DZone covered a key issue facing the 5 million monthly downloads of Elasticsearch in their article Solution To Elasticsearch. Because Elasticsearch is incompatible with SQL and traditional analytical workflows, companies building new apps on this platform are creating challenges for themsevles down the road:
As noted in the article: “The basic data structure and APIs of Elasticsearch are fundamentally incompatible with most companies’ existing approach to data pipelines. And this lurking issue isn’t limited to Elasticsearch — it applies to third-party apps like Salesforce.com and Workday, MongoDB, Cassandra, Hadoop, Amazon S3, Azure Blob Store, and more. Companies are putting massive amounts of essential data in systems that are incompatible with how they make sense of their data. It’s a Big Data Problem.”
