+ElasticSearch
+
+A Distributed RESTful Search Engine
+http://www.elasticsearch.org
+
+ElasticSearch is a distributed RESTful search engine built for the cloud. 
+
+Features include:
+
+Distributed and Highly Available Search Engine.
+  Each index is fully sharded with a configurable number of shards.
+  Each shard can have one or more replicas.
+  Read / Search operations performed on either one of the replica shard.
+
+Multi Tenant with Multi Types.
+  Support for more than one index.
+  Support for more than one type per index.
+  Index level configuration (number of shards, index storage, …).
+
+Various set of APIs
+  HTTP RESTful API
+  Native Java API.
+  All APIs perform automatic node operation rerouting.
+
+Document oriented
+  No need for upfront schema definition.
+  Schema can be defined per type for customization of the indexing process.
+
+Reliable, Asynchronous Write Behind for long term persistency.
+(Near) Real Time Search.
+
+Built on top of Lucene
+  Each shard is a fully functional Lucene index
+  All the power of Lucene easily exposed through simple configuration / plugins
+
+Per operation consistency
+  Single document level operations are atomic, consistent, isolated and durable
+
+This script requires a 'elasticsearch' user/group to exist before running.
+The recommended UID/GID is 280. You can create these like so:
+groupadd -g 280 elasticsearch
+useradd -u 280 -g elasticsearch -s /bin/sh elasticsearch
