Elastic Search 6 0 not that new, but quite improved
2Elastic Search 6.0 not that new, but quite improved.
Shay Bannon has been called a person who has written more code than what is humanly possible. This has led him from working on a solution for search in his spare time to building an open source framework and a global company around that with clients such as eBay and Verizon.
Elastic Search has come a long way and Elastic is about a lot more than search. Today Elastic is announcing version 6.0 of what is now an entire stack built around the core premise of search, and Bannon as the recently appointed CEO discussed with ZDNet the past, present, and future of Elastic Search and the trends shaping the industry.
Our conversation did not start with the new features of version 6.0. If you are part of the Elastic community, you may already know them. If not, you may not get very impressed at first sight. This is interesting in and by itself, but we thought it would be a good idea to shed some light on what Elastic Search can and cannot do before embarking on a detailed discussion on new features.
