Does anyone know why they chose Xapian over elasticsearch?
- robn_fastmail 12y agoXapian is to Cyrus what Lucene is to Elasticsearch - the search engine embedded into the larger server.
- ams6110 12y agoFor me it would be the use of Java. I've just had too much bad luck with it. Admittedly that's not really very objective reasoning.
- alfiedotwtf 12y agoFrom memory (sorry, it was a while back) we actually started with Elasticsearch, but it was way to heavy and looked for an alternative solution. Even with a single user it was consuming way too much memory.
- robn_fastmail 12y agoSorry Alfie, your memory fails. We started with Sphinx. We use Elasticsearch elsewhere (ELK stack), but not for mail search.
