Is elastic search compatible with google appengine? Are any examples available? ---

Hi, I do not think this would be possible as appengine has several limitations in its Java API, for example it does not permit to create new instance of ThreadPoolExecutor (see more here: [Java on Google App Engine  |  App Engine Documentation  |  Google Cloud](http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/java/runtime.html#The_Sandbox)).

In the link provided below kimchy shows how to implement search on appengine with compass. He suggests it is possible to turn of threads to comply with the sandbox limitations. Since compass and elastic search are both based on lucene shouldn't something similar be possible?

Nope, elasticsearch is not aimed at running on GAE. shay.banon On Sat, Apr 17, 2010 at 9:29 AM, aghi [aditya.aghi@gmail.com](mailto:aditya.aghi@gmail.com) wrote: > In the link provided below kimchy shows how to implement search on > appengine with compass.
