Hi, Has anyone integrated ES with mongodb. I would really appreciate if you share your experience and how you have done it. I am exploring options to use ES for full text search for some of my data stored in Mongo. Is there any easy way to update ES indexes as and when mongodb gets updated? Just so that I can avoid duplicating the data. Thanks Gautam ---

Hi, There were some questions about it some time ago, maybe people who have done it can jump in. The way that I see it, you will need to integrate the sync between the two on the client side. For example, everytime you change something on mongo, apply the same change to ES (either directly or through a message queue). I don't see a way that ES can do it automatically by querying mongo (as it does with couchdb and the \_changes stream). But, if someone has an idea, I would be happy to hear it and maybe we can implement it. -shay.banon On Sun, Nov 28, 2010 at 1:02 PM, Gautam [mrgautamsam@gmail.com](mailto:mrgautamsam@gmail.com) wrote: > Hi, > > Has anyone integrated ES with mongodb.

Thanks Shay for your response. Much appreciated. Yup, that is a way to do it. But was looking for a much more seamless integration. It would have been great if I could have specified something like (using a push mechanism): 1. Watch Collection A and B 2. Index a selected set of attributes and subdocuments of a particular Collection. And that's it. Then onwards any change in these collections ES gets notified and the job is done. All these can be done in a wrapper layer as well, but would have ideal through a mongo push.

Agreed, though I am not familiar with a mongo push feature, do they have it?

Have sent a query to Mongo team, will let you know when I hear back.
