GeoData now uses Elasticsearch - Wikitech-l

9 Apr 2014

Hi, today GeoData spatial searches were switched from Solr to
Elasticsearch, for now only on testwiki. We're going to test it there
for a while before proceeding to production wikis. Suggestions where
to start are welcome - while GD is populated on many projects, it is
rarely used with a few exceptions:
   5825 eswiki
   2046 enwiki
    223 zhwiki
    216 svwiki
    155 fawiki
    130 ruwiki
    100 dewiki
     75 itwiki
     61 frwiki
     55 arwiki
     54 jawiki

I would like to start with one project, however only itwiki and kowiki
are using Elasticsearch among large Wikipedias.

And finally, appreciation: this was made possible only thanks to awesome
help from our search team, Nik Everett and Chad Horohoe. You kick ass
guys!
