Bit offtopic, but does anyone have suggestions for simple full text search engines? I basically want something for names, just a couple of thousand, nothing fancy. Setting up something like ElasticSearch seems like overkill (and is quite hungry for specs as well). I was thinking about simply hacking something together with Redis and Python, but i suppose someone might have a better solution.
Python has a search-engine: whoosh

offtopic - I've seen a number of blog posts using this hand drawn diagram style recently, does anyone happen to know how it's done? (answers other than "by hand" appreciated)

Sorry if come off as naive (as I don't really understand what a 'full text search' is), but for a couple thousand names wouldn't grep with regex wildcards suffice?

Correct. If you're going to try it, I recommend getting a stylus for your iPad, since handwriting with your fingertip doesn't work very well.

If you're using PostgreSQL you can take advantage of its full text search support. When doing so, make sure to save the text search vectors in a physical column as otherwise queries will be quite slow.
Samza's author really opened my mind related to how useful stream process is to high performance data processing [1] and I think Samza's only bummer (for me, personally, today) is it's lack of support for non-JMV languages [2] [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fU9hR3kiOK0 [2] http://samza.apache.org/learn/documentation/0.7.0/comparison...
