Hi Tim, I sent you a message from the email in my profile about two weeks ago but haven’t heard back yet. I’m definitely interested!

I’m pretty sure that Lucene is exactly the same, the segments it creates are immutable and Elastic is what handles a “mutable” view of the data. Which makes sense because Tantivy i…
