Title should have ElasticSearch in there...

I was thinking of NodeJS.

But the comment is correct, ES is not a db but a indexer and search engine.

edit:

Oh god, don't use it for storage. It index stuff.

You got a document, it'll store it in root words form so you can fuzzy search. It'll also do other NLP stuff to your document such as removing stop words. Once it hit an index you can store index value that point to your primary storage (cassandra, postgresql).

At least that's how I used it. If there is any better alternative I'd like to know about it.
