The main tag line says "Drop-in replacement for E in the ELK stack" -- but here you say you aren't a drop-in replacement.

Does this mean you've at least implemented every API that Kibana requires?

Not every, but Kibana can be used with Manticore with some limitations - https://github.com/manticoresoftware/kibana-demo

So, "Drop-in replacement for E in the ELK stack, but not really, maybe, limitations apply"? Why even use that copy then?

To entice people searching for ElasticSearch alternatives.

The clear misrepresentation for years with absolutely no shame...

To be honest plenty do that. Companies claim their object storage is S3 compatiable even if they havent implemented every single functionality that S3 has.

Let's call it an almost equivalent replacement, like "e" for "E".
