Looked at this a couple of days ago and it looks impressive! However, it does saddens me to see the elasticsearch api compatibility being behind a license, I had hoped this was also going to be open after discovering the functionality existed in the first place.

I guess having the cake and eating it too is actually not feasible in this case.

With that said I will indeed have a go at this and test and see if I can replace elasticsearch in our stack.

Good job guys!



Elasticsearch compatibility is provided through a separate component. We believe that this should be a commercial solution. As a commercial entity we need to figure out ways of making money. This is one of them along with SaaS.

What is your use case?


Is this because of the elastic search license or simply the project author chose to commercialize this functionality?
