Elasticsearch for Everything

A short (~20m) presentation demonstrating practical uses for Elasticsearch beyond simple search. See the video: http://vimeo.com/blacklocus/dev-and-data-2013-elasticsearch-for-everything

To use

1. Set up an elasticsearch cluster. For best visual effect, consider one consisting of more than one node.
2. Install the elasticsearch-head plugin on a node in the cluster. Alternatively, just have elasticsearch-head locally, and connect it to a node on the cluster.
3. Adjust libraries/addyosmani-todomvc-d41638c/architecture-examples/backbone/js/collections/todos.js to point the TodoList url to an HTTP endpoint of a node in your elasticsearch cluster if other than http://127.0.0.1:9200...
4. Set up an index for Twitter tweets. You'll want to make sure the created_at date format is set to Twitter's format. See this wiki page for the schema I used. You can PUT just the created_at mapping if you want; auto-mapping does fine for the other fields.
5. Load a Twitter archive into that elasticsearch index. I used ElasticTweets to load my downloaded Twitter archive.
6. Open deck.html in a modern web browser. Consider opening developer browser tooling that can demonstrate HTTP connections for technical audiences.
