Implementing Multi Data Center ElasticSearch Replication

ElasticSearch is a phenomenal data store — its easy approach to scalability using symmetric nodes has dramatically improved how we operate scalable message persistence services. With this huge success, we find that some challenges still remain — especially in operating ElasticSearch across geographically distant clusters for fault-tolerance and disaster recovery.

Multi Data Center ElasticSearch Replication

In this talk, PubNub Evangelist Sunny Gleason shares a set of new, open source ElasticSearch plugins that he’s built that use the PubNub fault-tolerant global data stream network as a medium for cross-cluster document replication and indexing. This includes a storage event listener for document change propagation and a new ElasticSearch River for indexing.
