I'm trying to roadmap the path to a complete transactor, and I'd like to discuss whether fulltext indexing is a priority for us.
For the initial Clojure{Script} implementation, fulltext indexing was a priority, for two reasons:
our principle consumer was Tofino, which we expected to experiment with indexing whole web pages;
and we were also looking to try to make it easier to fulltext index in Firefox add-ons by improving upon the SQLite story.
The consumer side of this story has changed entirely; Tofino is no longer driving any technology choices. And depending on the targeted Firefox add-on or feature, it might be that fulltext indexing is a priority (for Activity Stream, yes; for request auto complete or certificate stores, no).
@joewalker, do you have a bead on the priority of fulltext indexing? After #283 it won't be a huge effort to support, but it's still work that can be deferred.
I think this is low priority. Of the potential customers in the goals doc, the only that would benefit from full text search are the more complex ones like context-stream, and sync. So we probably don't need this until H2.
There's enough work here to track separately. It's identical to the Clojure implementation, but requires special care and testing.
It might be possible to implement #12 / #69 concurrently to this, since fulltext values are the first natural candidate for such a hashing scheme.
