  • Support for indexing high-dimensionality numeric vectors to perform nearest-neighbor search, using the Hierarchical Navigable Small World graph algorithm.
  • New Analyzers for Serbian, Nepali, and Tamil languages
  • IME-friendly autosuggest for Japanese
  • Snowball 2, adding Hindi, Indonesian, Nepali, Serbian, Tamil, and Yiddish stemmers.
  • New normalization/stemming for Swedish and Norwegian

Optimizations

  • Up to 400% faster taxonomy faceting.
  • 10-15% faster indexing of multi-dimensional points.
  • Several times faster sorting on fields that are indexed with points. This optimization used to be an opt-in in late 8.x releases and is new opt-out as of 9.0.
  • ConcurrentMergeScheduler now assumes fast I/O, likely improving indexing speed in case where heuristics would incorrectly detect whether the system had modern I/O or not.
  • Encoding of postings lists changed from FOR-delta to PFOR-delta to save further disk space.
