Introduction


Elasticsearch is a real-time distributed search and analytics engine. It allows you to explore your data at a speed and at a scale never before possible. With Elasticsearch Connector you don't get just search engine, you get distributed storage framework. Using the search engine is fine, but what about the other possibilities out there? What about user activities, auto tagging and more? 

As a creator and maintainer of Elasticsearch Connector module I would love to share my experience with you.
