binary distribution by calling the shell scripts in the module folder
or from the source checkout by using `ant -f lucene/luke/build.xml run`.
Luke provides a Swing-based user interface and can be used to open
Lucene or Solr (or Elasticsearch) indexes, inspect documents, check index
commits and segments, or test (custom) analyzers. It also has maintenance
functions to check index structures and force merge indexes for archival.
Luke was originally developed by Andrzej Bialecki, later maintained by
Dmitry Kan and finally rewritten by Tomoko Uchida to use the ASF licensing
compatible Swing framework (as shipped with JDKs).

This class is just a general XML transforming tool (using property files and
XSLT) and has nothing to do with query parsing. It can easily be implemented
using more sophisticated libraries or using XSL transformers from the JDK.
This change also removes the Lucene demo webapp to prevent XSS issues in
untested/unmaintained code.

<ul class="bulleted-list">
<li class="bulleted-list">
On upgrading to 4.0, if you do not fully reindex your documents,
  Lucene will emulate the new flex API on top of the old index,
  incurring some performance cost (up to ~10% slowdown, typically).
  To prevent this slowdown, use oal.index.IndexUpgrader
  to upgrade your indexes to latest file format (<a href="http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-3082">LUCENE-3082</a>).
</li>
<p/>
  Mixed flex/pre-flex indexes are perfectly fine -- the two
  emulation layers (flex API on pre-flex index, and pre-flex API on
  flex index) will remap the access as required.  So on upgrading to
  4.0 you can start indexing new documents into an existing index.
  To get optimal performance, use oal.index.IndexUpgrader
  to upgrade your indexes to latest file format (<a href="http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-3082">LUCENE-3082</a>).
<p/>
<li class="bulleted-list">
The postings APIs (TermEnum, TermDocsEnum, TermPositionsEnum)
  have been removed in favor of the new flexible
  indexing (flex) APIs (Fields, FieldsEnum, Terms, TermsEnum,
  DocsEnum, DocsAndPositionsEnum). One big difference is that field
  and terms are now enumerated separately: a TermsEnum provides a
  BytesRef (wraps a byte[]) per term within a single field, not a
  Term.  Another is that when asking for a Docs/AndPositionsEnum, you
  now specify the skipDocs explicitly (typically this will be the
  deleted docs, but in general you can provide any Bits).
</li>
<p/>
<li class="bulleted-list">
The term vectors APIs (TermFreqVector, TermPositionVector,
  TermVectorMapper) have been removed in favor of the above
  flexible indexing APIs, presenting a single-document inverted
  index of the document from the term vectors.
</li>
<p/>
<li class="bulleted-list">
MultiReader ctor now throws IOException
</li>
<p/>
<li class="bulleted-list">
Directory.copy/Directory.copyTo now copies all files (not just
  index files), since what is and isn't and index file is now
  dependent on the codecs used.
</li>
<p/>
<li class="bulleted-list">
UnicodeUtil now uses BytesRef for UTF-8 output, and some method
  signatures have changed to CharSequence.  These are internal APIs
  and subject to change suddenly.
</li>
<p/>

FieldCache.{Byte,Short,Int,Long,Float,Double}Parser's API has

The internal (experimental) API of NumericUtils changed completely

  Do not use TermQueries to search for single numeric terms.
  The recommended way is to create a corresponding NumericRangeQuery

