I have tagged and released version 8. However all changes relate to the new 
index format, and almost all to on-the-fly merging. This will be vital in the 
next stage - making XMLSpider generate new format indexes, progressively, so 
that 1) XMLSpider no longer takes a week to write an index from scratch, and 2) 
it can actually insert the index.

Going backwards in time...

- this commit removes a bunch of distributed indexing design docs
- are there up to date docs re distributed indexing? are these all going to 
have to be severely rewritten anyway?

- random unit tests are good, but unless you have a fixed seed, it is essential 
that you print it out, ideally on failure but if necessary on starting the 
tests.

- BTreeMap.subSet().
- last line: how can k2 be null? surely if it is null then there is nothing 
left, we can return empty?

BTreeMap.subEntries() - if there is only one key in the tail set, we return 
entries.subMap(lk, lk), which is empty at best or a contradiction at worst; 
changing to subMap(lk, rk) doesn't seem to fix it either, afaics this line 
should just be removed.

(t = timeout) == timeout
eh??
bad idea to Thread.sleep while holding a lock. Use wait/notify not 
sleep/interrupt, it is more reliable.

f34dd12004afceb7fb332af642d6b98ea81500bd
Integers.allocateEvenlyRandom (todo only atm) - shouldn't it be deterministic, 
to maximise overlap when inserting the same data etc? or would it only be used 
in unit tests? (in which case must pass a random in)

71bd3b2f74fef2f74c0cf6684b9d96de6fb09304
ObjectProcessor.update() - what if it's already run? Looks racy - or you expect 
this to happen before we start _any_ jobs?

- use NativeThread? would need a priority passing in ...

- Sorted.keySet().
- instanceof SortedMap? SortedSet surely.
- i guess this doesn't exist any more?

6aac0ad832dcc829ef0e3e7769818d5d6bf3be1d
- new GhostNode(null, null, null, en.getValue())
- when do the keys get set?

- merge and split seem to be swapped around? looking forward to promised 
javadocs!

ParallelSerialiser:

-                       // TODO: toad - if it fails, we won't necessarily know 
until all of the
+                       // TODO NORM: toad - if it fails, we won't necessarily 
know until all of the

dunno ... fast failure is definitely best for UI ...
