Great :)

BTW, you could also build a lua-resty-sphinx2 library atop ngx_lua's
nonblocking cosocket API instead of writing an upstream C module. You
can check out the lua-resty-mysql or lua-resty-redis libraries for
examples:

    https://github.com/agentzh/lua-resty-redis

The ngx_lua cosocket API is more flexible and much easier to use :)
That way you also don't have to use nginx subrequests at all ;)

You're recommended to post ngx_lua related questions to the
openresty-en mailing list:

    https://groups.google.com/group/openresty-en

That way we can see your mails sooner rather later :)
