Originally the most popular (and only) use case for Elasticsearch was for full text search. Then a bunch of people thought it was good for analyzing logs and decided to hijack the brand, and market it as a logging analyzer.

But in its core, Elasticsearch is meant for full text search and analytics. Not logging. Logging is not even an interestinng use case.
