When having to choose what library to use for full text indexing of CouchDB data for a Ruby application, Taylor Luk looked at from Sphinx, Lucene, Ferret, Xapian and decided to go with Xapian with Xapit . Besides the fact that Xapian with Xapit offers a clean interface and customization of the indexing process, there seem to be quite a few important limitations:

  • Xapit is still under active development
  • You need to trigger Index update manually
  • It doesn’t Incremental index update at the moment

I know some are afraid of managing a Java stack, but in the land of indexing, Lucene, Solr, ElasticSearch, IndexTank are the most powerful tools.
