Elastic Search is a wonderful db for storing all sorts of text data.<p>Having said that, I wonder if there are any plans to make querying more succinct in the future.<p>Right now you have to write 20+ lines of unintuitive code to make a relatively simple query.
I'm curious about their business model. It seems like they are a good template for other open source platforms, assuming they are generating revenue and/or profitable.<p>Does Elastic generate most of their revenue through hosting, support, services, or something else?
<i>Documents are now fsynced to disk before indexing requests are acknowledged making writes durable-by-default.</i><p>Will this solve the problems noted by Ayphr? <a href="https://aphyr.com/posts/317-call-me-maybe-elasticsearch" rel="nofollow">https://aphyr.com/posts/317-call-me-maybe-elasticsearch</a><p>Great progress!
