cbft's Issues

Admin access controls

Implement access controls for all admin actions

Finalize analyzers for supported languages

Finalize analyzers for English (P0), French (P1), German (P1), and Spanish (P1).

Concurrent sorting

Proposal:
Replacing standard library's sort with a concurrent sorting library like sorty.
Note: I am the author of sorty.

Current behavior:
standard sort is not concurrent and runs in a single goroutine. This is very slow.
Also sort.Interface is slower than sorty's lesswap() as a way to access generic collections.
Couch seems to have a parallel version of standard sort.

Desired behavior:
Couch can benefit a lot from concurrent sorting (with sorty or one of alternative libraries.)

Alternatives considered:
See the benchmarks in sorty readme.

Use case:
I have inspected Couch repositories: standard sort is heavily used. sorty can cover all of it except calls to Stable().

Non-UTF8 Review

Ensure that cbft doesn't blow up when passed data that is not in UTF8 format.

Query access control

Implement access controls for queries (bucket permissions for Index, bubbled up permissions for index aliases)

Auditing logs

cbft needs to write significant events to the audit log

web UI lost ability to directly create/edit index param's raw JSON configuration

Before the integration of the bleve-mapping-ui, users were given a raw <textarea> where they could edit the index's params JSON, including all the advanced fields (like changing storage backends).

That advanced "you-know-what-you're-doing" ability was lost as cbft picked up the bleve-mapping-ui.

The workaround, of course, is to use curl, but that's not a great answer.

still under developing? or achieved?

Looks like there is no 1.0 version.. and the last release was in 2015 !
As I know, cbft is the core full text search engine of couchbase, right?
I am curious why this project is getting more inactive even though this engine is the core feature of the Couchbase product !
Could you explain about couchbase's full text search engine status for now and about cbft ?

ignore_unavailable option during index or index alias queries

Add versioning of interface

N1QL has laid out a versioning approach that may be worth considering here:
