Running Ray Jobs with Elasticsearch Data

Elasticsearch

Elasticsearch is a distributed, RESTful search and analytics engine that can be used to search all kinds of documents. It provides scalable search, has near real-time search, and supports multitenancy. Elasticsearch is popular because it's easy to use and has a lot of features. It's also open-source and has a large community of users. Elasticsearch is a NoSQL database because it doesn't use the traditional SQL relational database model. Instead, it uses a document-oriented model that allows for more flexibility and scalability.

Ray

Ray is an open-source distributed computing framework that makes it easy to build scalable and efficient applications. It was developed by a team at UC Berkeley's RISELab and has become increasingly popular over the years because of its ability to handle complex workloads with ease. Ray provides a simple API for building distributed applications, making it easy for developers to scale their applications without having to worry about the underlying infrastructure. Ray has been used for a wide variety of applications, including machine learning, reinforcement learning, data processing, and more. It has been adopted by many companies, including Amazon, NVIDIA, and Uber. Ray's popularity can be attributed to its ease of use, scalability, and flexibility.

With the growing popularity of both Elasticsearch for data storage and Ray for compute workloads, it is unsurprising that many organizations are seeking to run Ray jobs with Elasticsearch data.
