Hi Ben, the ES connector was part of it. At a certain point we had our custom oplog follower working well. After so many years working with MongoDB, we just lost trust in it, to be honest. We ran into so many bugs, replication issues (two secondaries and no primary) and the only way to get what we needed out of it was to use all SSD storage (Even flashcache did not work).

I have to admit that this was for our use case, and I know that MongoDB works extremely well for some people. We still use it in Beanstalk for our deployment logs and have no complaints. It's a much smaller dataset though.

Really nice to see that 10gen made an ES connector. ES is still young, but it's amazing. One thing that I always respected about 10gen is how they maintain all of the drivers and code.
