Hi, I currently have one month of data in my elastic search. However I would like to free up my Elasticsearch every month thanks to an external storage which will store older data. I thought about using Hadoop (HDFS) to store older data, but it seems hard to use and to maintain. Do you guys have any other suggestion ? The external storage needs to have analysis capability equivalent to Hadoop MapReduce, Hive, Pig, Spark for HDFS. Thanks for your help. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
