Elasticsearch in Under a Minute

May 30, 2013

Elasticsearch is generating a lot of buzz of late. For those who are curious, JavaWorld is offering a brief step-by-step tutorial entitled, “ElasticSearch on EC2 in less than 60 seconds.” It begins:

“Curious to see what all the ElasticSearch hubbub is about? Wanna see it in action without a lot of elbow grease? Then look no further, friend – in less than 60 seconds, I’ll show you how to install ElasticSearch on an AWS AMI. You’ll first need an AWS account along with an SSH key pair. If you don’t already have those two steps done, go ahead and do that. The steps that follow suggest a particular AMI; however, you are free to select the instance type. Micro instance types are free to use; consequently, you can get up and running with ElasticSearch in less than a minute for free.”

The instructions continue, but only a developer or programmer would be able to follow along. That’s okay, because they are the audience. However, for those who are interested in an out-of-the-box solution that satisfies both developers and end-users, LucidWorks would be worth investigating. On the market longer than Elasticsearch, LucidWorks is a more trusted solution that works for enterprise search and Big Data. Most importantly, LucidWorks’ security track record is so strong, that other companies, including MapR, seek out LucidWorks as a partner in order to provide security and peace of mind to customers.
