List of features and known issues that are marked for future Terrier versions:
CompressionFactory/CompressionConfig is not supported by single-pass or Hadoop indexing.
Query language should be refined: In particular, ambiguity warnings when generating the parser with ANTLR should be removed, and a more structured query language should be introduced. We plan to use a subset of the Indril query language internally from version 5.0.
The real-time index structures do not currently support block indexing
The following classes and interfaces are/may be deprecated in this version of Terrier and will likely be removed or refactored in a future release:
structures.BlockLexiconEntry & structures.BlockFieldLexiconEntry will be removed in a future version of Terrier.
structures.bit.DirectIndex and structures.bit.InvertedIndex will be removed in a future version of Terrier.
ApplicationSetup will be replaced with a new non-global configuration API.
Terrier currently uses Hadoop version 0.20. Future releases of Terrier will upgrade to a later branch. Instructions to upgrade Terrier yourself can be found here
