Well, this is perhaps a too strong of a statement. AFAIK SOLR does not have any comparable front-end and not many would abandon elastic because marvel is a commercial product.
I respect Elastic team trying to monetize its product(s) and do it in a rather nice way. So I would be perfectly happy paying for Sense. Make Sense available for purchase as a separate product (perhaps with two licenses development/personal and corporate) for a reasonable price on chrome marketplace or elsewhere. I would say many developers would be happy to pay the price and if a corporation needs it it can license a bunch as well. It could still be free when bundled inside of Marvel on DEV boxes... Tying it to marvel definitely reduce choices and creates inconveniences hiding this very useful product that can excel on its own merits. I doubt it will help dramatically in selling marvel (which will hopefully be a success due to its own value) On Wednesday, April 16, 2014 10:43:59 AM UTC-4, jrizzi1 wrote: > > What this essentially does is limit a developer's options > > I went to my boss, and laid out the plans for implementing ES, and told > them > there was no cost, open-source > > Now i have to go back and explain we need licensing on our production VM > if > we need to use sense on that VM, we don't need marvel, its an internal app > to a department of 100 or less users > > If i originally had laid out a plan with costs/licensing agreements, it > would have had to go to a guidance council for approval of the license, > department cost approval, and more than likely would have been ruled out > as > an option , and gone with SOLR instead > > > > -- > View this message in context: > http://elasticsearch-users.115913.n3.nabble.com/Sense-on-github-abandoned-tp4052988p4054272.html > > Sent from the ElasticSearch Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
