[pycsw-devel] ElasticSearch integration

[Paolo Corti]

Dear Mike

thanks for your interest in Hypermap. You may find a few documentation
here: http://cga-harvard.github.io/Hypermap-Registry/

I am not sure which is your user case. At this time (Tom and Angelos
correct me if anything changed in this respect) pycsw does not support a
search engine (Solr/ES) back end directly - though we have discussed a
possible implementation of it a few times.
Hypermap approach is to enable an OGC CSW (based on pycsw) on top of a
collection of map web services which can be harvested, health checked
and monitored by the Hypermap web application. Hypermap stores all of
this information in a relational database, and pycsw will use it as a
back end. At the same time Hypermap can sync this information to a
search engine, which can be used via an API for doing more powerful
searches.
Again, if you explain better your use case, I can provide maybe more
information.

By the way, these two journal papers can also contain useful
information for you:

kind regards
Paolo

Knowing hardly anything about pycsw, after reading this PR I had assumed I'd be writing a backend that would query ES and instead of a  SQL database. But the docs say "pycsw is enabled and configured by default in HHypermap".  Now after reading #208,  #410 and #95 I'm totally confused where to start.
