New Features
-
Lucene index locking — Lucene Index updates have been overhauled in order to gain performance efficiencies and reduce errors:
- system now cumulatively collects all affected product codes and then batch processes them via asynchronous operation that does not block end-user UI responsiveness.
- record processing efficiency has been improved by restricting some of the data retrieved from the database to only relevant products.
- safeguard functionality has been added in the event of the operation not being able to run at time of initiation, which can occur if a scheduled task is already running a lucene index operation in the background. In this case, the updated products are stored in a queue table for later processing.

Fixes
-
Lucene Sorting with additional product fields — We have removed the use of the 'Lucene NonRelevance Search Field' to specify the ordering of product search results when Lucene is in use. We now use the 'Enable Non-Relevance based sort' flag to override sorting by the default Lucene Score.
Now when the 'Enable Lucene Non-Relevance Search' flag is in use, you can override the ordering of search results using the Role/System level 'Product List Sort' fields. This are the same fields that were used pre-Lucene, and are still used when Lucene search is disabled.
