On 29.07.2014 I gave a talk at Search Meetup Karlsruhe on using Scrapy with Elasticsearch, the slides are here. This post evolved from the talk and introduces you to web scraping and search with Scrapy and Elasticsearch.
In the previous two posts on use cases for Elasticsearch we have seen that Elasticsearch can be used to store even large amounts of documents and that we can access those using the full text features of Lucene via the Query DSL. In this shorter post we will put both of use cases together to see how read heavy applications can benefit from Elasticsearch.
I am giving the German talk Anwendungsfälle für Elasticsearch (Use Cases for Elasticsearch) twice in July 2014, first at Developer Week Nürnberg at 15.07.2014 and then at Java Forum Stuttgart at 17.07.2014. The slides for the Developer Week talk, which are a superset of the Java Forum talk, are now available on Slideshare.
In the last post of this series on use cases for Elasticsearch we looked at the features Elasticsearch provides for storing even large amounts of documents. In this post we will look at another one of its core features: Search. I am building on some of the information in the previous post so if you haven't read it you should do so now.
I'll be giving an introductory talk about Elasticsearch twice in July, first at Developer Week Nürnberg, then at Java Forum Stuttgart. I am showing some of the features of Elasticsearch by looking at certain use cases. To prepare for the talks I will try to describe each of the use cases in a blog post as well.
