The point about maintenance is obviously important. I understand how a 
contribution by a (relatively) new community member always carries extra 
abandonment risk.

Regarding the naming, I like inverted-search over indexed-queries because 
indexing the queries is just a part of the feature (albeit an important one). 
Someone in the PR also suggested "saved search" which coincidentally also 
appeared in the netflix blogpost. 

Completely guessing here but percolator makes me think of a coffee percolator, 
and that this is a metaphor for straining the grounds (matching queries) from 
the liquid space that encompasses them. I was also trying to think of a similar 
metaphor like this but didn't get very far!

I agree the feature is relevant / useful.

Another angle on the module vs sandbox or wherever else is maintenance
cost.  If a lot of code is being contributed as is here, then as a PMC
member I hope to get a subjective sense that folks are interested in
maintaining it.  On one hand we have a number of committers here from
Bloomberg, yet the abandoned and now-removed "analytics" component
shows that abandonment is a risk nonetheless.  I don't know how to
conclude this thought but I'm hoping to hear from folks that they
intend to look after this module.  It's not just being "thrown over
the wall", so to speak.

Naming is hard...
* ...-monitor-....: sorry I hate it
* ...-percolator-.... No clue why this was chosen for ElasticSearch.
I can appreciate a curious/non-obvious name like this that is not
going to conflict with anyone's guesses at what a general name might
convey.
* "indexed-queries" or "query-indexing" would be a good name?  This is
the best technical name I can think of.
*  "reverse search" came to mind (based on the Netflix article)
although that makes me think of leading-wildcard / suffix-search.
* "inverted-search"
*  "indexed-query-alerts" incorporates "alerts" thus might better
convey the use-case
