[Xapian-discuss] Xapian linked-in/port driver for Erlang?

[David P. Novakovic]

Unless you are sharding the xapian DB i'm not sure what advantage erlang/OTP
would give over a well written twisted frontend anyway... the xapian library
is not concurrent writesafe, so you might as well just run multiple twisted
nodes in front of it with a single process writing to it. Obviously there
is  ceiling on that too because of the IO restrictions..

Perhaps our erlang friends have other suggestions though..
