Fixed

Added

• Indexed documents are optionally zlib-compressed on disk. The index itself is not compressed.
• Preliminary Windows support. Builds and runs! Needs more testing.
• Static build support
• Cloning
  • Index shard worker startup time is greatly reduced by automatically cloning existing shards. If no healthy workers are available for cloning, regular sync will be used.
  • This also simplifies changes in shard configurations.
• Bulk load
  • Index shards can be initialized from (optionally gzipped) JSON - files using the lrcli tool
• In-stemmer stop word handling
  • Automatically rejects the most common words in the index.
• Snippet-less, slightly faster, search strategy
• Basic query time synonym handling
  • Synonym lists can be loaded and dumped using lrcli
• Metrics + monitoring
  • New lrmon tool provides a web interface for monitoring
    clusters, plotting metrics and trying out searches.
• And probably something more!
