BooleanClause serialization fails owing to issues with serializing Occur object -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: LUCENENET-170 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENENET-170 Project: Lucene.Net Issue Type: Bug Reporter: Moray McConnachie Essentially when you serialize a BooleanClause you lose all Occurs objects, so you cannot meaningfully serialize and deserialize BooleanQuery s with multiple clauses unless they all use the default Occur.SHOULD I suspect this bug extends to all objects depending on Parameter object, making it impossible to serialize and deserialize objects which include members inheriting from Parameter. I don't know enough about how the Parameter object ought to work or is used elsewhere to attempt a fix. I have a hack which works for my app by intercepting Serialize and Deserialize and serializing the occur member of BooleanClause to a string and Deserializing it the same way, but this is deeply suboptimal. Here is some test code for a Console application. Sorry about the formatting, this bug tracker seems not to like it too much. If the two queries don't match the bug is still in evidence. ---- {{ using System;\\ using System.Collections.Generic;\\ using System.IO;\\ using System.Linq;\\ using System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Binary;\\ using System.Text;\\ using Lucene.Net.Search;\\ namespace TestSerialization { class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { //build our sample query BooleanQuery queryPreSerialized = new BooleanQuery(); queryPreSerialized.Add(new TermQuery(new Lucene.Net.Index.Term("country","Russia")),BooleanClause.Occur.MUST); queryPreSerialized.Add(new TermQuery(new Lucene.Net.Index.Term("country","France")),BooleanClause.Occur.MUST); Console.WriteLine("Query pre serialisation: " + queryPreSerialized.ToString()); //now serialize it BinaryFormatter serializer = new BinaryFormatter(); MemoryStream memoryStream = new MemoryStream(); serializer.Serialize(memoryStream, queryPreSerialized); //now deserialize memoryStream.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin); BooleanQuery queryPostSerialized = (BooleanQuery)serializer.Deserialize(memoryStream); Console.WriteLine("Query post deserialization: "+ queryPostSerialized.ToString()); if (!queryPreSerialized.Equals(queryPostSerialized)) Console.WriteLine("Serialized and deserialized do not match - down to issues with the way Parameter objects (in BooleanClause.Occur are maintained"); memoryStream.Close(); Console.WriteLine("press enter to close"); Console.Read(); }\\ }\\ }\\ }} -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
