Hi all, Martin and Chris said it much better than me - thx for chiming in.

Hi all I agree, we do need to work on a lightweight alternative, and until we have one support zebra. The vast majority of Koha libraries will not have the budget to be able to run an elastic search cluster. So while elastic search is definitely great and we should continue to improve our usage of it. The beauty of Koha is we don't leave people behind.

I still have a, perhaps misguided, fondness for zebra. I'm not sure Koha has always used it to its strengths and it certainly has its own issues.. but it is significantly lighter weight to run and has a place as a genuine alternative to the rather heavy elasticsearch.. I'd love to see a lightweight option replace zebra as an option one day but I don't think it's a priority quit yet..might be worth some experimenting though given its dwindling support higher up the river.

The latest Ubuntu package is for 18.04 (Bionic): http://ftp.indexdata.dk/pub/zebra/ubuntu/ In fact, Zebra hasn’t been updated since August 2018 according to the changelog: https://software.indexdata.com/zebra/doc/NEWS. In Debian, it looks like Debian 11 Bullseye will have the latest Zebra (2.1.4), so there is that at least. I guess people using Debian 10 Buster will either need to use the buggy Zebra (2.0.59) in Debian or maybe use the Stretch packages from Indexdata. But then from Bullseye onwards there will be the latest Zebra until Debian drops the package I guess. All the more reason to move more to Elasticsearch?
