Appreciate the strategies that went into the work to optimize a high latency foundation to feasibly work as a search index.

Fundamentally, our work and stack goes against this specific architecture. Were I to make one, where scalability and efficiency for a search index is prioritized, I would approach it more from a regionally distributed hierarchical fractal architecture where caching is leveraged at every layer.

But architectures as presented in the original article put strong constraints on the solution space which is how exceptional insights and breakthroughs happen.

You have my respects.
