Forgive my ignorance on the topic of full-text search but is this supposed to compete with Elastic or is this more of an alternative to Lucene? If the latter, then wouldn't you be limited to indexing text datasets small enough to stay in memory?

Elastic is a distributed index which can't be said of Bleve afaik. Therefore, it's more like Lucene.

Correct. Couchbase uses Bleve to provide the distributed search index/query. See: https://docs.couchbase.com/server/6.0/fts/full-text-intro.ht...
