all the slight differences between lucene, lucene ports, Solr, ElasticSearch - thats the reason it will die. any reasonable database ecosystem just has enough velocity to kill it in the medium, if not short-, term. e.g. postgres with json fields.
- dig1 6y agoPardon me, but a statement like this shows you either didn't use ElasticSearch/Solr/Lucene to extent to understand how it works, or you haven't used Postgres for serious full-text search. Every tool has its place. Postgres works wonderfully in 90% of user-joe cases, but when you start to shovel in TBs of data, you'll need to look for something else.
- free_rms 6y agoThe Lucene ecosystem has been around since the early 2000s.. it's old enough to vote if not drink. Maybe eventually RDBMS systems will have full-text search out of the box that makes it unnecessary, but until they do, any predictions of death are certainly premature. (also, the lifecycle of indexed documents is different enough from transactional records that it's not as easy as it sounds).
