Hi, does es support indexing and searching at the same time? and now which companies are using the es , is there some cases about es performance test? THX!!! ---

Yes ! Es is really powerful for that. When I reindex all my YesSql database, my users can perform searches in the same time.

Hi Goog, I'm just doing some performance tests now, so I can help with some preliminary data. Of course it depends a lot on your hardware, your settings and how your data looks like, but I guess you would be interested in what territory you're into 😃 Inserts: I'm putting ~1KB documents (log lines), and I got the following results: - on an ES cluster of 2 virtual servers with very slow storage, 1 replica per shard: 700-1K inserts per second (depends on how many threads you're using) - same cluster, only with decent storage: 2-4K inserts per second. I still think storage (which is network-attached) is my bottleneck, and I'm expecting the machines to hold 7K or so. - high-end laptop (hp 8560w), no shards because it's a single machine: 4-7K inserts per second Query speeds: In all my tests I got ~1s response time for when the total index size was up to 4-5 times the amount of RAM (in my case, it's roughly 8-10 million log lines per GB of RAM, with no replicas). This is using the default "local" gateway. Above that, I don't have relevant data so far. In my book, this is pretty awesome :). Again, it depends on a lot of factors (eg: number of machines in your cluster :p). The tests above are pretty much with the default settings.
