> What do you mean by search ?

Search maybe is too strong a word - "lookup" is probably more correct. I have a couple of identifiers for each document, from which I want to retrieve the full doc.

I'm not sure what you mean by running custom code on the data. I usually do some kind of transformation afterwards.

I didn't find anything either, which is why I was wondering if I was searching for the wrong thing.

How big is each document ? If documents are big, keep each of them as a separate file and store the ids in a database. If documents are small, then you want something like https://github.com/rockset/rocksdb-cloud for a building block
