Elasticsearch is an open-source fully distributed search engine based on Apache Lucene. In the month prior to Fosdem there should be a 1.0 release that introduces a lot of exciting features as well as other properties - backwards compatibility guarantee for example.

The talk will start with a brief introduction of what Elasticsearch is and what it can be used for. After a brief run through of the existing features we will dive into the new features, each one will be introduced and then shown in real-life code examples and live demo.
