The core part of the search engine is the index service, which is responsible for storing and retrieving
the document data. The index serive is partitioned, along with the executor service, which is responsible for executing
processes. At least one instance of each service must be run, but more can be run
alongside. Multiple partitions is desirable in production to distribute load across multiple physical drives,
as well as reducing the impact of downtime.
Search queries are delegated via the query service, which is a proxy that fans out the query to all
eligible index services. The control service is responsible for distributing commands to the executor
service, and for monitoring the health of the system. It also offers a web interface for operating the system.
