Hi all, I'm quite familiar with ElasticSearch but new to spark, and elasticsearch-spark. My idea at this moment is that by using spark together with elasticsearch, it might be able to increase search performance when the time interval is fixed. question is, is hadoop need to be set up first to use elasticsearch-spark? does it depend on hadoop by any means?

Hi Lee, ``` No. Hadoop isn't required . You can use the spark Standalone mode ( ``` [Spark Standalone Mode - Spark 1.2.0 Documentation](https://spark.apache.org/docs/1.2.0/spark-standalone.html)) when running Elasticsearch on spark.
