I have worked for many years with Elasticsearch at scale, good thing I am not working with it anymore. The main issue with Elasticsearch was to upgrade versions and maintain the cluster. The cluster is a live creature that can get mad at your data and start hogging the CPU at any time, not to mention GC stops. We used some geo operations on Elasticsearch and from a minor version to another they broke it. What a hell on earth, I hope OPs alternative will bring some relief for those in pain or avoid the pain for those that will eventually need a FTS engine.

What are you using instead now?
I changed jobs, I have not needed a similar technology for the moment.
