Comment on Elasticsearch 2.0.0 GA released

Comments

Elastic Search is a wonderful db for storing all sorts of text data.

Having said that, I wonder if there are any plans to make querying more succinct in the future.

Right now you have to write 20+ lines of unintuitive code to make a relatively simple query.

You know, ElasticSearch and its cousin, Solr, both wrap Lucene. Lucene is not a database, it is an index.

Maybe something like the SQL interface in Solr?

There is a great plugin for Elasticsearch that translates SQL into Elastic queries also [1]. I am unsure if it supports this new major version though.

yea, the Sense browser plugin has made my life a lot easier, but i agree that a relatively sophisticated query/filter + aggregation can be quite a load
