Please note that the following is a request for comments/input. This is not a decision or definitive recommendation on Axim’s part. DEPR-170 covers a move from Elasticsearch to OpenSearch, which was also discussed in these forums: [image] Deprecation/Removal: DEPR-170 Move from El…

[image] dave: Elasticsearch to OpenSearch isn’t a drop-in replacement, and we will have to modify some code to use newer libraries. We haven’t done a full rollout yet but tests of older opensearch still using the elasticsearch libraries work fine. So it seems possible to stop using elasticsea…

[image] dave: Is it worth delaying the Elasticsearch → OpenSearch migration in order to do discovery work around Meilisearch? I believe it is! I’ve been looking at Meilisearch myself as a candidate replacement for Elasticsearch in Open edX, and I’m excited by this prospect. Elasticsearch is t…

If anyone wants to explore this in detail out or hack on it with me: I just created tutor-contrib-meilisearch will add Meilisearch to your Tutor Nightly devstack and configure edx-platform to connect to it. With only a few small documents in each index (i.e. typical devstack case), it uses < 20 M…

I don’t have much to add, but I’m thrilled that this discussion is happening. I’ve used meilisearch in a Rust-based project before, although the number of usecases was limited, I had a good experience working with it. I believe that performance is definitely the strongest point of meilisearch, and i…

@ashultz : Thank you for the background info! That wiki page is amazing. @braden : That proof-of-concept looks great! We have a couple of in-Studio content search features that will be in development very shortly–one for courses and one for the new libraries experience. I’d like to propose that we i…

The plan to experiment with Meilisearch sounds very reasonable. The most critical point for me is We don’t want to end up in a final state where we’re running both indefinitely Which you cover in the case that the experiments with Meilisearch go wrong. Should it go well and be as good as it look…

@dave The plan sounds great. I will continue to develop my prototype along those lines. I already expanded it to index courseware (in Studio).

[image] Felipe: Which you cover in the case that the experiments with Meilisearch go wrong. Should it go well and be as good as it looks, what could be a rough plan for moving all search to it? Shortly after Redwood, we should have enough information to know how we want to proceed. If Meilise…

One thing that is worth noting about Meilisearch is that it seems to only allow high availability mode in their hosted cloud service. In their comparison matrix, under deployment it shows high availability as “available with Meilisearch Cloud”. Overall it seems like a promising product, but for any…

@blarghmatey : Thank you for the info! That’s definitely concerning. :slightly_frowning_face: The most recent ticket I can find about it is here: About replicating Meilisearch opened 01:49PM - 14 Feb 23 UTC (UTC) …
