Indexing study

[borsi]

• Research sn indexing and the possibilities of having one centralized index instead of distributed index nodes
• Research azure options: services or vm's
• Come up with an implementation plan for the refactor

  Output

• A story/epic for refactoring Indexing

Considerations

• A user might want to choose between azure services or azure vm's. Should we give her the possibility to do so?
• Is azure search the best solution for us?
• What happens if one wants to migrate her system from one solution (service) to an other (a vm)? How should we support this?
• Sensenet's own query language should stay because of backwards compatibility

Azure Search provides a single index access point and can successfully be a substitute for local Lucene index. In Azure we should support three forms of deployment: app service web apps, virtual machines and service fabric. (the cloud services alternative is a legacy one, so we leave it out)
