Hi Ya.

Can anyone point me out the roadmap for Kibana?

I understand that it is very early days with Kibana. I would love to see  
the following recommendations though:

- Has anyone looked at any of the GUI functionality of commercial tools  
such as Endeca? I have a link posted on my blog that can be used to log on  
to an Endeca demo environment for inspiration  
[http://sonra.io/oracle-endeca-demo-environments/](http://sonra.io/oracle-endeca-demo-environments/).
- In terms of functionality I would suggest to look at the following items  
as a high priority  
(1) The biggest issue I currently have with the Kibana implementation  
is that it does not allow for faceted navigation. So my suggestion would be  
to introduce a faceted navigation widget. This is a standard functionality  
of commercial tools, also cf. Twigkit [http://vimeo.com/78578346](http://vimeo.com/78578346).  
(2) I would love to see breadcrumb style navigation to switch off  
filters and see which filters are active, cf. Endeca demo environment.  
(3) I would love to see a tab functionality. Each tab represents a  
dashboard. Tabs allow to quickly switch between dashboards. Each  
tab/dashboard can be pointed to a different Elasticsearch index, cf Endeca  
demo environment.

cheers  
uli

I don't think there is one, not that I've seen anyway, however feel free to  
raise these as enhancements.
