Elasticsearch is a search systems based on Apache Lucene. It provides full text search for schema-free documents
|
|
|
|
|
and provides access to raw event level data. Elasticsearch is increasingly adding more support for analytics and aggregations.
|
|
|
|
|
[Some members of the community](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/druid-development/nlpwTHNclj8/sOuWlKOzPpYJ) have pointed out
|
|
|
|
|
the resource requirements for data ingestion and aggregation in Elasticsearch is much higher than those of Druid.

|
|
|
Elasticsearch also does not support data summarization/roll-up at ingestion time, which can compact the data that needs to be
|
|
|
|
|
stored up to 100x with real-world data sets. This leads to Elasticsearch having greater storage requirements.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Druid focuses on OLAP work flows. Druid is optimized for high performance (fast aggregation and ingestion) at low cost,
|
|
|
|
|
and supports a wide range of analytic operations. Druid has some basic search support for structured event data, but does not support
|
|
|
|
|
full text search. Druid also does not support completely unstructured data. Measures must be defined in a Druid schema such that
|
|
|
|
|
summarization/roll-up can be done.
