Under the covers, ElasticSearch contains mutliple lucene indexes -- so the full expressiveness of lucene queries are translatable to ElasticSearch -- but the benefit of using ES as an abstraction layer to give sharded searches is something attractive enough that we're looking at it too. ;)
We typically see fairly large lucene index over time, and having ElasticSearch to 'purge' sets of data, but still get federated searches is very very attractive. Perhaps a discussion of moving from SOLR to ElasticSearch would be a more fair comparison. regards, Bill On Wed, Nov 16, 2011 at 9:12 AM, Peyman Faratin <pey...@robustlinks.com>wrote: > Hi > > A client is considering moving from Lucene to ElasticSearch.
