Based on the blog post serie algolia has done, they do not use
something like wiredtiger. So I was fully wrong. They have fine
tuned datastructures for every problem they encounter for indexing
and querying.

Anyway, outside the far reaching goal of achieving concept search,
I find wiredtiger handy+good enough that's why I use it. That's said
if I need to get a living from my free coding I will not use
wiredtiger.
