Steve Mayzak from Elasticsearch Inc. will be on hand to talk all about Elasticsearch's latest 1.0 release, including cool new features like aggregations. He'll also be going over some basics of how Elasticsearch works with Logstash for logging and Kibana for data visualization.

And if we are quite fortunate some of the engineers at Mozilla will be talking about how they use the Elasticsearch ELK stack (that's Elasticsearch, Logstash and Kibana combined) to do all the things.

Please RSVP on meetup.com so we order enough food.

Come hungry for knowledge and noms, as we'll have beer and food on offer.

Martijn Laarman and Greg Marzouka, Elastic.co's two lead .NET developers will be giving a talk titled "Elasticsearch for .NET Developers". Food and drink will be provided, and thanks to Mozilla for hosting! Talk will begin at 6:30 PM.

Abstract: Elasticsearch for .NET Developers: A whirlwind dive into the strongly-typed client for .NET Elasticsearch offers a simple REST interface that exposes JSON, so a .NET developer might be tempted to simply use HttpClient and Json.NET to talk with Elasticsearch.

In this talk we'll showcase, through the usage of LINQPad, some of the features that outline how NEST plays to C# strengths and helps you write terser code, all just one line of code away: new ElasticClient(). A few of the topics that we'll cover:

• Strongly-typed requests and responses - Inference- Query DSL- Aggregations- Covariant result sets- Connection pooling and failover

Attendees will leave this talk knowing how to fully tame Elasticsearch from .NET

Please RSVP for the event on meetup.com so we can order sufficient food and drinks for all attendees: http://www.meetup.com/The-Portlandia-ElasticSearch-Meetup-Group/events/221442669/
