Hi all, I'm the one who suggested the possibility to crowd fund modules among which an elasticsearch module. I'm working out the idea and hope to post it here somewhere on the forum on thursday.

I forget to say ElasticSearchConnector don't work with the last 2.x.x elasticserach ( my 2.4.5 )

[quote] Fixed, search query generator has bug. ES does not accept source:false it only like source:{} Sorry for the problem, bug will be fixed in next release of the module. [/quote]

I'm not sure if it is compatible with those as well. It only has templates for default-bootstrap.

Ah, I understand now.

I'm certainly interested in @vincendenkspel's plan and hope that as a community we can put together a strong Elasticsearch module for 30bz.

Would love to get this moving. Any further thoughts?

[Briljander]

I'm interested in this too and would be willing to contribute.

[vincentdenkspel]

@dynambee Yes. I'll be making a new post in the general discussions forum in about 12 hours

[vincentdenkspel]

I created a new post in the general discussion section called "Indiegogo ElasticSearch project"

I have just posted an article about crowdfunding modules, we are going to go ahead with it, but we want the community to be able to vote on which module we pick to test the waters out. You can read the article here, https://thirtybees.com/blog/crowdfunding-modules/

We would be willing to fund two of the suggested modules, but the vote didn´t allow picking more than one, so I picked the most important one for us.

[lesley]

Likely what we will do is pick the winning module as the main goal, then the second place module will be a stretch goal, and so on. So in reality if it is popular enough they could all get funded.

Sales starts today in France.

In analytics 250 visitor Brad use 1.6 Giga

[Havouza]

I think if you doubled or tripled the number of visitors the usage would not raise much

[okom3pom]

I tell you that tonight (France) normally the number of visit will be double

How many products? How many different combinations?

[Havouza]

My ES say it take 2.1 just running, probably because it set to not limit the use of memory but I found that a normal shop will not use much more

[okom3pom]

4K product 27K combinations

In index i add combination reference, combination ean13 and synonym for product name

[roband7]

Just for reference, in another project, not related to thirty bees, I implemented an ES based search on top of a database with 180 million records. The ES instance ran just fine on a 4GB low-end server.

I think you´re way overestimating how much CPU and RAM is needed for ES on top of thirty bees.

[dynambee]

@Havouza kindly shared a couple of interesting write-ups he came across in relation to search, and specifically the difference between using a database for search and using a proper search engine. They're written by a developer who worked on a large scale search system for a big ecommerce company but they are well written and I think many people who don't do development work will be able to grasp more of the important concepts:

What Makes Search Engines Special? -- This one talks about search using standard database lookups for search, like PS and 30bz do now.

Building a Search Engine for E-Commerce with Elasticsearch -- This one talks about using a search engine for eCommerce search, some of the issues he encountered on the project, and how different types of search queries can lead to very different results.

Very worthwhile reading!

Cloudways now supports Elasticsearch 5.4 on all their VPS. This project was completed earlier today and should be available to all users now.

Nice. I am actually talking to our guy over there about it now.
