I would like to integrate elastic search for my existing website to speed up the search functionality. I have seen this plugin to import data from mysql to ES [https://github.com/jprante/elasticsearch-jdbc](https://github.com/jprante/elasticsearch-jdbc)
Is the plugin handle the synchronization btw these two? How can I update(modify/delete) the ES data whenever there is a change in the existing MySQL DB
Can Logstash can be used in this scenario?
Kindly suggest

I shared most of my thoughts there: [http://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/)
Basically, I'd recommend modifying the application layer if possible and send data to elasticsearch in the same "transaction" as you are sending your data to the database.
