Search as a Framework

March 26, 2016

A number of search and content processing vendors suggest their information access system can function as a framework. The idea is that search is more than a utility function.

If the information in the article “Abusing Elasticsearch as a Framework” is spot on, a non search vendor may have taken an important step to making an assertion into a reality.

The article states:

Crate is a distributed SQL database that leverages Elasticsearch and Lucene. In it’s infant days it parsed SQL statements and translated them into Elasticsearch queries. It was basically a layer on top of Elasticsearch.

The idea is that the framework uses discovery, master election, replication, etc along with the Lucene search and indexing operations.

Crate, the framework, is a distributed SQL database “that leverages Elasticsearch and Lucene.”
