Hello \< the list \> 😉

I would like to know if someone uses Elastic Search in production  
environment. If possible also to give me a feedback about the number of  
document indexed.

It will be very useful for IT managers to know that.

Shay ? Do you have somewhere ES testimonials or guestbook ?

Thanks

David.

Regarding usage in production, I will let the list to answer. I know of several quite big production uses of elasticsearch (TBs of data, billions of documents).

What I would love to do is to have a "usage" section in the site. With user stories on using elasticsearch. So, if someone is interested in that, it would be great. We can collaborate on creating the first several user stories.

I plan to use ES in production in a few weeks.

We are a french software company building a social network software for big  
companies.

In a first step, ES is used for a super fast auto completion engine.

We also plan to start using ES as a product search engine in our website

> **[cuesta menos.com](https://www.cuestamenos.com/)**

> Descubre la mejor forma de comprar online y obtén al mejor precio los productos que necesitas. Sólo en CUESTA MENOS.

This product search engine will also combine search of stores and faceting  
by categories and prices.

We're talking here about 5 million products distributed in around 500 stores  
and 30 categories.

We are in the process of migrating a social monitoring tool [http://  
ataxosocialinsider.cz/; case study here: [http://www.couchbase.com/case-studies/ataxo](http://www.couchbase.com/case-studies/ataxo)]  
from CouchDB-Lucene to Elasticsearch, after couple of weeks of  
research and testing. We plan to use ES both on the "frontend" part  
(which the customer uses to filter, search, mine mentions) as well on  
the "backend" part (the actual crawlers, aggregators, etc).

So far, we've been testing with document counts in several hundred of  
thousands only, and the ES performance was more then satisfactory.  
Given it's internal design, we're confident it can deal with couple of  
terabytes of data and millions of documents on the backend. If we  
would be proved wrong, we'll let everybody know 🙂

Best!,

Karel

We're using it in production at [http://www.presspeople.com/](http://www.presspeople.com/) where  
we're indexing mainly press offices and press releases in spanish. We  
have only around 100.000 items that we sync from a mongodb database in  
near real time, through a queue managed by celeryd. As mongodb and ES  
are not updated atomically, we bulk index everything every night  
(stopping the update queues before the bulk index and restarting them  
after the bulk index finishes). These nightly indexes have a timestamp  
in their name, and they're aliased to a canonical name (presspeople).

We have been moving some queries from mongodb to ES, but we don't yet  
trust it as the main repository of content. For example a few days ago  
I had to move ES directory, and after I could access the last index  
(presspeople-2011-3-5), but I could not access it by its aliased name  
(presspeople). Being able to wipe old data and rebuild it whenever I  
want helps me sleep better.

We love the design and API of ES, and all the features that keep  
coming, all in all, I'm a very happy user.

Cheers,

I have been using Elasticsearch for a trivial application at work.  
Nothing too exciting, the volume of data is rather low (for now), but  
the REST interface allows querying from different applications.

In the meantime, I built a websocket river for Elasticsearch. I am  
currently indexing all RSVPs from [Meetup.com](http://Meetup.com). Why? Because. 🙂 I have  
been doing some rudimentary data mining using only ES and JSON calls!  
Top programming language (by the amount of RSVPs)? PHP. Top state  
for development meetups? NY. My plan is to have an HTML5 interface  
to present the data, but I am not a front-end guy and I have yet to  
start the work.

We're using elasticsearch and definitely will put it in production. we're a  
company that is streaming the web to you.

We're in limited beta but we do things like make a http stream/websocket  
stream of web api's/RSS/email/sms. we're looking for more private beta  
testers soon.  
We allow for filters to be specified on the stream and this all happens  
through elasticsearch/lucene. so you have a real-time filtered stream to  
everything on the web.

If you would be interested in beta testing this send me your email address  
and I'll add you to our invite list.

We've been using elasticsearch in production since last December.  
Performance (search/index), flexibility, and APIs are all awesome.

~33 million docs w/ millions of queries per day with avg response  
times at ~40ms and max times ~2 secs. Our query strings have a lot of  
filters in them, too. Unfortunately, I still can't go into exact  
details on where it is being used due to some legal issues.

Our current pain point is that there is a bug around network  
partitioning that can cause data loss that we are paranoid about.  
Also, when data is re-balancing performance can be impacted, but we  
have mostly mitigated that by only allowing a single index cover and  
single stream per index.

Collecting data from any websocket into Elasticsearch is just a silly  
pet project, which means I have little time to work on it. Here is  
some code so far:

It is not complete, but functional. Almost finished with a  
configurable index builder (bulk or not). There is no testing since  
testing for a plugin seems tricky. The code needs to be abstracted  
first. Also, ES plugins need to be compiled for a specific version,  
so I need to create a configurable build script instead of changing  
the project file, which might be confusing for non-SBT users.

I will probably work on it more after 0.16 is officially released.  
0.16 is required, so I am working of maven snapshots for the plugin  
build and compiling from master for the actual server.

If you plan on working with Meetup data, the example mapping is far  
from complete. The default analyzer and no storage does not work for  
most "interesting" fields.

Not sure why my previous response has yet to appear.

Indexing any content from a websocket into Elasticsearch is just a pet  
project, which means I do not have much time to work on it! Here is  
some code so far:

It is still not complete, but it is functional. I have some code for  
configurable index builders (bulk or not) that is not checked in.  
Also missing are unit tests since testing for a plugin is tricky.  
Need to abstract my classes a bit more first. The main limitation is  
the build system. Elasticsearch plugins must be compiled against the  
version you intend to run with and currently the version is hardcoded  
inside the SBT project file. Once I finished with the code, I will  
create pre-built jar files.

I will probably work on it more once 0.16 is released. 0.16 is a  
requirement due to changes in the river api, so for now you must build  
against jars from the snapshot repo and deploy with a server built  
from sources.

The mapping for the meetup example is far from complete. I actually  
set a few fields to be stored/non-indexded.

i think google groups is having issues now..., seem to be getting the message through mail, but some messages are not showing up in the web google groups interface.
