On: AWS Elasticsearch: a fundamentally-flawed offering

[nwsm]

That's a weird assumption to make.

AWS Elasticsearch is focused on providing minimum necessary functionality to sell instances.

Opensource Elasticsearch is focused on improving Elasticsearch.

[greatjack613 → nwsm]

Thats a valid point.

But don't you think the more features it has the more instances of it will sell?

[nwsm → greatjack613]

Generally yes, but they can wait for Elasticsearch to implement them and port them over with less time/money spent.

I don't think they have a ton of incentive to surpass Elasticsearch, but just to lag behind at some reasonable rate
