Looks like the project is still under development but I think that having a http based interface would make this much more accessible to be used easily from multiple languages. Disclosure: I work on a similar open source search engine (https://github.com/typesense/typesense https://github.com/typesense/typesense)

This is an interesting assertion. Aside from JavaScript from the browser, which is tied to HTTP, what language can't use a TCP interface but can use an HTTP one?

  I was merely highlighting the convenience of a HTTP based RESTish API. It will be a familiar pattern instead of a custom text based protocol over tcp.

  HTTP is so much more convenient at this point, easy to consume by tools, routing, load balancing etc.

Very good idea. Can't say I haven't also thought about this. I was also thinking about doing what Tile38 (https://github.com/tidwall/tile38 https://github.com/tidwall/tile38) does and using the REDIS protocol. HTTP is a better option though. Or just both.

  Honestly I would use ucspi for this and chain the needed programs together.
