Big API changes - Release Candidate 1

Merge pull request #531 from meilisearch/bump-rc

Bump the workspace crates to 0.9.0-rc.1

Bigger performance improvement

We achieve impressive performance improvements, dividing most of the timings by 2x regarding the last pre-release. It is something like 90x times faster than the current release (v0.8.4) 🎉

Bug fix regarding updates dead-locking

Merge pull request #439 from meilisearch/fix-update-deadlock

Fix a blocking channel, appearing like a deadlock

Massive performance improvements

This new release candidate greatly improves performances, much of the requests are between 3 and 10 times faster, but most importantly the old system could take like several seconds for big requests, this doesn't ever happen again and those requests are now 34 times faster.

Engine refacto with most of the features available

This is a follow up of the v0.8.5-alpha.1 with most of the previous features available (i.e. word splitting, distinct fields).

It is always 3x to 10x faster than the previous core engine algorithm (I even see 27x on specific queries).

Refacto of the search engine

We rewrote the full underlying system to gather performances and reduce the amount of work necessary to answer queries resulting in massive query time reduction (seen x3 to x30 times faster). This is an alpha release, don't use this version in production or anything that need stability.

The exposed port change

We now expose the port 7700 instead of the 8080, this way we avoid conflicts with common existing TCP servers (i.e. node).

A brand new update display

We change the output format of the updates, you can read more about that in #350 and #354.

Reduce the number of dependencies

We no longer need the libssl runtime dependency which, as you probably already know, is one of the hardest dependency to install...
