more things can return error now
in a couple of places we had to swallow errors because they didn't
fit the existing API. in these case and proactively in a few
others we now return error as well.
also the batch API has been updated to allow performing
set/delete internal within the batch
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.
you can do a manual fuzzy term search using the FuzzyQuery struct
or, more suitable for most users the MatchQuery now supports
some fuzzy options. Here you can specify fuzziness and
prefix_length, to turn the underlying term search into a fuzzy
term search. This has the benefit that analysis is performed
on your input, just like the analyzed field, prior to computing
the fuzzy variants.

characters like + and - are special
but they should only be special at the beginning of strings
inside someting that would otherwise be a string we should just
let them be characters

1. text analysis is now done before the write lock is acquired
2. there is now a pool of analysis workers
3. the size of this pool is configurable
4. this allows for documents in a batch to be analyzed concurrently
as a part of benchmarking these changes i've also introduce a new
null storage implementation. this should never be used, as it
does not actualy build an index. it does however let us go
through all the normal indexing machinery, without incuring
any indexing I/O. this is very helpful in measuring improvements
made to the text analsysis pipeline, which are often overshadowed
by indexing times in benchmarks actually building an index.
often the result stream was the same length, so can reuse the
existing token stream
also, in cases where a new stream was required, set capacity to
the length of the input stream. most output stream are at least
as long as the input, so this may avoid some subsequent resizing
In the index/store package
introduce KVReader
creates snapshot
all read operations consistent from this snapshot
must close to release
introduce KVWriter
only one writer active
access to all operations
allows for consisten read-modify-write
must close to release
introduce AssociativeMerge operation on batch
allows efficient read-modify-write
for associative operations
used to consolidate updates to the term summary rows
saves 1 set and 1 get op per shared instance of term in field
In the index package
introduced an IndexReader
exposes a consisten snapshot of the index for searching
At top level
All searches now operate on a consisten snapshot of the index
many of these defaults were arbitrary, and not having
defaults lets us more easily flag them for configuration
added a shingle filter
introduce new toke type for shingles
