ANNOUNCE: NUCULAR 0.1 Fielded Full Text Indexing [BETA]

Nucular is a system for creating disk based full text indices
for fielded data. It can be accessed via a Python API
or via a suite of command line interfaces, and an example
Web based archive browser.

The 0.1 release adds a bunch of features and also improves
the internal data structures significantly. Most importantly
the cosmetics of the example web interface isn't as
horrible as it was before :).

I'm calling it a beta because I think the core is pretty
stable and near future releases are likely to provide
enhancements or minor bugfixes rather than major changes.

BACKGROUND:

Nucular is intended to help store and retrieve
searchable information in a manner somewhat similar
to the way that "www.hotjobs.com" stores and
retrieves job descriptions, for example.

Nucular archives fielded documents and retrieves them
based on field value, field prefix, field word prefix,
or full text word prefix, field range, or combinations
of these.

Features:

-- Nucular is very light weight. Updates and accesses
do not require any server process or other system
support such as shared memory locking.

-- Nucular supports concurrency. Arbitrary concurrent
updates and accesses by multiple processes or threads
are supported, with no possible locking issues.

-- Nucular indexes and retrieves large collections quickly.

I hope you like.
