 Replying to [comment:27 leeroy]:
 > It adds effective family to details documents;

 Yep.

 > it replaces the family of summary documents with effective family?

 It does, because there's no need to keep the declared family in summary
 documents anymore.  The only thing it was used for was for the node
 indexer to compute effective families.  But if we add effective families
 to summary documents, the declared families can go away.

 Speaking of, I think I'll have to revise that branch and put the part back
 where the node indexer computes effective families itself.  Otherwise,
 it'll require a coordinated update of hourly updater and server.  I'll
 update the branch later today.  We can always take out that code in a
 month from now when we're more certain that all Onionoo service instances
 have been updated.

 > I guess a good way to test it would be to compare effective family of
 details to a search by family on master. This branch is also an
 improvement for moving the computation of effective family to the document
 write stage, which makes more sense than during search index.

 Agreed.  I'll let others comment on this ticket over the weekend, and if
 nobody says it's a crazy idea, I'll deploy on the Onionoo mirror for
 people to test.
