Interesting, and indeed: "I realize that this is a purist view; maybe under the covers everything is technically sound."
There is definitely a perception that turning to full-text search to handle adhoc queries is a problem. I don't see the issue myself... That said calling it "Lucene Elastic Search" over and over again shows someone is a bit unfamiliar with the code....I'm sure it's not ElasticSearch anywhere under the covers. :) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Noah Slater" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, April 15, 2014 5:27:29 AM Subject: Blog post about choosing CouchDB http://dejanglozic.com/2014/04/14/we-dont-have-mongodb-is-couchdb-ok/ "Due to some legal issues (AGPL license of MongoDB server is giving our lawyers heartburn), we were slow to make that instinctive choice ourselves. Then IBM bought Cloudant, and it was an easy decision - use our very own NoSQL DB, and let somebody else manage it to boot. True master-master replication can't hurt either." An interesting perspective in there about how Cloudant's Lucene integration feels "unnatural" or "unpure". -- Noah Slater https://twitter.com/nslater
