IMPORTANT:
Everyone attending this meetup MUST have their FIRST and LAST name in their meetup profile because the host will be checking names.

COOL: meetup attendees will be able to join Radu's Elasticsearch cluster as part of the demo during the talk.

Radu will be passing through NYC and we’ll use this opportunity to have him tell us about Elasticsearch. Here’s what he’ll do:

We'll start by looking at what Elasticsearch is and how it can act as your NoSQL data-store while providing quick, flexible and scalable search. For example, indexing logs or storing your product information so customers can search on them.

Then, there's a demo part which will open the most important bits of working with Elasticsearch:

installation, indexing and searching for documents text analysis for tweaking the relevance of your searches facets, for pulling out statistics out of documents scaling out, for more capacity and fault tolerance performance tuning for indexing and searching monitoring and administering your cluster in production
