I meant that you probably have an application which is writing data to Cassandra.

In this application, while you send data to Cassandra, send also data to elasticsearch.

I explained something similar but for RDBMS at [https://david.pilato.fr/blog/2015-05-09-advanced-search-for-your-legacy-application/](http://david.pilato.fr/blog/2015/05/09/advanced-search-for-your-legacy-application/).

To me you can apply the same concept to any other datastore and Elasticsearch.

I'm not sure if there are projects to synchronize from Cassandra to elasticsearch.

You can look at using Logstash JDBC input with a Cassandra JDBC driver as someone explained at:

> Hi all, I'm trying to setup Logstash to continuously pull information from Cassandra, in the same fashion it works with file inputs. I'm using the [Cassandra JDBC Driver](http://www.dbschema.com/cassandra-jdbc-driver.html) and I can successfully pull the contents, but once I get the result of my SELECT statement, Logstash closes down. The next time I start it, it reads the entire table again. Is there a way to configure it to run as a daemon and pull any new entries matching my statement? Here is my current config: input { jdbc { jdbc\_connect…

But it's more a batch which run every X minutes so not really real time. Might fit your needs though.
