Hello Elastic - I'm looking for database powerfull to "fulltext search" and "able to hold more then 1mb of text content" and "database as a service".

Q can I store more that \>100mb text content?  
[elastic / elasticsearch / http](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/blob/148265bd164cd5a614cd020fb480d5974f523d81/docs/reference/modules/http.asciidoc)

also I will be collect personal information of users  
Q according with this - who is ^provider of that #data towards to me - "you elastic" or "aws||gcp" ?  
[https://www.elastic.co/cloud/elasticsearch-service/pricing](https://www.elastic.co/cloud/elasticsearch-service/pricing)

Q who monitor and solve scaling problems "ram, storage, speed" of that database?

Bruno

You can store GB/TB of data in Elasticsearch.

Can you clarify that please?

We provide functionality for you to do that.

Also just to note, Elasticsearch is not a database.

thx for answer ^warkolm

You can store GB/TB of data in Elasticsearch.  
Q per item?

who is ^provider of that #data ... Can you clarify that please?  
I'll try figure out where my data will be stored - client towards me is owner of their own data - me like provider for them and client towards to you I'm the owner of that data  
Q so you are client of your infrastructure or you are client to someone else?

We provide functionality for you to do that.  
OK

Elasticsearch is not a database  
Q what that means - what is elasticsearch then if I cannot store date there? 🙂  
where can I store data then? 🙂

You or your customers, we don't own it on any level.

Databases are usually talked about in regards to ACID compliance, Elasticsearch does not have that so it's not accurate to call it a database. The best option would be datastore.

OK maybe I expressed myself else - sure customer is owner - Q but who provide data storage "aws||gcp" ?

ACID compliance, Elasticsearch does not have that so it's not accurate to call it a database  
Q OK but it's possible?  
[https://www.elastic.co/blog/found-elasticsearch-as-nosql](https://www.elastic.co/blog/found-elasticsearch-as-nosql)  
Q how can I have to understand it with combination "#logstash -\> #elasticsearch"  
[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/advanced-pipeline.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/advanced-pipeline.html)  
[https://www.elastic.co/products/logstash](https://www.elastic.co/products/logstash)

The best option would be datastore  
Q OK thx - but how implement fulltext on datastore with elascticsearch? understand it right that I have to store data twice, one in datastore and second to elasticsearch? am I right that elasticsearch is somehow just data superstructure?

--

fulltext search is very important to me - so I try find out how it implement right - becuase #cassandra #googledatastore #dynamo no one has #fulltext - just #elascticsearch and #orientdb #mssql #mysql  
Q so can you advice to me - how can I search data fulltext?

It'd be much easier to respond if you used the quote button when posting other responses that you are replying to, it's a little difficult to track things otherwise 🙂

Yes, either of those depending on what you select.

You index data into Elasticsearch. It will store it and make it available for searching.