DocumentsWriterPerThread:
<ul class="bulleted-list">
<li class="bulleted-list">
IndexWriter now uses a DocumentsWriter per thread when indexing documents.
  Each DocumentsWriterPerThread indexes documents in its own private segment,
  and the in memory segments are no longer merged on flush.  Instead, each
  segment is separately flushed to disk and subsequently merged with normal
  segment merging.
</li>
<p/>
<li class="bulleted-list">
DocumentsWriterPerThread (DWPT) is now flushed concurrently based on a
  FlushPolicy.  When a DWPT is flushed, a fresh DWPT is swapped in so that
  indexing may continue concurrently with flushing.  The selected
  DWPT flushes all its RAM resident documents do disk.  Note: Segment flushes
  don't flush all RAM resident documents but only the documents private to
  the DWPT selected for flushing.
</li>
<p/>
<li class="bulleted-list">
Flushing is now controlled by FlushPolicy that is called for every add,
  update or delete on IndexWriter. By default DWPTs are flushed either on
  maxBufferedDocs per DWPT or the global active used memory. Once the active
  memory exceeds ramBufferSizeMB only the largest DWPT is selected for
  flushing and the memory used by this DWPT is subtracted from the active
  memory and added to a flushing memory pool, which can lead to temporarily
  higher memory usage due to ongoing indexing.
</li>
<p/>
<li class="bulleted-list">
IndexWriter now can utilize ramBufferSize &gt; 2048 MB. Each DWPT can address
  up to 2048 MB memory such that the ramBufferSize is now bounded by the max
  number of DWPT available in the used DocumentsWriterPerThreadPool.
  IndexWriters net memory consumption can grow far beyond the 2048 MB limit if
  the application can use all available DWPTs. To prevent a DWPT from
  exhausting its address space IndexWriter will forcefully flush a DWPT if its
  hard memory limit is exceeded. The RAMPerThreadHardLimitMB can be controlled
  via IndexWriterConfig and defaults to 1945 MB.
  Since IndexWriter flushes DWPT concurrently not all memory is released
  immediately. Applications should still use a ramBufferSize significantly
  lower than the JVMs available heap memory since under high load multiple
  flushing DWPT can consume substantial transient memory when IO performance
  is slow relative to indexing rate.
</li>
<p/>
<li class="bulleted-list">
IndexWriter#commit now doesn't block concurrent indexing while flushing all
  'currently' RAM resident documents to disk. Yet, flushes that occur while a
  a full flush is running are queued and will happen after all DWPT involved
  in the full flush are done flushing. Applications using multiple threads
  during indexing and trigger a full flush (eg call commit() or open a new
  NRT reader) can use significantly more transient memory.
</li>
<p/>
<li class="bulleted-list">
IndexWriter#addDocument and IndexWriter.updateDocument can block indexing
  threads if the number of active + number of flushing DWPT exceed a
  safety limit. By default this happens if 2 * max number available thread
  states (DWPTPool) is exceeded. This safety limit prevents applications from
  exhausting their available memory if flushing can't keep up with
  concurrently indexing threads.
</li>
<p/>
<li class="bulleted-list">
IndexWriter only applies and flushes deletes if the maxBufferedDelTerms
  limit is reached during indexing. No segment flushes will be triggered
  due to this setting.
</li>
<p/>
<li class="bulleted-list">
IndexWriter#flush(boolean, boolean) doesn't synchronized on IndexWriter
  anymore. A dedicated flushLock has been introduced to prevent multiple full-
  flushes happening concurrently.
</li>

      <li><a href="http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1536">LUCENE-1536</a>: Filters can now be applied down-low, if their DocIdSet implements
a new bits() method, returning all documents in a random access way. If the
DocIdSet is not too sparse, it will be passed as acceptDocs down to the Scorer
as replacement for AtomicReader's live docs.
In addition, FilteredQuery backs now IndexSearcher's filtering search methods.
Using FilteredQuery you can chain Filters in a very performant way
[new FilteredQuery(new FilteredQuery(query, filter1), filter2)], which was not
possible with IndexSearcher's methods. FilteredQuery also allows to override
the heuristics used to decide if filtering should be done random access or
using a conjunction on DocIdSet's iterator().

IndexReader.commit() and all open(), openIfChanged(), clone() methods
taking readOnly booleans (or IndexDeletionPolicy instances) were
deprecated. IndexReader.setNorm() is superfluous and was deprecated.
If you have to change per-document boost use CustomScoreQuery.
If you want to dynamically change norms (boost *and* length norm) at
query time, wrap your IndexReader using FilterIndexReader, overriding
FilterIndexReader.norms(). To persist the changes on disk, copy the
FilteredIndexReader to a new index using IndexWriter.addIndexes().

