ElasticSearch in Production by Anne Veling.
From the description:
With Proquest Udini, we have created the worlds largest online article store, and aim to be the center for researchers all over the world. We connect to a 700M solr cluster for search, but have recently also implemented a search component with ElasticSearch. We will discuss how we did this, and how we want to use the 30M index for scientific citation recognition. We will highlight lessons learned in integrating ElasticSearch in our virtualized EC2 environments, and challenges aligning with our continuous deployment processes.
Includes an amusing evolution diagram that shows the current pinnacle of search techology. (Your guess here.)
Just once I would like to see an evolution diagram where the speaker argues, “we got off here because X requirement was better met here.” 😉
Even with that puffing, I wish I had seen the presentation.
Delivering even a subset of 150M publications is no mean feat. I would liked to hear even more details.
