What are the missing features though ? Autoshard, something related to ranking ? Also curious, why not go with algolia which as I understand kinda built for product facing search use cases ?


Autosharding, authentication, dynamic mapping.


> dynamic mapping

I didn't dig into the docs, but now having seen the "create table whatever(name string)" makes me super paranoid: does your mention of "dynamic mapping" as a missing feature mean that if a document shows up with <<{"name":"Fred","birthday":"1970-12-25"}>> it'll drop the document?


There's a JSON field type that lets you use any schema, but it doesn't support full-text filtering. If you are not using it and if your next document has a different schema, it will cause an error when you try to insert it.