There are also some backwards incompatible changes in toString() output,

leading to changed toString() return values. The new API allows to get a
string representation in a well-defined way using a new method
reflectAsString(). For backwards compatibility reasons, when toString()
was implemented by implementation subclasses, the default implementation of
AttributeImpl.reflectWith() uses toString()s output instead to report the
Attribute's properties. Otherwise, reflectWith() uses Java's reflection
(like toString() did before) to get the attribute properties.

also in 2.9. The file format did not change, only the version number was
upgraded to mark segments that have no compression. FieldsWriter still only
writes 2.9 segments as they could contain compressed fields. This cross-version
index format compatibility is provided here solely because Lucene 2.9 and 3.0
have the same bugfix level, features, and the same index format with this slight
compression difference. In general, Lucene does not support reading newer
indexes with older library versions.

      <li><a href="http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1960">LUCENE-1960</a>: As a consequence of the removal of Field.Store.COMPRESS,
support for this type of fields was removed. Lucene 3.0 is still able
to read indexes with compressed fields, but as soon as merges occur
or the index is optimized, all compressed fields are decompressed
and converted to Field.Store.YES. Because of this, indexes with
compressed fields can suddenly get larger. Also the first merge with
decompression cannot be done in raw mode, it is therefore slower.
This change has no effect for code that uses such old indexes,
they behave as before (fields are automatically decompressed
during read). Indexes converted to Lucene 3.0 format cannot be read
anymore with previous versions.
It is recommended to optimize your indexes after upgrading to convert
to the new format and decompress all fields.
If you want compressed fields, you can use CompressionTools, that
creates compressed byte[] to be added as binary stored field. This
cannot be done automatically, as you also have to decompress such
fields when reading. You have to reindex to do that.

      <li><a href="http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1575">LUCENE-1575</a>: Searchable.search(Weight, Filter, int, Sort) no
 longer computes a document score for each hit by default.  If
 document score tracking is still needed, you can call
 IndexSearcher.setDefaultFieldSortScoring(true, true) to enable
 both per-hit and maxScore tracking; however, this is deprecated
 and will be removed in 3.0.
<p/>
 Alternatively, use Searchable.search(Weight, Filter, Collector)
 and pass in a TopFieldCollector instance, using the following code
 sample:
<p/>
 <code><pre>
   TopFieldCollector tfc = TopFieldCollector.create(sort, numHits, fillFields,
                                                    true /* trackDocScores */,
                                                    true /* trackMaxScore */,
                                                    false /* docsInOrder */);
   searcher.search(query, tfc);
   TopDocs results = tfc.topDocs();</pre></code>
<p/>
 Note that your Sort object cannot use SortField.AUTO when you
 directly instantiate TopFieldCollector.
<p/>
 Also, the method search(Weight, Filter, Collector) was added to
 the Searchable interface and the Searcher abstract class to
 replace the deprecated HitCollector versions.  If you either
 implement Searchable or extend Searcher, you should change your
 code to implement this method.  If you already extend
 IndexSearcher, no further changes are needed to use Collector.
<p/>
 Finally, the values Float.NaN and Float.NEGATIVE_INFINITY are not
 valid scores.  Lucene uses these values internally in certain
 places, so if you have hits with such scores, it will cause
 problems.

 contains only a few declarations for binary backwards compatibility.
 ExtendedFieldCache will be removed in version 3.0. Users of FieldCache and
 ExtendedFieldCache will be able to plug in Lucene 2.9 without recompilation.
 The auto cache (FieldCache.getAuto) is now deprecated. Due to the merge of
 ExtendedFieldCache and FieldCache, FieldCache can now additionally return
 long[] and double[] arrays in addition to int[] and float[] and StringIndex.
<p/>
 The interface changes are only notable for users implementing the interfaces,
 which was unlikely done, because there is no possibility to change
 Lucene's FieldCache implementation.

