Elasticsearch Budapest January

🎉We are happy to announce our first meetup! 🎉

This will be an English speaking event. Thanks for the snacks and location provided by ingatlan.com.

⏰ Venue opens at 18:00, the first talk will start at 18:30.

It's a pleasure to introduce you two awesome talks by two awesome engineers:

🎙 Elasticsearch (R)Evolution — You Know, for Search…
😊 Philipp Krenn
💼 Developer Advocate @ Elastic

Elasticsearch is a distributed, RESTful search and analytics engine built on top of Apache Lucene. After the initial release in 2010, it has become the most widely used full-text search engine, but it is not stopping there.

The revolution happened and now it is time for evolution. We dive into the following questions:

• How can upgrades be improved to avoid any downtime even when changing major versions?
• How can new resiliency features improve recovery scenarios and add totally new features?
• Why are types finally disappearing and how are we are trying to avoid the upgrade pain as much as possible?
• What are examples for some clever performance improvements?
• How can you shrink and (finally) split shards in a highly efficient way?

Join us to learn both about new and upcoming features as well as the motivation and engineering challenges behind them.

Philipp lives to demo interesting technology. Having worked as a web, infrastructure, and database engineer for more than ten years, Philipp is now working as a developer advocate at Elastic — the company behind the open source Elastic Stack consisting of Elasticsearch, Kibana, Beats, and Logstash. Based in Vienna, Austria, he is constantly travelling Europe and beyond to speak and discuss about open source software, search, databases, infrastructure, and security.

🎙 Searching backwards — the Percolate Query
😊 Balázs Máté
💼 Data Engineer @ ingatlan.com

In this talk, Balázs will present ingatlan.com’s use case and solution for calculating various search related statistics by using one of Elasticsearch’s lesser-known, yet powerful features called Percolate Query.

Balázs is a Data Engineer at ingatlan.com, the market leader real estate listing site in Hungary. Previously he worked for startups and a Fortune 500 company in various engineering roles and also held an advisory role at a Big Data consultancy company. He enjoys sharing experience and knowledge in meetups and conferences.

RSVP to the event and let's meet in January!
