The aim of this project is to emulate the Amazon CloudSearch interface for local testing purposes. I don’t intend this project to be used as a replacement for cloud search.
I wanted to test a platfom that was hardcoded to use only cloudsearch. There was no way I could change the code in question. I was also unable to get other instances due to budget constraints. I looked around for alternatives and found none I could get working on CentOS.
I came across Groonga CloudSearch which implements a local instance of Amazon CloudSearch. I tried hard to get it to work on CentOS and Ubuntu. Sadly it didn’t work for me. Its NodeJS codebase needs updating. Something I don’t have the time to learn and try.
It may be worth keeping and eye on incase it comes to life again.
