I'm doing lots of development with ElasticSearch and I have lots of questions. Can I ask those questions here?

Example of things off the top of my head:

  • does elastic store the timezone when you insert a "date" type?
  • when is it good to turn off indexing for a field?
  • how can i speed up my queries for xyz application?
  • when is it better to disable dynamic schema and enforce a schema for an Elastic index?
  • does Elastic support constraints like a traditional SQL table?
  • what is a good way to get GPS coordinates correctly auto-detected as GPS coordinate type in Elastic?

... rather than me thinking up questions. i looked at the dba.stackexchange.com list of questions with the most upvotes and most of those questions apply to Elastic too.

While elasticsearch is not off-topic here, there aren't a lot of questions being asked. As such you may wait quite a while before getting a great answer.

Having said that, feel free to fire away! The link above shows questions tagged on our main site with the elasticsearch tag.

I'm afraid the example questions you offer, on-topic or not, don't look like good candidates (for any SE site). They are either easily answerable by reading documentation (1, 5), opinion-based (2, 4, 6), or too broad (3).

If you come up with a good, properly researched, and answerable question, I'm sure someone will help.

  • Noting, of course, that the "too broad" nature of item 3 is based solely on the title - a proper question with more detail might be fine. Item 6, when fleshed out, might be an OK question (especially if changed from "What's a good way" to "How can I"); then again, this might be in the docs as well. That said, if the docs aren't helping you, and a trivial trial can't reveal the answer, I'd tend to think a question would be on topic.
