Now that's an interesting comment, thanks for that.

I'll probably come across as arrogant now (sorry), but your critique of ES sounds almost ironic to me.

It's especially curious as you do claim experience with SOLR. Have you ever scaled it beyond a single core?

I'll go on a limb and claim that most of what you perceive as opaque in ES is likely magic that actually works. The rarest kind.

Yes, Marvel is not optional to run a meaningfully sized cluster. But where is Marvel for SOLR again? Where is automatic clustering and balancing? Oh, it doesn't exist?

Sure ES isn't perfect. But it's one generation ahead of SOLR. And Postfix is one generation behind SOLR. That's all I'm saying.
