Featuring Open Distro for Elasticsearch and Solr w/ Kubernetes

(Carl Meadows and Adithya Chandra)
Open Distro for Elasticsearch: Performance Analyzer and PerfTop

Elasticsearch is challenging to provision for a workload, as its performance is hard to model. Elasticsearch is also hard to troubleshoot when it comes to performance problems (and there are several!). Attend this meetup to learn about Performance Analyzer, a feature offered with Open Distro for Elasticsearch. Performance Analyzer is a system that instruments Elasticsearch and exposes metrics that have diagnostic capabilities. We will talk about the design and implementation of Performance Analyzer and also demonstrate a live demo of how it can be used in conjunction with the Open Distro PerfTop to troubleshoot a cluster issue.

Scaling with K8s: Open Orchestration for Solr's Second Movement

Kubernetes gives us a common language to declare how a distributed application should be installed, configured, and maintained in production. Solr offers the community a mature, distributed application for full text-search in the most demanding deployment scenarios. Lucidworks presents a great template for Solr users to embark on their journey of autoscaling and cloud orchestration in the cloud-native era.
