Elasticsearch in Go
Distributed, replicated, full text search, using Bleve and FoundationDB
Instead of considering the following hard problems:
- Rebalancing strategy
- Shard count/size for reasonable rebalances vs not too heavy scatter gather searches
- Add a time based shard dimension for optimal time range limits (e.g. log searches)
We implement a Bleve KVStore backed by FoundationDB
We use the older of Bleve's index types upside_down as this is structured around a key value store model of persistence, which maps well to foundationDB's sorted key value behavior.
Download FoundationDB including client libraries, and run the single default development node
Clone this repo, go install and run bouncy
because FoundationDB client bindings for go use cgo, you may well get some linker warnings such as...
ld: warning: object file (...000025.o) was built for newer OSX version (10.14) than being linked (10.13)
Bleve provides a clean interface for its backing store, and this interface maps quite nicely to FoundationDB's API, which is provided by their go bindings https://github.com/apple/foundationdb/tree/master/bindings/go which are vendored into this repo, as is the whole of the blevesearch repo.
Vendoring is done with go dep
