Hibernate Search Faceting: Discrete and Range Faceting by Example

Mon, 26 Mar 2012 00:00:00 +0200

In today’s tutorial we’re exploring the world of faceted searches like the one we’re used to see when we’re searching for an item on Amazon.com or other websites. We’re using Hibernate Search here that offers an API to perform discrete as well as range faceted searches on our persisted data.

Maven Dependencies Needed

For simplicity’s sake am I going to use an HSQL database for persistence, in addition the dependencies for hibernate-entitymanager and hibernate-search (of course) should be added to your pom.xml

Administration & Configuration

Connections

Show Max Connections (value and source)

SELECT setting, source, sourcefile, sourceline
FROM pg_settings
WHERE name = 'max_connections';

Set Max Connections

ALTER system SET max_connections = 250;

Kill Connections for a Database

SELECT pg_terminate_backend(pid)
FROM pg_catalog.pg_stat_activity
-- we don't want to kill our own connection
WHERE pid != pg_backend_pid()
-- we don't want to kill connections to other databases
AND datname = 'MYDATABASE'

Show Statement Timeout Settings for All Users

SELECT r.rolname,
       (SELECT unnest(s.setconfig) FROM pg_db_role_setting s WHERE s.setrole = r.oid AND s.setconfig::text LIKE '%statement_timeout%' LIMIT 1) AS statement_timeout
FROM pg_roles r
WHERE r.rolcanlogin
ORDER BY r.rolname;
