FYI, for those looking for more inspiration on cool stuff to build with Samza:
Alan Woodward (a Lucene committer) and I today spent some time implementing full-text search on streams using Samza. The idea is that users can submit queries for documents they're interested in, and whenever a document appears in a stream that matches one of those queries, the user can get notified. A barebones, hacky but basically working implementation is here: https://github.com/romseygeek/samza-luwak The code by no means ready for serious use, but from the proof-of-concept it looks totally feasible. Feel free to play with it :) Martin
