We are talking about the large-scale commercial use of Dovecot + lucene as an FTS. MIgration to SOLR is some kind of challenge that will take some time. I'm trying to find out how much time I have. On the one hand i would like to use only the newest version of Dovecot but on the other hand i'm not able to switch fts from lucene to solr in the near future sob., 5 lut 2022 o 21:26 Stuart Henderson <stu.lists at spacehopper.org> napisa?(a):> On 2022-02-05, Jacek Grabowski <grabsoon at gmail.com> wrote: > > Ok but I have to know the date (approximate) when support for lucene will > > be removed completely from dovecot. > > Does anyone know when this will happen?

If you use Lucene the most "simple" switch is to the new fts-flatcurve and Xapian: https://github.com/slusarz/dovecot-fts-flatcurve I'm testing it and is almost "ready for production".

Hi! fts-lucene and fts-squat are going to be removed in next major release, which is going to be released this year. We are planning to add xapian based replacement for lucene.
