k
what would be a good platform for ProServ to ask some questions?
like
are Links dead? can we deprecate them?
2i => we end up frequently recommending clients *not* use 2i, and implement a term-based inverted index instead

I'd love to. I didn't even want to put them in the docs

can we augment 2i with a term-based solution?
Epic Redmond
2:42 PM
well, that's a harder call. apparently many people still love 2i
we were just talking about that today
Casey Rosenthal
2:43 PM
so, maybe we don't have to kill 2i
but I'm finding a lot of evidence in CliServ that it causes performance probelms
and our testing shows that even a shitty client-side term-based index in Ruby blows the shit out of 2i in a read-heavy scenario
and frankly, explaining to a client that 2i has an anti-scaling pattern is embarrassing
Epic Redmond
2:45 PM
right, hopefully it'll just starve to death
Casey Rosenthal
2:45 PM
well...
is that the plan?
don't update 2i, and let it die?
because if so, that impacts how we conduct training
there was also a gist out there a while back regarding replacing m/r with something more useful
at this point in time, we basically have no recommended use for m/r
which is also mildly embarrassing to explain to a client
especially the ones that throw lots of $ at us
