HN discussion(Author here) Case in point where Elasticsearch shines is one of yesterday's hacker news articles http://sujitpal.blogspot.com/2016/05/elasticsearch-based-ima... Here Elasticsearch is used as a framework where "search" really means some kind of distributed feature similarity. But even text search where your incorporating a lot of data science, external signals, or semantic awareness can fall more into the category o…

HN discussion"Asynchronious message passing is old and great idea. Instead of synchronizing objects and dealing with deadlocks we try to isolate objects and let them exchange messages. Erlang proved it to be extremly powerful tool applicable to wide range of highly scalable mission critical applications. In JVM landscape big interest to this approach started after introducing Scala actors. " That statement is so very poorly info…
