I only looked at your link super fast, but this seems like a very viable alternative to Solr's DIH. DIH does the job fairly well but we've struggled to have developers who are willing to maintain it. The problem, I think, is that DIH appeals to non-programmers who want to index their data without writing (much) code, hence the user base is unable to help out.
I saw that you can take data from NoSql databases, from a rdbms and emails. Can it handle flat tiles, integrate with tika to parse out different file formats, etc? Can it join and denormalize data from a variety of sources and combine that into 1 flat-schema document? I could see your project as something we could use in Solr & Lucene, but with its appeal to more projects than just ours, possibly would not have such a problem attracting developers.

Hello All, I'm sending this email because I think it may be interesting for Solr users, as this project have a strong usage of Solr platform. We are strongly considering opening the source of our DMP (Data Management Platform), if it proves to be technically interesting to other developers / companies.