 Going forward Searchable will be kept for convenience only and may
 be changed between minor releases without any deprecation
 process. It is not recommended that you implement it, but rather extend
 Searcher.

 has some backwards breaks in rare cases. We did our best to make the
 transition as easy as possible and you are not likely to run into any problems.
 If your tokenizers still implement next(Token) or next(), the calls are
 automatically wrapped. The indexer and query parser use the new API
 (eg use incrementToken() calls). All core TokenStreams are implemented using
 the new API. You can mix old and new API style TokenFilters/TokenStream.
 Problems only occur when you have done the following:
 You have overridden next(Token) or next() in one of the non-abstract core
 TokenStreams/-Filters. These classes should normally be final, but some
 of them are not. In this case, next(Token)/next() would never be called.
 To fail early with a hard compile/runtime error, the next(Token)/next()

 for each segment. Searching has been telescoped out a level and IndexSearcher now
 operates much like MultiSearcher does. The Weight is created only once for the top
 level Searcher, but each Scorer is passed a per-segment IndexReader. This will
 result in doc ids in the Scorer being internal to the per-segment IndexReader. It
 has always been outside of the API to count on a given IndexReader to contain every
 doc id in the index - and if you have been ignoring MultiSearcher in your custom code
 and counting on this fact, you will find your code no longer works correctly. If a
 custom Scorer implementation uses any caches/filters that rely on being based on the
 top level IndexReader, it will need to be updated to correctly use contextless

RAM usage (16 MB by default) instead of a fixed doc count (call
IndexWriter.setMaxBufferedDocs to get backwards compatible
behavior).  Second, ConcurrentMergeScheduler is used to run merges
using background threads (call IndexWriter.setMergeScheduler(new
SerialMergeScheduler()) to get backwards compatible behavior).
Third, merges are chosen based on size in bytes of each segment
rather than document count of each segment (call
IndexWriter.setMergePolicy(new LogDocMergePolicy()) to get
backwards compatible behavior).

      <li>A new class DateTools has been added. It allows you to format dates
in a readable format adequate for indexing. Unlike the existing
DateField class DateTools can cope with dates before 1970 and it
forces you to specify the desired date resolution (e.g. month, day,
second, ...) which can make RangeQuerys on those fields more efficient.
<br /><span class="attrib">(Daniel Naber)</span></li>
      <li>QueryParser now correctly works with Analyzers that can return more

still somewhat slower than FSDirectory.  However it uses less
memory per query term, since a new buffer is not allocated per

queries.  It may also someday be faster.

      <li>Added getPositionIncrementGap(String fieldName) to Analyzer.  This allows
custom analyzers to put gaps between Field instances with the same field

default implementation issues a gap of 0, allowing the default token
position increment of 1 to put the next field's first token into a
successive position.

these cases, the total number of tokens is a better value to use
than the final token position.  Position is used in phrase
searching (see PhraseQuery and Token.setPositionIncrement()).

<br /><span class="attrib">(gschwarz)</span></li>
      <li>Added support for boosting the score of documents and fields via
the new methods Document.setBoost(float) and Field.setBoost(float).
<p/>
Note: This changes the encoding of an indexed value.  Indexes
should be re-created from scratch in order for search scores to
be correct.  With the new code and an old index, searches will
yield very large scores for shorter fields, and very small scores
for longer fields.  Once the index is re-created, scores will be
as before.
<br /><span class="attrib">(cutting)</span></li>
      <li>Added new method Token.setPositionIncrement().
<p/>
This permits, for the purpose of phrase searching, placing
multiple terms in a single position.  This is useful with
stemmers that produce multiple possible stems for a word.
<p/>
This also permits the introduction of gaps between terms, so that
terms which are adjacent in a token stream will not be matched by
and exact phrase query.  This makes it possible, e.g., to build
an analyzer where phrases are not matched over stop words which
have been removed.
<p/>
Finally, repeating a token with an increment of zero can also be
used to boost scores of matches on that token.
<br /><span class="attrib">(cutting)</span></li>
      <li>Added new Filter class, QueryFilter.  This constrains search
results to only match those which also match a provided query.
Results are cached, so that searches after the first on the same
index using this filter are very fast.
<p/>
This could be used, for example, with a RangeQuery on a formatted
date field to implement date filtering.  One could re-use a
single QueryFilter that matches, e.g., only documents modified
within the last week.  The QueryFilter and RangeQuery would only
need to be reconstructed once per day.
<br /><span class="attrib">(cutting)</span></li>
      <li>Added a new IndexWriter method, getAnalyzer().  This returns the
analyzer used when adding documents to this index.

