Hi, I wish to match a large number of terms (100's of strings) from a large set of logs (1,000,000s of entries). I what to ask if this is something that elasticsearch can do and secondly how best to go about it? This is something that will only be run a few times a year so performance is not an issue. I've got ES set up and used Logstash to index a sample set of logs. Thanks James -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
