Tasha,
I know my response is coming late, but I'm trying to catch up with a
long queue of stuff from the holiday season.
You should be able to run without Zebra as long as you observe the
following caveats:
- Browse search in OPAC is broken in Koha 20.11.00, but should be fixed
in 20.11.01 (see
https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=27200).
- The zebraqueue table will fill up unless manually cleared (or with a
cron job of some kind) when the Zebra indexing daemon is running.
Perhaps we could soon switch it off when Elasticsearch is used, but it
has been kept there for situations where both Zebra has been kept
running for Z39.50 etc. (there's now Z39.50 responder that support ES too).
- Zeno mentioned the scan index feature, but it should be working now
(https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=22592). It's
not quite the same as with Zebra, but it usually provides good enough
results.
Best,
Ere

Good afternoon,
I think the answer to the question in my subject is, "yes", but I'd like to check my
understanding. After installing Koha in a VM and reviewing various documentation, my
understanding was that using Zebra or Elasticsearch was an either/or choice, you use one or the
other. However, the Elasticsearch entry on the
wiki<https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Elasticsearch> suggests that eliminating Zebra
dependency in favor of going full Elasticsearch is a work in progress. Is this accurate?
I'm asking because I'm anticipate trouble getting access to download RHEL packages
for Zebra<https://www.indexdata.com/resources/software/zebra/>. I was hoping
we could entirely avoid it and just use Elasticsearch.
Thanks for your time!!
Tasha R. Bales
