, ...
• A new schema management strategy on startup was introduced: create-or-validate. It create indexes if they don't exist, validates their schema if they already exist.
• The default schema management strategy on startup is now create-or-validate.
• quarkus.hibernate-search.elasticsearch.index_defaults.lifecycle.required_status is now quarkus.hibernate-search.elasticsearch.index_defaults.schema_management.required_status.
• quarkus.hibernate-search.elasticsearch.index_defaults.lifecycle.required_status_wait_timeout is now quarkus.hibernate-search.elasticsearch.index_defaults.schema_management.required_status_wait_timeout.

Also related: you can now use SearchSchemaManager APIs to trigger schema management operations at the time of your choosing (not just on startup).
