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.

Just my 2 cents

    I would say it's time to start thinking about alternatives/further
    encourage the adoption of elastic search and clean up the search

    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.

    Just my two pennies,

    Martin

        Hi Tomas, I don't think that's correct - there was never an
        official decision on deprecating Zebra.

        We deprecated it, though. So focus is on ES integration.

            Hi all,

            I just noticed that Indexdata doesn’t provide Zebra
            packages past Debian Stretch:
            http://ftp.indexdata.dk/pub/zebra/debian/. 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?
