I feel sad for this project. This was a reactionary project to elasticsearch's license change to say, heck with it, I will open my own elastic spinoff with AWS. The vibe of the project's community is pretty much reminiscent of a dead multiplier game. The community is not thriving which is essential for an OSS project and elasticsearch is virtually irreplaceable in this space. I do not know any enterprise customers us…

Yeah, I'm never working with Elastic again. I used Lucene first, then Solr, then a custom scaled version, so I never really needed elasticsearch until using AWS. We did have one project on AWS using elastic, but happily moved to opensearch. Seems fine.

For those of us unfortunate to use Atlassian Bitbucket, from version 9.0 onwards OpenSearch is the only supported search server [1] - it'll be interesting to see whether this view is ever flipped back to Elasticsearch in the future.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

It's worth noting that in September 2024 Elasticsearch once again returned to a fully open source license (A GPLv3).

But Elastic Search is still open core. So certain "enterprise" functionally will never make it in the OSS version (unlike in OpenSearch).

I work in enterprise, a lot of which is B2B, and we use Elastic Search extensively. What's "open core"?

Sometimes, the same name refers to multiple things.

The difference here is, Amazon's repurposing a Trade Mark it owned already for something else entirely.
