Writing a document database from scratch in Go: Lucene-like filters and indexes

>> How you save/retrieve bytes isn't the interesting part of this blog post as it's elementary

I do not have a beef with the author, at all, in any way, but, LOL, that is anything but elementary.

Furthermore,

>> this post will not implement full text search.

...makes their solution or specifically, their index, not very "Lucene-like". Which is why I had objections to their title, not their blog post. Their blog post is fine :)

Storage is one of the problems you'll need to solve, when doing "Lucene from scratch". Indices are another. Full-text indices implemented from scratch: hard and interesting.

Like most tutorials, surely it's a simple implementation that breaks things down into simple code so that you can see how things work at a more fundamental level and follow along, not something that's going to satisfy ACID properties and compete with Lucene.

Way too much guff in these comments.

It's a very good run-through but it's not at all from scratch. That's my sole point. Didn't mean to be harsh, but their title is click-bait.
