Hi Vimal, Indeed I think it is unlikely I have the energy for a 3rd edition ... but anyone can drive the 3rd edition, not just the prior authors. New authors welcome!
> Since 2nd edition ( based on lucene 4), I'm sorry to say that 2nd edition is based on Lucene 3.0 not 4! It's even older than you thought ;) Many of the core concepts in LIA 2 are still accurate, but the book does not cover all the new and exciting stuff added to Lucene since. > So should we expect 3rd edition soon or any other references to learn new things in latest lucene ? Well, I try to write up blog posts on exciting new features at https://blog.mikemccandless.com/ but even that writing is challenging to make time for... Many other people write up exciting Lucene related blog posts too. And conferences like Community Over Code and Berlin Buzzwords are a great chance to learn and meet fellow developers...
