Redisearch not work in a cluster?

Question

Our team are thinking of using redisearch on top Elasticsearch as a store unit for real time data. When looking at the document: https://oss.redislabs.com/redisearch/Administration/ I see: RediSearch will not work correctly on a cluster. Does it mean in order to use redisearch, we have to use the commercial version and cant build redisearch cluster by ourself? Thanks

Answer 1

RediSearch will "agree" to work on a cluster setup, but that will not help you much. Creating a clustered search engine requires an additional coordination layer. Right now that's available only for the commercial version - or you can opt to write one on your own! :)

Answer 2

RediSearch 2.0 can now support running in a cluster through the use of the new RSCoordinator module.

Checkout the introduction to RediSearch 2.0 as well as the RSCoordinator project on GitHub.

For anyone was wondering the RSCoordinator is integrated into Redis Search =>2.2
