I thought I understood this, but maybe not. I hope someone can shed some
light on this.
I have to index tons of files and I would like to be able to query it from
our web application written in javascript, all will be running on AWS EC2.
Question: If I index the files using native JAVA API, will I be able to
perform queries/searches from the web application via http/REST API?
I am curious to know how people approach this? Note, I would prefer to work
with Java, but willing to do something else if it makes more sense.
The native client is lower overhead but you have to use the same version the client as you do Elasticsearch and you should use the same JVM version as well. If you do java then those are the trade offs.
