Hi all,

Firstly, I'm a developer on an RMM tool that uses Java technology on  
the server side. Our server product comprises a 'pure Java' component,  
and a Grails-based web application for managing the 'pure Java'  
component. I was going to use the Grails Searchable plugin for  
indexing entries in our DB to provide a more performant and powerful  
search experience. Currently we've gotten away with brute force SQL  
'searching' but obviously this does not scale and I need to do due  
diligence and refactor the search aspect appropriately.

I 'stumbled' upon ES and am totally sold after spending the afternoon  
playing with it on my local machine and reading through the various  
documents. I have also watched the videos on the site. Shay, it is  
excellent work you are doing. Well done! Very excited for the  
evolution of this project.

I'll follow up this post with some basic questions that I need a point  
in the right direction on.

- Darryl

Heya,

The Grails searchable plugin is built on top Compass, which I wrote as  
well :). I hope there will be a good grails plugin for elasticsearch, seems  
like people are working on it (someone posted something on the grails  
mailing list, you can ping them).

Nice to have you onboard!
