Amazon and Elasticsearch

May 29, 2015

If you are curious about the utility of Elastic’s technology, you will find “Indexing Common Crawl Metadata on Amazon EMR Using Cascading and Elasticsearch” a useful article to review. The main idea is that Amazon made Elasticsearch do some circus tricks. The write up explains the approach, provides code snippets, and includes a couple of nifty graphics which help those zany Zonies figure out the implications of the data crunched. the main idea is that Elasticsearch did something use with content in everyone’s favorite magic wand Hadoop. Why didn’t Amazon use LucidWorks (Really?)? Hmm. Good question.
