I'd rather investigate the viability of an external indexer like
lucene/solr, extending the earlier design work I did:

I beg to differ here. SQLite kicks ass. One main use case for me for

when he donated the original sqlite driver: give each user his own
sqlite database.

But then again, our ideas of what hydra should be are not yet set in stone.
