Hi Johnny In my undergrad thesis, I worked on the integration of information retrieval systems with a strong focus on word similarity ranking: <https://cdsweb.cern.ch/record/1456329>. It included a *quick* ElasticSearch evaluation which was (unfortunately) not that positive. My main problem was the lack of documentation. Following, the configuration was difficult which seemed to result in arbitrary results. Hopefully, this has changed meanwhile.
Please find the current Solr and an initial Xapian integration here: <http://invenio-software.org/repo/personal/invenio-pglauner/log/?h=master-thesis> It should be soon merged into master. With this bridge, an ES adapter can be easily integrated. Cheers, Patrick ________________________________________ From: Johnny Mariéthoz [[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, October 10, 2012 5:34 PM To: project-invenio-devel (Invenio developers mailing-list) Subject: Invenio 1.1 and ElasticSearch Hello, does anyone has already implemented ElasticSearch in Invenio? After playing with it, it seems a good alternative to Solr as all configuration is done using the REST API and thus can be done at client side (Invenio). Moreover it support facets, filters, load balancing and so on (probably as Solr). If I want to do that, do I have to create an elasticsearchutils.py in the same manner as solrutils.py ? Are facets already supported to Invenio 1.1? Many thanks in advance. -- Johnny
