I elaborated on this quite a bit a month ago when it was posted[1], but the cliff's notes version is basically that Postgres + Solr turned out to perform better. It was also more familiar to us. I did actually prototype the project with it, and it affirmed a lot of my warm feelings, but performance was the deal breaker. I'm really happy to see forward motion on this project though. It's the kind of thing I'd love to be involved in, if I were a completely different person. [1]: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12650171 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12650171
