Using Elasticsearch for archiving with TANGO-controls framework

The TANGO controls framework community has put a lot of effort in creating the HDB++software system that is an high performance, event-driven archiving system. Its design allows storing data into traditional database management systems such as MySQL as well as NoSQL database such as Apache Cassandra. The architecture allow also to easily extend it to other noSql database like, for instance, Elasticsearch. This paper describes the extension for Elasticsearch made and how to use it alongside its graphical tool called Kibana.
