Priority: Normal (was: Major)
> Apache Lucene.NET: Replicator and Dependency Injection Enhancements
> -------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: GSOC-286
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GSOC-286
> Project: Comdev GSOC
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Paul Irwin
> Priority: Normal
> Labels: Lucene.NET, LuceneNet, gsoc, gsoc2025, mentor
>
> *Background and Goal*
> Apache Lucene.NET is a .NET port of the Apache Lucene search engine
> (originally written in Java). This powerful library enables indexing and
> searching of documents with custom queries, making it a core component in
> many production environments. With over 100 million NuGet downloads,
> Lucene.NET is utilized in diverse scenarios, from local search functionality
> in mobile apps to supporting large-scale cloud infrastructures.
> Lucene.NET already provides a foundation for replicating a search index from
> a primary node to one or more replica nodes, enabling High Availability (HA)
> and scalability through load balancing. Currently, our
> Lucene.Net.Replicator.AspNetCore project offers minimal replication support
> for ASP.NET Core servers, but it remains unpublished on NuGet and lacks the
> robustness required for most use cases. Your focus for this project will be
> to enhance and finalize the ASP.NET Core library, ensuring a seamless user
> experience by adhering to best practices and making replication setup as
> straightforward as possible – ideally requiring just one line of code.
> Additionally, users may need replication support for applications outside
> ASP.NET Core, such as cloud-based distributed architectures, Windows
> services, or command-line tools running on Linux. To address this, we propose
> creating modular intermediate libraries using
> Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection.Abstractions, enabling flexible and
> reusable replication configurations. This approach should also ensure that
> essential components like IndexWriter and IndexReader are configured in a
> straightforward and user-friendly manner.
> Your task will also include creating one or more sample projects that
> demonstrate how to effectively use the enhanced replication functionality.
> These projects should serve as practical, real-world examples for the
> community, showcasing best practices and ease of use. Additionally, you will
> be responsible for thoroughly testing the code changes to ensure they work as
> intended in real-world scenarios. This includes writing comprehensive unit
> tests to guarantee the reliability and quality of the solution.
> We plan for this to be a hands-on mentorship, and we will set up any
> infrastructure for you. As a contributor, your responsibilities will include
> analyzing the problem, developing a detailed plan, refining it with input
> from the project team, and collaborating regularly to implement the solution
> through pull requests and code reviews.
> *Relevant Skills*
> * Familiarity with C# and unit testing
> * Strong grasp of design patterns and practices, such as dependency
> injection and i.e. the fluent builder and abstract factory patterns
> * Basic understanding of HTTP(S) and networking
> * Not required, but good to have:
> ** Familiarity with ASP.NET Core 5 or later
> ** Understanding of distributed architectures
> ** Familiarity with Lucene(.NET) search indexes
>
> {*}Difficulty{*}: Medium
> {*}Project Size{*}: ~175 hour (part-time)
> {*}Potential Mentors{*}:
> * Paul Irwin, paulir...@apache.org
> * Project Devs, d...@lucenenet.apache.org
