does anyone actually prefer elastic to solr?
I find solr's API much more intuitive, and documentation and out of the box toolset much more user friendly.
I suspect elastic is kept more obscure and difficult by design.
- packetized 10y agoI agree with you wholeheartedly on the documentation, but having a full-featured HTTP ReST API from the beginning has been a powerful driver for ES, imho. Depending on your use case, this may or may not matter. Currently, I use/admin both - ES for logs, Solr for actual full-text document search.

- IndianAstronaut 10y agoSolr has excellent documentation. The query documentation and examples could use some work, but a lot of basic functionality is quite intuitive. The pivoting engine is also really good and scalable.
