Hi Luke,
I will definitely post back here when we make things public.

My choice of ES is based on simple reasoning:

When we build a Cuboid -- we basically build Key-Value pairs. i.e.
1) "Country=US", "State=Texas", "City=Houston", "Quantity=500"
2) "Country=India", "State=Karnataka", "City=Bangalore", "Quantity=1000"
and so on...

That looked to me like an ES document (or) a SOLR document

And, When we search it, We search it like this:

1) Fetch me all documents that have "Country=US", "State=Texas"
2) Fetch me all documents that correspond to "Country=India".
3) Fetch me all documents that correspond to "Country=US"
and so on..

All these are essentially search problems solved by Elastic Search/SOLR and
they are scalable as well..

So, armed with this simple insight - we started the project. Do you find
this simple? simplistic?  (or) Are we going wrong somewhere? You guys have
already achieved a lot in this space. Looking forward to your advice.

Best,
Sarnath
