Release
Indeed, Luke 6.2.1 for Lucene 6.2.1 is out of the oven. This is the proud moment for Tomoko Uchida, my co-committer to have been a release manager for the first time. Congrats, Tomoko!
Community
As Luke gets more and more stargazers on GitHub (520 at the time of this writing), I tend to glance over the list of them which sometimes makes my day. But beyond that and more importantly, this lays out the community of Lucene / Solr / ElasticSearch users and developers, that hopefully enjoy using Luke too.
Big Names on User List
Having access to the stats of the Luke repo gives insights on who and when might be talking about Luke. This time, it is PayPal Engineering. And here is their nice technical write-up on indexing lots of data in Elasticsearch and field usage of Luke for optimizing the Lucene index data structures: https://www.paypal-engineering.com/2016/08/10/powering-transactions-search-with-elastic-learnings-from-the-field/
London Lucene/Solr hackday
Hackday is an amazing way to jump out of a routine and think big: what can be improved in the search land of Lucene / Solr technology and tooling? It was great to see that Luke was picked up as one topic on the Lucene / Solr hackday in London: https://github.com/flaxsearch/london-hackday-2016. And there it is, Marple, browser-driven explorer for Lucene indexes: https://github.com/flaxsearch/marple. Go check it out.
