Hi!

I'm just wondering what people are using as a queue service to put in front of elasticsearch. Is there a recommended or best performed service that people use? There are a lot of technologies available (redis, kafka, rabbitmq, pubsub, zookeeper, etc) so I was wondering if the folks at elasticsearch had a recommended queue service for a big stack that ingests terabytes of data.

Thanks!

We don't have recommendations, it's really what you are comfy with.  
We definitely see a lot of kafka though.
