Great post!

I found it interesting that in your break-down of the problem you were
free to think in terms of autonomic activities -- process orientation.
Some of your language:

- building of initial data
- serving already indexed data
- wait for its status
- accept all incoming requests

Of course you can do this in other languages, but the impedance is
often *much* higher, leaving this sort of approach to the gifted or
very determined. In Erlang it's just what you do!
