Enhancements

Stable hash_id Introduced for HELLO_CNAR and HELLO_CUSTOM SoT (Source of Truth)

To address the non-persistent nature of cnar_id, which changes across releases even for the same address, this version introduces a new hash_id field as a stable and unique identifier. The hash_id ensures consistent identification of address records across releases, improving data traceability and integration reliability for systems consuming the HELLO_CNAR and HELLO_CUSTOM SoT (Source of Truth).

Province Field Included in Address Search for Custom Address Data Framework

In version 3.1, the custom framework was introduced to support flexible address indexing and validation. However, the initial implementation did not include the province field in the indexed_content, which led to failed searches when province data was provided as input.

Version 3.2 resolves this issue by including the province field in the indexed_content—the internal representation of indexed address fields used for search and validation. This enhancement ensures more accurate and complete address matching when province information is part of the query.

Integrated Build Script for HELLO_CUSTOM SoT (Source of Truth) in Harmony Package

Previously, building the HELLO_CUSTOM SoT (introduced in version 3.1.0) required a separate tool package. In this release, the build process has been streamlined: the build script is now included directly within the Harmony package under the tools folder.

Users can now build the index using a simplified command such as:

build_hello_index.bat plugin/custom/beans.xml TEST

Scripts are provided for both Windows (.bat) and Linux (.sh) environments, making the setup more accessible and reducing the need for external dependencies.
