<br>
In addition to the goals Galen has mentioned.<br>
<br>
Catalyst and Bywater are working on adding ElasticSearch as an option<br>
for searching in Koha.<br>
It will of course not remove Zebra, but will provide the option of<br>
using it as a search tool instead.<br>
<br>
The brief plan is<br>
<br>
Write code, so that if ElasticSearch is selected, when a Biblio is<br>
modified the index is updated. This will not preclude the zebra code<br>
from running, so the zebra indices are still updated too. (This is<br>
mostly working now)<br>
<br>
Next, allow the Public Interface (OPAC in the old talk) to use<br>
ElasticSearch to do it's searches (sorta working)<br>
<br>
Then, implement a browse feature (in planning)<br>
<br>
Then, allow the staff catalogue to use ElasticSearch (not even started).<br>
<br>
(Probably only get this far for 3.16)<br>
<br>
Then move on to the authorities ..<br>
<br>
Then allow for fully ajax option for searching ...<br>
<br>
The plan is incremental increases, not breaking existing search, in<br>
fact not touching the zebra code at all, so that any time you could<br>
switch back and you would still have working searches.<br>
<br>
Maybe eventually it will be feature complete, including a z3950 and<br>
sru/sw server and we can make switching it on mean switching zebra<br>
off. But definitely not for 3.16.<br>
<br>

<br>
I push everything as I go, (I will tidy it up into neater patches<br>
before submitting of course)<br>
<br>
Also, big huge thanks to the Catmandu developers<br>
<a href="http://librecat.org/index.html" target="_blank">http://librecat.org/index.html</a> whose library I am making extensive use of<br>
<a href="http://search.cpan.org/~nics/Catmandu-0.8001/" target="_blank">http://search.cpan.org/~nics/Catmandu-0.8001/</a><br>
<br>
I even got a patch in <a href="https://github.com/LibreCat/Catmandu-MARC/commits/master" target="_blank">https://github.com/LibreCat/Catmandu-MARC/commits/master</a><br>
And its in the latest version on CPAN already.<br>
<br>
I am sure we will make much more use of their code, for creating RDF etc also<br>
<br>
Ok, tangent finished :)<br>
