Hi All, I was wondering what your thoughts were today on using Elasticsearch 5.0.0 as a primary datastore. I know there has been some concerns in the past with durability, resiliency, robustness and data loss ([https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/resiliency/current/index.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/resiliency/current/index.html)), but would 5.0.0 be good enough? Thanks! ---

IMHO that totally depends on your use case and requirements. Your best bet probably is to check the [Resiliency - current status page](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/resiliency/current/index.html). Hope this helps, Isabel ---
