The problem with Elasticsearch is not the JVM. A sample of the problems I have: a) Broken, hand-rolled consensus/consistency model [1] b) Designing cluster layout is a bit of a "black art" due to missing/incomplete documentation and complexity of cluster options. c) Promiscuous network activity with default settings: spin up a new node and it will cluster with any existing ES nodes automatically. That's just the beginning. ES is a bit of an operations nightmare to deal with--it's an example of enormous complexity just for a fairly simple service (text search). 1. http://aphyr.com/posts/317-call-me-maybe-elasticsearch |
