So what is the main use case of Multi GET? Redis and Memcached provides the same feature that allows to to fetch multiple values at the same time if you provides a bunch of keys. Does it mean that I can use Elasticsearch as a key-value store? Regards, Dinh On Tue, Jun 28, 2011 at 2:34 AM, David Pilato [david@pilato.fr](mailto:david@pilato.fr) wrote: > Cool feature.

You could use ES as a key/value store long before this feature was added. Of course, ES also allows you to query for objects based on field and term searches as well, which propel it far beyond what is possible with many key/value stores. -- jim On Mon, Jun 27, 2011 at 11:57 PM, Dinh [pcdinh@gmail.com](mailto:pcdinh@gmail.com) wrote: > So what is the main use case of Multi GET?
