Hi.

I have seen some writing about the Chert backend. Generally we use
sorting and ranges quite a lot, since we basically are indexing a
Relational Database. So these speedups are really interesting.

Are there any improvements in indexing/merge speed?

But what are peoples view on the maturity? Whats missing?

We're currently in "production" with a flint backend and since it'll 
cause a complete reindex (takes a few weeks with flint), It isn't 
something I'm going to "just do" if waiting a few weeks/months are 
recommended.

Thanks.
