Elasticsearch is a REST-based search and analytics engine based on Lucene.
|
|
Unlike its competitor Apache Solr, it was developed in the beginning with clustering and scaling in mind.
|
|
It allows you to create complex queries while still delivering results very fast.
|
|
|
|
At AOE, we use Elasticsearch for logging as well as our own search solution [Searchperience®](http://www.searchperience.com/).
|
|
We recently moved the Searchperience stack from Solr to Elasticsearch and think this was the right decision.
|
|
Especially in terms of scaling, ease of use and performance, Elasticsearch really shines.
|
|
Also, the API design took some learnings from Apache SOLR into account - for example, the queryDSL is a powerful way of describing different search use cases with highly flexible support of aggregations, etc. |
