Elasticsearch: A Useful Overview

August 1, 2015

Want to shake free of the proprietary search and retrieval systems? I don’t blame you. Irregular and slow bug fixes and licensing handcuffs are two good reasons. Remember: The cost of search is not the licensing fee. The cost is a collection of fees, purchases, and expenses which every search system with which I am familiar is burdened.

Elasticsearch is the go to solution at this time in my opinion. If you want a useful overview of Elasticsearch, check out the Slideshare presentation “Introduction to ElasticSearch.” You may have to “join” LinkedIn / Slideshare to do anything useful, however.

The deck was prepared / delivered in the spring of 2015 by Roy Russo who is affiliated with or is “DevNexus.” The information is jargon free, an approach which the whiz kids at LucidWorks (Really?) may want to imitate. The presentation does contain a couple of buzzwords like NGram, but no MBA speak.
