Full text search with CockroachDB & Elasticsearch

Michael Goddard's blog post outlines a method for integrating CockroachDB with Elasticsearch to enable full-text search capabilities, which are not natively supported by CockroachDB. By utilizing CockroachDB's Change Data Capture (CDC) feature, changes in the database can be streamed to Elasticsearch, which then provides indexing and search functionality. The example setup runs on a Google Cloud Platform VM and involves several components, including a Python Flask app to bridge the databases, Nginx for secure communication, and various installations and configurations to facilitate data flow and indexing. The process demonstrates how to manage real-time data changes and perform searches using Elasticsearch, offering an approach that may inspire further exploration of similar integrations.
