Elasticsearch Appeals to Its Core Audience with New Move
April 9, 2014
The open source search wunderkind, Elasticsearch (www.elasticsearch.org) is in the news again. In the crowdsourcing spirit that has helped propel it to the top of many lists, it is sharing more insider information as we learned in the post, “Elasticsearch: The definitive Guide.” http://www.elasticsearch.org/blog/elasticsearch-definitive-guide/ The book helps users of all stripes better understand the engine.
Our favorite part was how the guide is aimed at a particular audience:
“We expect you to have some programming background and, although not required, it would help to have used SQL and have some database experience. We explain concepts from first principles, helping novices to gain a sure footing in the complex world of search.”
There is no watering-down here to appeal to everyone. We like that attitude. The firm has never been one to pull punches regarding tough topics. Just recently they made more headlines by improving their ability to perform log analysis. http://betanews.com/2014/03/20/elasticsearch-makes-log-analysis-faster-and-simpler/ Most search engines would avoid this topic and leave it for programmers, but Elasticsearch understands its audience and gives them tricky tools to play with. We love the things they are doing and eagerly await their next move on the search engine chess board.
