736: Update charabia r=curquiza a=ManyTheFish
Update Charabia to the last version.
> We are now Romanizing Chinese characters into Pinyin.
> Note that we keep the accent because they are in fact never typed directly by the end-user, moreover, changing an accent leads to a different Chinese character, and I don't have sufficient knowledge to forecast the impact of removing accents in this context.

693: use the lmdb-master.3 branch r=Kerollmops a=irevoire
After investigating https://github.com/meilisearch/meilisearch/issues/3017, we found out that it was due to lmdb and that, without any code change on our side, bumping using the lmdb-master-3 branch fix our issues.
But, we’re not really confident about what changed between the `mdb.master` and `mdb.master3` branches; thus this is a temporary change, and we hope we’ll be able to move to the new version of heed asap (either before the end of the pre-release or for the next release).
--------
The bug is hard to reproduce; I can reproduce it 100% of the time on my archlinux personal computer. But on a scaleway archlinux bare-metal machine, it doesn’t reproduce. It’s flaky on our test suite, but `@loiclec` was able to write a minimal test that reproduces it every time on macOS.
Basically, what happens is when there are multiple threads opening databases in a different directory at the same time.
If there are 10 or more threads running at the same time, lmdb starts throwing the `Invalid argument (os error 22)` error for no reason, we believe.
I would like to submit an issue to lmdb, but I don’t really have the time to write a test in C without heed currently.
`@hyc,` if you want to take a look at it, here is the repo that reproduces the issue on macOS: https://github.com/irevoire/heed-bug

e.g. add one facet value incrementally with a group_size = X and then
add another one with group_size = Y
It is not actually possible to do so with the public API of milli,
but I wanted to make sure the algorithm worked well in those cases
anyway.
The bugs were found by fuzzing the code with fuzzcheck, which I've added
to milli as a conditional dev-dependency. But it can be removed later.
635: Use an unstable algorithm for `grenad::Sorter` when possible r=Kerollmops a=loiclec
# Pull Request
## What does this PR do?
Use an unstable algorithm to sort the internal vector used by `grenad::Sorter` whenever possible to speed up indexing.
In practice, every time the merge function creates a `RoaringBitmap`, we use an unstable sort. For every other merge function, such as `keep_first`, `keep_last`, etc., a stable sort is used.

We need to store all the external id (primary key) in a hashmap
associated to their internal id during.
The smartstring remove heap allocation / memory usage and should
improve the cache locality.
436: Speed up the word prefix databases computation time r=Kerollmops a=Kerollmops
This PR depends on the fixes done in #431 and must be merged after it.
In this PR we will bring the `WordPrefixPairProximityDocids`, `WordPrefixDocids` and, `WordPrefixPositionDocids` update structures to a new era, a better era, where computing the word prefix pair proximities costs much fewer CPU cycles, an era where this update structure can use the, previously computed, set of new word docids from the newly indexed batch of documents.
---
The `WordPrefixPairProximityDocids` is an update structure, which means that it is an object that we feed with some parameters and which modifies the LMDB database of an index when asked for. This structure specifically computes the list of word prefix pair proximities, which correspond to a list of pairs of words associated with a proximity (the distance between both words) where the second word is not a word but a prefix e.g. `s`, `se`, `a`. This word prefix pair proximity is associated with the list of documents ids which contains the pair of words and prefix at the given proximity.
The origin of the performances issue that this struct brings is related to the fact that it starts its job from the beginning, it clears the LMDB database before rewriting everything from scratch, using the other LMDB databases to achieve that. I hope you understand that this is absolutely not an optimized way of doing things.

402: Optimize document transform r=MarinPostma a=MarinPostma
This pr optimizes the transform of documents additions in the obkv format. Instead on accepting any serializable objects, we instead treat json and CSV specifically:
- For json, we build a serde `Visitor`, that transform the json straight into obkv without intermediate representation.
- For csv, we directly write the lines in the obkv, applying other optimization as well.

384: Replace memmap with memmap2 r=Kerollmops a=palfrey
[memmap is unmaintained](https://rustsec.org/advisories/RUSTSEC-2020-0077.html) and needs replacing. memmap2 is a drop-in replacement fork that's well maintained. Note that the version numbers got reset on fork, hence the lower values.

