I was pointing out that 2TB/day is not a very high write volume for modern OSS RDBMSes, especially distributed ones.
As for elasticsearch, I have found it to be temperamental. The "out of the box" experience was usually unhappy. For logging I've seen people move to other tools (splunk, stackdriver) more than once.
- user5994461 9y agoI have found elasticsearch to be one the easiest database I ever had to setup and maintain. Some tuning to do when you have TB on multiple boxes but nothing hardcore. 2 TB/day is fairly easy... as long as you have a bit of experience AND one of the database that can scale horizontally AND the company buys the amount of hardware that is required. StackDriver/Sumologic/logentries are cloud solutions, so obviously one doesn't have to deal with the database ever.
- jacques_chester 9y agoI think it's anecdote vs anecdote, but clearly you have more experience. In a fulltext indexing situation I'd probably look at elasticsearch again; I don't deliberately hamstring myself to try and be right on HN. On the other hand, if I have structured-enough data, I'm going to prefer relational tools for it. Hammers and algebraic nails and so on.
