Not sure I understand your point. Can you clarify some?

Lucene uses roaring bitmaps for filters.
Sure, I completely get it. However, does that mean bitmaps have been fully explored? For example, OLAP is only growing as a market as the need for realtime analysis on the most fresh data. I mean, we never going to have 'less' data nor are we ever going to seek results 'slower'. Where I am going with this, utilizing technologies like bitmaps in OLAP services is an area I believe will see continued growth. While Lucene is a known commodity, I think we can agree it hasn't solved the sector, right?
