ES use cases

hi,

if I understand correctly, elasticsearch can index any json structure
and can filter and sort these documents by their fields. So, what is
the recommended way; do You use ES for all listings (eg main page
product list), paging, search, I mean for every select operation
excluding form input pages. Or do I have to use it for only search ?
If I can do everything with ES is it durable and suitable for main
storage, is there a data loss probability ? For consistency do you
rebuild all your indexes periodically, what is your timespan, eg :1
day ?

Serdar

any ideas ?

Since ES is in beta, it is recommended that you will have a way to reindex the data.

thank you, is there a recommended timespan for full reindex ?

You don't need to reindex in ES. It is recommended that you have that option.

Thanks again Shay, one last question; I have an opinion to use ES with
Cassandra. as you know cassandra has weak query & sorting options, so
I plan to use ES not only for search, but also for page listings (eg:
products..), too. Is it feasable and a solid approach, or do I have to
use ES for only search ?

Yea, makes perfect sense. people are using ES for much more than "just" search.
