Becoming more the norm for them, Neki is the same.

Immediately rules out ever using them (though I don't currently have any problems that would benefit from that level of scale currently, have in the past though).

Postgres's license allows this but for me (personally) it leaves a bad taste.

I struggle with FTS inside SQL (SQLite and MSSQL). There is often a fairly significant impedance mismatch between the relational concerns and how the documents need to be stored.

I've always preferred to use SQL as the system of record and then build/maintain an external Lucene index. Do we think these integral FTS capabilities are at the point where a hybrid architecture doesn't make sense anymore? How much customization exists in this provider?
