Introduction to Elasticsearch

Elasticsearch is a flexible and powerful open source, distributed, real-time search and analytics engine. Architected 
from the ground up for use in distributed environments where reliability and scalability are must haves, Elasticsearch 
gives you the ability to move easily beyond simple full-text search.

In this demonstration, Nick will take us through installing Elasticsearch and creating a cluster. He'll talk about 
configuration and best practices and some examples of how we use Elasticsearch at Wildbit on both Postmark and 
Beanstalk. JP will introduce Elasticsearch queries and talk about how information is indexed in Elasticsearch. 
He'll review aggregating data and the benefits of full-text searching.
