For once smaller is better.

How would you compare Vespa to ES when it comes to CPU/memory requirements and performance for something like log indexing and search use case?

That's interesting to hear. Would love to read about how Vespa compares to Solr and ES. This may be of interest to you: https://sematext.com/opensee/report/project/trend?q=ElasticS…

At Sematext we help companies with Apache Solr and Elasticsearch. ES/ELK is definitely used mode for timeseries sort of data. Solr community puts more focus on full-text search (em…

People were constantly confused about OT vs OC differences. Great to see this merge!

Do you think AWS will "donate" the distro to ASF or CNCF or Eclipse?

Great to see Java 12 (and the shorter release cycles) but how quickly do people actually move to newer Java? Here's a poll with some results: https://twitter.com/otisg/status/11080…

I'd love to hear more. Could you describe your experience and elaborate on how and why it's next-gen compared to ES?

You would think so, but that is not how it works with Elastic and lots of it customers. I have heard that from N of their (ex-)customers. I get why this happens for them. There is …

There are other companies that offer enterprise support for Elasticsearch (e.g. https://sematext.com/support/elasticsearch-production-suppor... ) as well as training an such. No lo…

Yeah. I think the motivation there was the same. Judging by https://github.com/corretto/corretto-8/graphs/contributors and https://github.com/corretto/corretto-11/graphs/contributo…

WDYT: Would it have been better for AWS to initiate Open Distro for ES as part of e.g. Apache Software Foundation, whose mantra is "community over code"? (or if not ASF for some re…

Then, if that happens, we will see the "Open Open Distro for ES" ;)

My Twitter followers include a lot of Elasticsearch and Solr users. It will be interesting to see what they think of this from their POV as users... https://twitter.com/otisg/statu…

Oh, interesting. I see this as a pure attack/defense move, not just marketing themselves in the OSS world. We'll see :)

Here is one good comparison from Sematext (Sematext provides both Solr and Elasticsearch consulting, support, and training, so we are familiar with both Solr and ES and have no hor…

> This is a very surprising move from AWS. I wonder why you say that? It's kind of obvious that somebody was going to do it sooner or later to protect themselves, no? Perhaps feari…

Any modern monitoring service will provide you with volume discounts if you have hundreds or thousands of servers. Since you mention Papertrail specifically in the context of costs…

Both metrics and logs are needed for the full picture (plus alerts and a few other things, like RUM and error/exception capture, both on front-end and backend). Saying that logs sh…

Unfortunately, the post doesn't share things like: how much infra is needed and how much does it cost, how much time it took to set up, how much maintenance it needs, how long upgr…

We've used Grafana with Sematext Logsene (which exposes Elasticsearch API, so it's like having Grafana talk to ES). Here's a short howto + video: https://sematext.com/blog/2015/12/…
