Incredibly powerful, large learning curve

  • March 07, 2016

What do you like best about the product?
Elasticsearch is a great product for building large and very powerful search... With great power comes great responsibility though... There's a large learning curve to get up and running, but overall it can really be worth it when you need to have powerful search features across a huge number of documents.
What do you dislike about the product?
The learning curve can be very daunting (the first ES book was probably 4x thicker than any other programming book I own).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use elasticsearch to provide search functionality across multiple models on our site... We also use it to power all of our admin functionality. We've recently experiments with using it to index and build reports for our app analytics as well.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I'd say it's between Solr and Elasticsearch and es is a much more powerful tool.
