It has an very long way ahead to catch up with Lucene, but it's a very promising start.
Naïve question from a bystander: how much better is Lucene compared to bleve ?
/aside: I get rewriting for the n-th time some utility (say a db driver) in language du jour, but (possibly poorly) replicating things like Lucene never made sense. Lucene is a fairly solid tech by all accounts.
