In our case we switched to holding that data in Elasticsearch. Now we have 2 problems: running Elasticsearch and keeping the data in Elasticsearch in sync with MySQL. We took an application-level approach to triggering record sync to ES but somewhere in our ORM it's doing some magic and doesn't sync in certain places. Database triggers are the next stop.

If we could do away with ES and go back to MySQL for what are glorified data grids with 20+ column filtering, sorting, and no full text requirements, we would.

We use ElasticSearch in a very limited capacity for keyword searches against consumer product metadata. We haven't ventured into using it for BI reporting, but I'm interested. I'm sure there is plenty of knowledge I can google, but any early insights or traps to avoid when moving from SQL-based reporting to something in ES?
