ElasticSearch is a modern full-text search engine and schema-free database, based on Apache Lucene, communicating by JSON over RESTful HTTP with advanced distributed features for high-availability and scalability. Karel Minařík will provide a short introduction into the general concepts of full-text search, using search engines for data aggregation, and will walk you through concrete examples of using and integrating ElasticSearch in modern web applications. Lukáš Vlček will focus on the distributed, elastic nature of the ElasticSearch cluster and its visualization, as well as demonstrate advanced ElasticSearch features in a web application for searching and browsing e-mail, implemented in JavaScript.

Lukáš Vlček
Senior Software Engineer, Red Hat
I started my career as a graphic designer and web developer but I was eventually grabbed by Java and server side coding. I spent many years developing applications for world wide organisations, but after all, my growing passion about Java open source brought me to JBoss in 2009 and my second passion for full-text search led me to joining JBoss community team in June 2010. My responsibility (calling would be a better word) is to improve full text search for the jboss.org web site and make it really rock!
