Abstract

Elasticsearch is a full-text search engine rather than your typical database. This means its query performance can be surprising at times. In this talk I will discuss what happens when Elastic handles a query, and from this I will derive general rules about what kinds of queries Elastic can handle efficiently and with which it will struggle. Since the underlying principles are very similar, these hints should mostly be applicable to Solr or any other full-text search engine just as well as to Elasticsearch.

Intended audience

Developers working with Elasticsearch or any other full-text search engine. The topic could be of interest to both beginners interested in performance tuning and to mid-level or senior engineers trying to optimize their systems.
