The Elasticsearch is a great open source search and data storage engine and it's getting bigger and bigger every day. Some of the biggest companies like Facebook migrating from Apache Solr to Elasticsearch because of its simplicity and easy adoption. Read more about elasticsearch here: http://www.elasticsearch.org/

Me and Welin Welchev (CTO Europe at Propeople) will present you one of the modules we are building - Elasticsearch Connector. This module has been designed to be a full-featured connection from the world of Drupal to Elasticsearch. A few of the current features including handling of cluster connections and settings through Drupal’s user interface, Elasticsearch Watchdog is a supporting module feature that provides logging of watchdog messages, facet filtering, automatic deletion of old logs using Elasticsearch's TTL metadata, and more. The Search API integration contributes searches, facets, autocomplete suggestions, and "more like this" searches. With view integration for selecting from any index and document types in the cluster. And more on the presentation. 

What we are going to talk:

• What is Elasticsearch?
• How it works?
• What we currently made for Drupal?
• Showing you a demo of Elasticsearch Connector module.
• Roadmap of the project.

We recently made a presentation of this technology to the DUG Berlin and want to share it also with bigger audience interested in search, performance optimisation, distributed storage and new technologies.
