Ray Hassan from our solution engineering team has blogged about Elasticsearch on his site cannybag.com (don't ask :-)



Here are some relevant blogs worth sharing:

Gabe Contreras, consulting architect in our services team is also writing up a blog about Elasticsearch on Nutanix that will be published soon. @aluciani or I will post the link here as a reply once its posted.
