Hello! Does anybody know if there is R can be used for analytics over Elasticsearch data? Alternatively, is there any other tool like R that can be used to perform data mining operations over data stored on the Elasticsearch server? Thanks! ---

Elasticsearch has [aggregations](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-aggregations.html) which are useful because they get to interact with data on disk and use the indexes efficiently. It looks like there is also an r client for Elasticsearch: [https://github.com/ropensci/elastic](https://github.com/ropensci/elastic) Those are all the r-like things I remember off hand. ---
