I love both Solr and ElasticSearch but the big missing comparison for me is: are there any books available? Or even comprehensive tutorials beyond the basics? I love ElasticSearch but it was a huge pain getting up-to-speed on everything. Figuring out things like EdgeNGrams (something I already knew how to do in Solr and Lucene) meant digging into the source code. I'm not shy about doing that myself, but giving that advice to a consulting client would be a non-starter. With the explosive growth of ES just in the last year or two, it's really time for someone to start working on a book. Packt, Manning, O'Reilly, any news?
