Wait, Elasticsearch? I thought the original
discussions were about Solr?
It certainly started that way but there were but some rather insistent
folks talked me in to giving Elasticsearch a chance. I spent a week
putting together a prototype and I was so impressed that I convinced us to
move over. I'm reasonably sure I sent out an email at the time. I know I
updated the RFC. In any case, that is where we are.
As far what impressed me about elasticsearch:
I like the documentation.
I like the query syntax.
I like the fully baked schema api.
I (mostly) liked the source code itself.
i like the deb package.
I like how organized the bug submission and contribution process is.
Seriously, if you are running an open source project, build something like
http://www.elasticsearch.org/contributing-to-elasticsearch/ . Forcing the
user to reproduce bugs with curl is genius for a service like elasticsearch.
So, yeah, we started with solr but didn't stay there.
