So is HN data now being stored in ThriftDB? Or is it being replicated on your server? If so, what's the lag?

We wrote a crawler to download data from HN, parse it into JSON, and upload it to ThriftDB. The webapp at hnsearch.com sends requests directly to ThriftDB. There's a ~15min lag between HN and HNSearch.
