🙋 FAQ
How can I switch from Elasticsearch or OpenSearch to Quickwit?
Quickwit supports a large subset of Elasticsearch/OpenSearch API.
For instance, it has an ES-compatible ingest API to make it easier to migrate your log shippers (Vector, Fluent Bit, Syslog, ...) to Quickwit.
On the search side, the most popular Elasticsearch endpoints, query DSL, and even aggregations are supported.
The list of available endpoints and queries is available here, while the list of supported aggregations is available here.
Let us know if part of the API you are using is missing!
If the client you are using is refusing to connect to Quickwit due to missing headers, you can use the extra_headers option in the node configuration to impersonate any compatible version of Elasticsearch or OpenSearch.
How is Quickwit different from traditional search engines like Elasticsearch or Solr?
The core difference and advantage of Quickwit is its architecture built from the ground to search on cloud storage. We optimized IO paths, revamped the index data structures and made search stateless and sub-second on cloud storage.
How does Quickwit compare to Elastic in terms of cost?
We estimate that Quickwit can be up to 10x cheaper on average than Elastic. To understand how, check out our blog post about searching the web on AWS S3.
What license does Quickwit use?
Quickwit is open-source under the Apache License, Version 2.0 - Apache-2.0.
Is it possible to set up Quickwit for a High Availability (HA)?
HA is available for search, for indexing it's available only with a Kafka source.
