--- ARTICLE FORMULA ----

> Storytelling: 90%

A narrative about how one family's poor choices have resulted in negative outcomes and ultimately, suffering.

> Argument: 5%

Lack of wealth and systemic ethnic persecution result in poor choices by victims. Negative outcomes result. As does suffering.

> Solution 5%

Give more money to people who are both suffering and poor.

Do not address the role that personal choices will or have influenced their own suffering.

Do not address personal accountability.

I see several responses that mention MongoDB for purposes of comparison and seem to conclude Elasticsearch fares favorably.

It should be noted:

[1] Unlike MongoDB (which is a ground-up build), Elasticsearch is basically an API layer on top of Apache Lucene. This is relevant because they haven't built and don't maintain, control, or own the source of their primary IP.

[2] Unlike MongoDB (General Purpose) Elasticsearch is a single purpose database and good at/used for one thing and one thing only. It searches text fields for text.

So its potential use cases and thus marketshare is far more limited.
