I don't know, most of us are rather sensitive about how much CPU and RAM resources are wasted and ES uses up a lot more of both from the results I've seen posted here (considerably more HD space as well). For our uses, the ES benefits are secondary to Sphinx's so I'd certainly prefer Sphinx integration over ES.
Because it was easier? Honest question, because I just don't see how ES would beat Sphinx for the majority of big board users.
Okay... I have a *little* more experience with ES now... And the more I play with it, the more I like it. It does some things that I wish Sphinx would do... for example it's ability to auto-shard and replicate to other nodes (servers) is pretty seamless and awesome (it's actually the easiest system of any sort I've dealt with for sharding/replicating... it more or less "magically" works just because it's on the same local network as other nodes... add a server, and the other nodes instantly distribute data to the new node as soon as it's online).Thanks digitalpoint, I always appreciate your expert input. For your site, would you pick ES over Sphinx?
Not really much to look at currently... just a dev setup without much content.I love your ElasticSearch Statistics. Very nice.
So I ended up making that little status block for ElasticSearch so you can click the nodes to get detailed info about that node... Might help finding config issues fairly easy...
I ended up writing a module so I can monitor the ElasticSearch cluster from the XenForo admin home...
If the benchmarks end up being as good as the rest of it, I'll be sold on ES over Sphinx.