Contributed by Rasik Pandey on 2002-10-09
<br /><span class="attrib">(Rasik Pandey via otis)</span></li>
      <li>Revised internal search APIs.  Changes include:
<p/>
  a. Queries are no longer modified during a search.  This makes
  it possible, e.g., to reuse the same query instance with
  multiple indexes from multiple threads.
<p/>
  b. Term-expanding queries (e.g. PrefixQuery, WildcardQuery,
  etc.)  now work correctly with MultiSearcher, fixing bugs <a href="http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-56">12619&nbsp;[LUCENE-56]</a>
  and <a href="http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-57">12667&nbsp;[LUCENE-57]</a>.
<p/>
  c. Boosting BooleanQuery's now works, and is supported by the
  query parser (problem reported by Lee Mallabone).  Thus a query
  like "(+foo +bar)^2 +baz" is now supported and equivalent to
  "(+foo^2 +bar^2) +baz".
<p/>
  d. New method: Query.rewrite(IndexReader).  This permits a
  query to re-write itself as an alternate, more primitive query.
  Most of the term-expanding query classes (PrefixQuery,
  WildcardQuery, etc.) are now implemented using this method.
<p/>
  e. New method: Searchable.explain(Query q, int doc).  This
  returns an Explanation instance that describes how a particular
  document is scored against a query.  An explanation can be
  displayed as either plain text, with the toString() method, or
  as HTML, with the toHtml() method.  Note that computing an
  explanation is as expensive as executing the query over the
  entire index.  This is intended to be used in developing
  Similarity implementations, and, for good performance, should
  not be displayed with every hit.
<p/>
  f. Scorer and Weight are public, not package protected.  It now
  possible for someone to write a Scorer implementation that is
  not in the org.apache.lucene.search package.  This is still
  fairly advanced programming, and I don't expect anyone to do
  this anytime soon, but at least now it is possible.
<p/>
  g. Added public accessors to the primitive query classes
  (TermQuery, PhraseQuery and BooleanQuery), permitting access to
  their terms and clauses.
<p/>
Caution: These are extensive changes and they have not yet been
tested extensively.  Bug reports are appreciated.

      <li>Lucene now includes a grammar-based tokenizer, StandardTokenizer.
</li>
      <li>The only tokenizer included in the previous release (LetterTokenizer)
identified terms consisting entirely of alphabetic characters.  The
new tokenizer uses a regular-expression grammar to identify more
complex classes of terms, including numbers, acronyms, email
addresses, etc.
</li>
      <li>StandardTokenizer serves two purposes:
</li>
      <li>1. It is a much better, general purpose tokenizer for use by
   applications as is.
</li>
      <li>The easiest way for applications to start using
StandardTokenizer is to use StandardAnalyzer.
</li>
      <li>2. It provides a good example of grammar-based tokenization.
</li>
      <li>If an application has special tokenization requirements, it can
implement a custom tokenizer by copying the directory containing
the new tokenizer into the application and modifying it
accordingly.
</li>

      <li>First open source release.

      <li>The code has been re-organized into a new package and directory
structure for this release.  It builds OK, but has not been tested
beyond that since the re-organization.
