Elastic Search Integration with Koha
by Vimal Kumar V. 21 Nov '14

21 Nov '14

Bywater Solutions and Catalyst IT are working together to implement Elastic Search into Koha. So far, funding for this work has been contributed by: - AARome - Arcadia Public Library - ByWater Solutions - Catalyst IT *Why would I care about Elastic Search?* We need Koha to perform for our future (and present!) library users who expect access to Linked Data sources and a more Google-style searching experience. So, we need an equally modern searching experience in Koha, along with the library’s real life experts and quality content. *Yeah I know those things are important, tell me more then…* Koha is already on the way to supporting Linked Data. We need Elastic Search to support taking MARC records on a round trip to RDF (linked data is RDF), and back again. This will enable libraries to deliver more quality content in their search results. There is also scope for major improvements behind the scenes of Koha, including the ability to rebuild the indexes with no downtime, optimisation of the way we use server resources, real-time usage and performance statistics, and most of all, chipping away at search speed, at every opportunity. *Aaand..what exactly is Elastic Search?* We’ll let www.elasticsearch.org answer this one: “Elasticsearch is a flexible and powerful open source, distributed, real-time search and analytics engine. Architected from the ground up for use in distributed environments where reliability and scalability are must haves, Elasticsearch gives you the ability to move easily beyond simple full-text search. Through its robust set of APIs and query DSLs, plus clients for the most popular programming languages, Elasticsearch delivers on the near limitless promises of search technology”. *So where is implementation up to?* A significant start has been made on implementing Elastic Search and browsing into Koha using the funds raised so far. They’re working, but not fully integrated throughout Koha. It’s a big undertaking, and once the base is there, there are endless opportunities for ways it can be extended to further enhance Koha. The more funds we collect, the more we can build. If your organisation would like to know more about contributing towards Elastic Search development, please contact brendan(a)bywatersolutions.com or kathryn(a)catalyst.net.nz Robin Sheat and Chris Cormack from Catalyst are working with Brendan at Bywater on the development – try eythian, rangi and bag in the community IRC, or the koha-devel mail list for open technical discussions.
