a concurrent indexer combined with fast and relevant search algorithms

Introduction

This repository contains the core engine used in Meilisearch.

It contains a library that can manage one and only one index. Meilisearch manages the multi-index itself. Milli is unable to store updates in a store: it is the job of something else above and this is why it is only able to process one update at a time.

This repository contains crates to quickly debug the engine:

• There are benchmarks located in the benchmarks crate.
• The cli crate is a simple command-line interface that helps run flamegraph on top of it.
• The filter-parser crate contains the parser for the Meilisearch filter syntax.
• The flatten-serde-json crate contains the library that flattens serde-json Value objects like elastic search does.
• The helpers crate is only used to do operations on the database.
• The http-ui crate is a simple HTTP dashboard to tests the features like for real!
• The infos crate is used to dump the internal data-structure and ensure correctness.
• The json-depth-checker crate is used to indicate if a JSON must be flattened.
