Search re-indexing has been optimized to deliver shorter re-index windows, especially for Objects-heavy deployments. In testing against production databases and architecture, we observed re-index improvements of 2x or more across the evaluated datasets, with gains reaching up to 10x on specific workloads. The optimizations primarily targeted improvements that scale with the volume and complexity of Object data being indexed.

Key Benefits:

• Shorter re-index windows reduce maintenance overhead and downtime risk

• Validated on a production-equivalent distributed architecture

• Largest impact for Objects-heavy installations

When using the Liferay DXP Database Partitioning feature, the system now enforces strict access controls ensuring only the authorized database partition is accessible for any given request. This completes foundational security work and extends proper enforcement to all Liferay entry points, including Headless APIs and Client Extensions.

Key Benefits:

• Prevents unauthorized cross-partition data access in multi-tenant environments

• Ensures consistent partition access enforcement across all Liferay entry points (Headless, Client Extensions)
