Thanks for the reply.
If I run Elasticsearch as a standalone service then I have to copy customer's data in Elasticsearch indexes but I am not sure how to do that.Any suggestion how to go about it would be great.
Little background :
My organisation's customers data is stored in DB2 hosted on Mainframe.At present the customer search is done by invoking SOAP webservices from frontend(Portals hosted on IBM Websphere) which brings out the results from DB2 hosted on mainframe.Over the time the response time has increased due to increase in vol of customers and high CPU intensive queries in COBOL modules.Now, someone in here suggested to implement this search using Elasticsearch to save CPU/MIPS & increase response time.
It would be great if you could explain in detail how to go about it.