360: Update version for the next release (v0.14.0) r=Kerollmops a=curquiza
Release containing the geosearch, cf #322
Co-authored-by: Clémentine Urquizar <clementine@meilisearch.com>
322: Geosearch r=ManyTheFish a=irevoire
This PR introduces [basic geo-search functionalities](https://github.com/meilisearch/specifications/pull/59), it makes the engine able to index, filter and, sort by geo-point. We decided to use [the rstar library](https://docs.rs/rstar) and to save the points in [an RTree](https://docs.rs/rstar/0.9.1/rstar/struct.RTree.html) that we de/serialize in the index database [by using serde](https://serde.rs/) with [bincode](https://docs.rs/bincode). This is not an efficient way to query this tree as it will consume a lot of CPU and memory when a search is made, but at least it is an easy first way to do so.
### What we will have to do on the indexing part:
- [x] Index the `_geo` fields from the documents.
- [x] Create a new module with an extractor in the `extract` module that takes the `obkv_documents` and retrieves the latitude and longitude coordinates, outputting them in a `grenad::Reader` for further process.
- [x] Call the extractor in the `extract::extract_documents_data` function and send the result to the `TypedChunk` module.
- [x] Get the `grenad::Reader` in the `typed_chunk::write_typed_chunk_into_index` function and store all the points in the `rtree`
- [x] Delete the documents from the `RTree` when deleting documents from the database. All this can be done in the `delete_documents.rs` file by getting the data structure and removing the points from it, inserting it back after the modification.
- [x] Clearing the `RTree` entirely when we clear the documents from the database, everything happens in the `clear_documents.rs` file.
- [x] save a Roaring bitmap of all documents containing the `_geo` field
### What we will have to do on the query part:
- [x] Filter the documents at a certain distance around a point, this is done by [collecting the documents from the searched point](https://docs.rs/rstar/0.9.1/rstar/struct.RTree.html#method.nearest_neighbor_iter) while they are in range.
- [x] We must introduce new `geoLowerThan` and `geoGreaterThan` variants to the `Operator` filter enum.
- [x] Implement the `negative` method on both variants where the `geoGreaterThan` variant is implemented by executing the `geoLowerThan` and removing the results found from the whole list of geo faceted documents.
- [x] Add the `_geoRadius` function in the pest parser.
- [x] Introduce a `_geo` ascending ranking function that takes a point in parameter, ~~this function must keep the iterator on the `RTree` and make it peekable~~ This was not possible for now, we had to collect the whole iterator. Only the documents that are part of the candidates must be sent too!
- [x] This ascending ranking rule will only be active if the search is set up with the `_geoPoint` parameter that indicates the center point of the ascending ranking rule.
-----------
- On Meilisearch part: We must introduce a new concept, returning the documents with a new `_geoDistance` field when it passed by the `_geo` ranking rule, this has never been done before. We could maybe just do it afterward when the documents have been retrieved from the database, computing the distance from the `_geoPoint` and all of the documents to be returned.

309: Sort at query time r=Kerollmops a=Kerollmops
This PR:
- Makes the `Asc/Desc` criteria work with strings too, it first returns documents ordered by numbers then by strings, and finally the documents that can't be ordered. Note that it is lexicographically ordered and not ordered by character, which means that it doesn't know about wide and short characters i.e. `a`, `丹`, `▲`.
- Changes the syntax for the `Asc/Desc` criterion by now using a colon to separate the name and the order i.e. `title:asc`, `price:desc`.
- Add the `Sort` criterion at the third position in the ranking rules by default.
- Add the `sort_criteria` method to the `Search` builder struct to let the users define the `Asc/Desc` sortable attributes they want to use at query time. Note that we need to check that the fields are registered in the sortable attributes before performing the search.
- Introduce a new `InvalidSortableAttribute` user error that is raised when the sort criteria declared at query time are not part of the sortable attributes.
- `@ManyTheFish` introduced integration tests for the dynamic Sort criterion.
Fixes#305.
