A couple follow up questions for you, Barton. Are Zebra facets a general system preference? I see a few facets-related preferences, but nothing specifically tied to Zebra.
We're still using Zebra in our system. Can you clarify what you mean by ElasticSearch not yet being at feature-parity in 18.05? We just upgraded to 18.05. Thoughts on staying w/ Zebra vs. switching over to ES?
