A Couchbase Plugin for ElasticSearch

This plug-in uses our Cross Data Center Replication functionality and replicates mutations in real time from your Couchbase cluster to your Elasticsearch cluster. Both technologies use native JSON and are distributed systems, and nicely complement each other.

• Couchbase gives you easy scalability to grow and shrink your cluster without any downtime and low latency access critical for your content and metadata. In addition, you can use the indexing and querying features for light-weight real-time analytics.
• Elasticsearch has a powerful query DSL and can be used to further extend your application with relevance-based, full-text search, faceted navigation and advanced filtering for building richer apps with real-time analytics.

We have received lots of great feedback for our developer preview and beta releases of the plug-in and hope that now you can integrate these systems in production. You may want to get started by setting it up. Here’s a link to the plug-in guide: http://www.couchbase.com/docs/couchbase-elasticsearch/index.html
