You know, ElasticSearch and its cousin, Solr, both wrap Lucene. Lucene is not a database, it is an index.
Maybe something like the SQL interface in Solr?

There is a great plugin for Elasticsearch that translates SQL into Elastic queries also [1]. I am unsure if it supports this new major version though.

yea, the Sense browser plugin has made my life a lot easier, but i agree that a relatively sophisticated query/filter + aggregation can be quite a load
GA?
General availability. It's a term often used to differentiate between private beta releases, etc.

I'm curious about their business model. It seems like they are a good template for other open source platforms, assuming they are generating revenue and/or profitable.
Does Elastic generate most of their revenue through hosting, support, services, or something else?

They made a few proprietary apps that support/enhance/empower elasticsearch (marvel - a monitoring/operations dashboard/control panel, shield - security, ACL, authentication, encryption (for compliance) and so on, and watcher - alerting for your data, so you can define queries and thresholds and get alerts, call a webhook, send an email, save it into an index), and you get them bundled with their subscription.
So I'd say support and they have just gotten started with the hosted thing. (Which is probably great for a lot of things, big-ish data, full text search for not so latency sensitive applications - such as traditional websites, but we shall see.)

But this isn't the same thing. The GA is general availability and not a release candidate. The OP link has more relevant data.
If it's the same release I don't see how it doesn't count as a dupe. There aren't enough slots on the front page to have a new thread each time software goes from RC to GA.
If HN users feel strongly about this we're always happy to make exceptions, but we see a lot of incremental release and status-change posts, and most don't count as substantive.

Jason from Elastic here. It wasn't the same release as there were critical changes[1] between the RC and the GA, and the RC release will receive no support.

Documents are now fsynced to disk before indexing requests are acknowledged making writes durable-by-default.
Will this solve the problems noted by Ayphr? https://aphyr.com/posts/317-call-me-maybe-elasticsearch
Great progress!

Having said that, I wonder if there are any plans to make querying more succinct in the future.
Right now you have to write 20+ lines of unintuitive code to make a relatively simple query.
