The indexer project has a set of configurable optional extension to Rya. Things like support for geosparql, support for free text indexing, and support for precomputed joins (which is where the fluo integration comes in). These are extensions that by default are turned off. They can really increase the data plume associated with some data, which is the main reason why.
In the original port into Apache, this project was only included if you specified that profile. This was because we have traditionally considered those features experimental and they bring in a lot of possibly unwanted dependencies. Aaron refactored it to not be optional when he was updating the pond to reference the Apache parent Pom. So no alternative, but functionality that a typical user may debatably not want.
