Elasticsearch is based off lucene so they are making money off another open source project.
- paulddraper 3y agoTechnically true, but practically different. Lucene is the core piece but %-wise the minority of the ES product. There's no Lucene "competitor" to Elasticsearch.
- Xylakant 3y ago> There's no Lucene "competitor" to Elasticsearch. Apache Solr, which existed long before Elasticsearch was conceived.
- paulddraper 3y agoSolr is a separate product. It is also an Apache project, though so are a million other projects. It also doesn't even have a commercial offering; Elasticsearch in no way affects any financial ambitions.
