ElasticSearch is a distributed, RESTful, free/open source search server based on Apache Lucene. It is developed by Shay Banon[1] and is released under the terms of the Apache License. ElasticSearch is developed in Java.

History

Shay Banon created Compass in 2004.[2] While thinking about the third version of Compass he realized that it would be necessary to rewrite big parts of Compass to "create a scalable search solution".[2] So he created "a solution built from the ground up to be distributed" and used a common interface, JSON over HTTP, suitable for programming languages other than Java as well.[2] Shay Banon released the first version of ElasticSearch in February 2010.[3]
In a French interview some more ideas are explained.[4]

Features

ElasticSearch can be used to search all kinds of documents. It provides a scalable search solution, has near real-time search and support for multitenancy.[5] "ElasticSearch is distributed, which means that indices can be divided into shards and each shard can have zero or more replicas. Each node hosts one or more shards, and acts as a coordinator to delegate operations to the correct shard(s). Rebalancing and routing are done automatically [...]".[5]
It uses Apache Lucene and tries to make all features of it available through the JSON and Java API. It supports facetting and percolating, which can be useful for notifying if new documents match for registered queries.
Another feature is called 'Gateway' and handles the long term persistence of the index[6]- i.e. an index can be recovered from the Gateway in a case of a server crash. ElasticSearch supports real-time GET requests, which makes it suitable as a NoSQL solution,[7] but it lacks distributed transactions.[8]

Comparison to other software

Apache Solr is another open source search server built on top of Apache Lucene. There are some documents comparing features or performance of Apache Solr and ElasticSearch. Sematext published a series of posts starting with Solr vs. ElasticSearch Overview[9] comparing ElasticSearch vs. Solr (Solr 4.0, aka SolrCloud, more specifically) in the most comprehensive and neutral comparison to date. In an article from Ryan Sonnek it will be pointed out how Apache Solr and ElasticSearch compare regarding near real-time indexing and searching.[10]
An article in the German iX magazine from Peter Karich lists advantages and disadvantages of ElasticSearch [11] - an English slide is also available,[12] which can be summarized as follows:
Advantages:
  • ElasticSearch is distributed. No separate project required. Replicas are near real-time too, which is called "Push replication".[13][14]
  • ElasticSearch fully supports the near real-time search of Apache Lucene.
  • Handling multitenancy is not a special configuration, whereas a more advanced setup is necessary with Solr.
  • ElasticSearch introduces the concept of the Gateway,[6] which makes full backups easier.
Disadvantages:
  • Only one main developer.[1] This can be mitigated since there is now the company ElasticSearch where not only one man is involved.
Different Usage
  • Use parent/child feature instead of Solr's results grouping or have a look into this issue .
  • No XML support, only JSON
  • Common container deployment (as a WAR file) is in development plugin
  • No convenient wrapper for Java beans as the @Field annotation in SolrJ

Users

There are already smaller and some bigger companies using ElasticSearch,[15] including StumbleUpon,[16] Mozilla [17][18] and Github.[19]

With Proquest Udini, we have created the worlds largest online article store, and aim to be the center for researchers all over the world. We connect to a 700M solr cluster for search, but have recently also implemented a search component with ElasticSearch. We will discuss how we did this, and how we want to use the 30M index for scientific citation recognition. We will highlight lessons learned in integrating ElasticSearch in our virtualized EC2 environments, and challenges aligning with our continuous deployment processes.

In this session we will explore elasticsearch, specifically, how to handle huge amount of data with it, how to effectively search it, and last, use facets to derive complex, (near) real time analytics from it.

Summary: Elasticsearch’s Series B round of funding shows continuing interest among easy-to-use, open-source big-data analytics tools. The funding also heats up the competition for a market leader.
Open-source search provider Elasticsearch has secured $24 million in Series B venture funding, showing business demand for free and simple big-data analytics. Mike Volpi of Index Ventures led the funding round, which included contributions from Benchmark Capital and SV Angel.

Amsterdam-based Elasticsearch, which has now raised a total of $34 million, generates revenue by teaching people how to use the tool at training courses and help them solve problems by way of support

subscriptions. Introduced in 2010 after founder Shay Banon developed it in his free time, the open-source Elasticsearch program today gets downloaded 200,000 times a month. Banon launched the company itself six months ago, when CEO Steven Schuurman got involved, in time to take on a Series A round.

Elasticsearch can make quick work of searching billions of documents and petabytes of data, structured and unstructured alike, said Banon, now the company’s chief technology officer. A single developer can use it to find needles amid haystacks of tweets and other kinds of data, eliminating the need for a team of data scientists, Banon said.

Like LucidWorks, Elasticsearch was developed on top of open-source Apache Lucene. But LucidWorks (which until August 2012 was named Lucid Imagination and has raised at least $16 million) focuses more on the enterprise, as my colleague Barb Darrow has reported, while Elasticsearch has caught on with startups and enterprises alike in several industries, according to Schuurman.
