Manticore Search

Five years ago we started Manticore Search. Today after 5 years and hundreds of new users, we're ready to say that Manticore Search can be used as an alternative to Elasticsearch for both full-text search and (now) data analytics too. All the details are in this article https://manticoresearch.com/blog... In short: ✔️ 4x faster than Elasticsearch for big data ✔️ 29x faster than Elasticsearch for log analytics ✔️ 15x faster than Elasticsearch for small data ✔️ Support of Kibana (beta stage) ✔️ Support of Logstash (alpha stage) ✔️ 2x faster than Elasticsearch in terms of data ingestion ✔️ Written in C++ ✔️ Purely open source ✔️ SQL-first ✔️ JSON interface similar to Elasticsearch's ✔️ Starts much faster than Elasticsearch ✔️ Fair real-time data processing (Elasticsearch is near-real-time by default) ✔️ Rich full-text search capabilities ✔️ Rich aggregation capabilities ✔️ Support of MySQL wire protocol ✔️ Supports replication and distributed indexes ✔️ Helm chart for Kubernetes ✔️ Imperative and declarative usage modes ✔️ Percolate index
