Projection The ability to project some fields the index only avoiding the database roundtrip. fullTextQuery.setProjection("id", "summary", "author.name").list(); will return a List<Object[]> like the regular HQL projection the fieldbridge has to be two way (all built-in are) and the projected fields have to be Store.YES or Store.COMPRESS
What about .setCachedProjection or .setIndexedProjection to clearly signal it is not a "real" projection ?
It's useful when you want to display a small subset of the data, don't want managed objects, are OK to have a bigger index and if the performance of the non projection strategy doesn't meet your requirements (arguably uncommon);
A few questions: Currently fields Store.NO or where the fieldbridge is one way are ignored and return null. The idea behind that is to be able to project across multiple entities / index. Not sure if it's a useful feature.
Shouldn't this result in an error ?! if the property is not actually "mapped"
shouldn't it fail ?
Custom query to load objects You can define the Criteria query that will be use to load the matching objects of a lucene query. This is especially useful when an object graph (rather than an object) is expected: you can refine the fetchMode. result = s.createFullTextQuery( query ).setCriteriaQuery( s.createCriteria( Book.class ).setFetchMode( "authors", FetchMode.JOIN ) ).list(); will load the matching books and the associated authors.
What happens if the query and the criteria are totally unrelated ? And how are the link done between "query" and the Criteria ? you just add an in clause on the "id" property "blindly" ?
Expose resultSize() ie the total number of result regardless of the pagination fullTextQuery.setMaxResult(20)resultSize() == 3000 A better name is more than welcome.
getResultSize() ? :)
Feedback on those features are welcome esp projection, custom query and their APIs
