Hello! I'm ES newby, but I want to learn and demostrate Elasticsearch features to my colleagues. I think that ES can solve a lot of problems ๐Ÿ™‚ Question 1: Is it true, that ES can be used as fast, easy-to-use, failproof database for highloaded (millions of hits per day) project? I want to develop small demo site - catalog of classifieds. For example: Realty and Cars now, Electronics later. So, we've got known structure (set of filds) for each classifide and common address directory. There are main tasks for classifieds site: User can choose address form directory: country - state - town. Site menu is rubricator based on classifieds data. For cars it's: new or used - make of car - model. Classifieds can be sorted by date (newer first), price; filtered by some properties: color, number of rooms e.t.c. We can show similiar (relateds) ads - the same price by another brand, the same price but another location etc. Quesiton 2: Is it true, that I can build site based on results of queries to ES? Question 3: What framework for the demo site You can recommend? I want to easely create menus, lists, paginations, groups of ads just set right query or filter. Without lot of codings. It's may be client-side JS framework that can build interface based on JSON response from ES. Or, it's may be server-side framework that will query ES and return HTML code. PHP preffered, but if You know easy to understand Java or Ruby frameworks with examples, plesae point me. Some simple examples of building interfaces based on JSON are welcome ๐Ÿ™‚ If if done this demo, i'll shre on github as demo for others. Thank You. -- ---

I think that ES can solve a lot of problems ๐Ÿ™‚ Depends on the problems - but with good design/planning, ES does a lot of things ๐Ÿ˜‰ > Question 1: Is it true, that ES can be used as fast, easy-to-use, > failproof database for highloaded (millions of hits per day) project? ES is designed to take in lots of content (JSON) and search against it. To get to the level of throughput you are talking about, you will have to design the indexes well, plan your hardware and test for scalability/load. > I want to develop small demo site - catalog of classifieds.

Yes - just use the ES Search API to return the JSON that will populate your site > Question 3: What framework for the demo site You can recommend? > I want to easely create menus, lists, paginations, groups of ads just set > right query or filter.

At the end of the day, ES returns JSON so it is very easy/standard to deal with. > If if done this demo, i'll shre on github as demo for others. Cool.

Hi Alexander, Q1 and Q2 are true :), well what I get with second question is you want to use ES as a database. You can but not a best practice, many topics available about it. Checkout our github account to see some basic examples with many languages/frameworks. [Searchly ยท GitHub](https://github.com/searchbox-io) For a client side example check out [GitHub - okfn/facetview: FacetView is a pure javascript frontend for ElasticSearch.](https://github.com/okfn/facetview) Best, Ferhat [www.searchbox.io](http://www.searchbox.io) On Thursday, December 6, 2012 12:22:00 PM UTC+2, Alexander Peregudov wrote: > Hello! > I'm ES newby, but I want to learn and demostrate Elasticsearch features to > my colleagues.
