I was talking about using ES as a system of record with my friendly IT director today. We were brainstorming about how 'backup" would work.
The lucene index is immutable, so we can think about ES data as a transaction log. We can recreate from _source at a given time with a scan/scroll archive of docs at an interval, e.g 1h. This is exactly the same as backing up db transaction logs. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
