At least as of a year ago when I looked at Xapian, the incremental
indexing was painful (you had to keep a separate smaller corpus of
additions, reindex it every time a new document was added, and merge
when it got too big), doing anything outside of indexing MySQL rows was
extremely painful (you had to use some weird XML format that I could
never get quite right), and there was no way to have mutable arbitrary
labels.

I also prefer to keep everything in a single process, but that's
not a hard requirement.
