Elasticsearch Brings on Additional Leadership
August 14, 2013
Open source companies are announcing expansions and broadening leadership teams at a rapid pace. Elasticsearch is joining that trend with their latest announcement. Read more in the MarketWatch article, “Elasticsearch Names Kevin Kluge Vice President of Engineering.”
The article begins:
“Elasticsearch, the company behind the popular real-time search and analytics open source project, today announced the appointment of Kevin Kluge as vice president of engineering. Kevin has a history of leading engineering teams for companies that have changed the dynamics of their markets, including Citrix, Cloud.com and Zimbra. He will play a critical role in extending the value of Elasticsearch.”
Elasticsearch has been a bit embattled in the last year but there is not doubt that they are part of the larger trend of a growing open source search market. However, they are not quite up to the standard that LucidWorks and others have set. LucidWorks is considered the industry leader in customer support and training, and they build upon what is arguably the strongest open source search infrastructure and community, Apache Lucene Solr.
