6 year old: daddy, next time you travel for work, I don't want you to call while you are away, so that I miss you more and I am even happier once you are back.

Lucene 9.5.0 release done and dusted, GPG I don't fear you!

Well spent hour to wrap the day up and free the mind

My team have two great features for Elastic vector search! In 8.7: search multiple vector fields & create embeddings with a ML model in a single API call! Semantic search achievement unlocked! elastic.co/blog/whats-new…

Congratulations Luca Cavanna on joining the Lucene PMC! lists.apache.org/thread/6hqgzsc…

I'm pleased announce that we released #Apache #Lucene 9.9.0 today. Lots of great goodies and amazing performance improvements. lucene.apache.org/core/9_9_0/cha… lists.apache.org/thread/t0ypmjz…

Congrats to Benjamin Trent on joining the Apache Lucene PMC. Very well deserved!!! Thanks for all the great work.

Gotta brag on my teammates. Autoscaling is incredibly difficult to get right. However, we are making steps in the right direction. Elastic with zero systems management is pretty neato ;) elastic.co/search-labs/bl…

Now that the few post-merge failures are fixed, time to take a minute to celebrate the achievement: Lucene 10 will support decoupling search concurrency from the index's segment geometry. Still work to do, but a great step forward: github.com/apache/lucene/…

Speechless, shocked about the death of Luca Salvadori. You had so much more wins in front of you, in life, on track and on road. You'll be sorely missed.

Hear hear: Elastic Cloud Serverless is on Lucene 10.0 now for 24 hours, just two weeks after Lucene 10.0 was officially released. What an achievement, and what a team!!!

Apache Lucene 10.1.0 released, all set for a little break lists.apache.org/thread/xtt5vbv…

Something a little different from my typical blogs. This line of code in Apache Lucene took me 3 days to write. For fixing bugs, it's about the journey, not necessarily the destination. elastic.co/search-labs/bl…

I'm glad to share that Luca Cavanna and I will be speaking about the #Lucene 10.0 release at Berlin Buzzwords in June.

A realistic, honest and quite non-partisan comparison, admitting that we can always learn to do better:those publishing benchmarks with a lot of marketing spin should learn from this post.

I enjoyed Berlin Buzzwords very much, always a pleasure to catch up with everyone in person. Here is my talk with Adrien Grand on shipping Lucene 10: youtu.be/GRhzgCEL_ac?si… .
