Hi, this seems like a really cool project! Given your use of rust, have you considered providing the option to run this as an embedded datastore, like you might use sqlite?<p>Might bring more users onboard, for the better CI/testing ergonomics. Thanks!
I was looking at the Github repos for Sonic, and a PHP library for working with it: <a href="https://github.com/ppshobi/psonic/blob/master/api-docs.md">https://github.com/ppshobi/psonic/blob/master/api-docs.md</a> and I'm scratching my head over: what's the difference between the popping and flushing operations?<p>Specifically, there's a "pop" method which: "pops an item out of index" and a "flusho" method which "Flushes the indexed text from an objects". They kind of sound awfully similar and take similar args.<p>Otherwise it all looks pretty straightforward - just that one small conceptual thing might be explained a bit more in the docs.
I would pay $5 to have every one of these projects stop saying "alternative to ElasticSearch" unless they implement the ES API (as <a href="https://github.com/zinclabs/zinc">https://github.com/zinclabs/zinc</a> at least claims) because if one just wanted some schemaless full text searching wizardry, there are about 10 of those projects. If one is trying to replace kibana or the damn near infinite log gathering tools that <i>target</i> ES, Sonic and Melisearch and and and are not going to get it done<p>q.v. <a href="https://github.com/zinclabs/zinc/blob/v0.3.6/docs/swagger.yaml#L2008">https://github.com/zinclabs/zinc/blob/v0.3.6/docs/swagger.ya...</a>
