Is the name meant to bring to mind a large explosion? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiling_liquid_expanding_vapor_...

Author here, will try to answer questions as best I can from my phone.

Yes, I think I was watching one of those amazing explosions shows on Netflix. I liked the way it sounded, and it suggested some simple logo ideas.

Have you run any benchmarks? Do you have any rough estimations on how does it compare to Lucene in terms of speed and memory usage?

We haven't yet. Our philosophy has been to get the features and API right first.

Though there is some low hanging fruit I'd like to tackle this week. First there will be some bleve only indexing and querying benchmarks to validate those improvements. Then we should be in better shape to do comparisons against lucene.

Wishful thinking: I hope this prefaces an Elasticsearch rewrite in Go. I'm happy to be rid of the JVM wherever I find it. No hard feelings, but we just spent 20 years crowbaring Microsoft into irrelevance. It's time to get started on Larry.

If only Go offered the same abstraction capabilities of any JVM language.
