this lays the foundation for supporting the new firestorm
indexing scheme. i'm merging these changes ahead of
the rest of the firestorm branch so i can continue
to make changes to the analysis pipeline in parallel
an IndexAlias allows you easily work with one logical Index
while changing the actual Index its pointing to behind the scenes
Changing which actual Index is backing an IndexAlias can be done
atomically so that your application smoothly transitions from
one Index to another.
A separate use of IndexAlias is allowed when the IndexAlias is
defined to point to multiple Indexes. In this case only the
Search() operation is supported, but the Search will be run
on each of the underlying indexes in parallel, and the results
will be merged.
New is now used to create new indexes
Open is used to open existing indexes
calls to Open no longer specify a mapping because the mapping
is serialized and stored along with the index
ultimately this is make it more convenient for us to wire up
different elements of the analysis pipeline, without having to
preload everything into memory before we need it
separately the index layer now has a mechanism for storing
internal key/value pairs. this is expected to be used to
store the mapping, and possibly other pieces of data by the
top layer, but not exposed to the user at the top.
removed analyzers (these are now built as needed through config)
removed html chacter filter (now built as needed through config)
added missing license header
changed constructor signature of filters that cannot return errors
filter constructors that can have errors, now have Must variant which panics
change cdl2 tokenizer into filter (should only see lower-case input)
new top level index api, closes#5
refactored index tests to not rely directly on analyzers
moved query objects to top-level
new top level search api, closes#12
top score collector allows skipping results
index mapping supports _all by default, closes#3 and closes#6
index mapping supports disabled sections, closes#7
new http sub package with reusable http.Handler's, closes#22
