Example ElasticSearch system available

[Shi Feng]

Hi all,

As some of you may know, we have used ElasticSearch as the guesser in our system and it works pretty well. We put together a simplified system based on QANTA and it's now available here: https://github.com/pinafore/qb-api.

It takes about 15min to follow these steps and get the system running:

1. Register http://qb.entilzha.io/register with your gmail account, save the ID & Key:

export QB_USER_ID=1
export QB_API_KEY='secret-here'

2. Download the API code: https://github.com/pinafore/qb-api

3. Download training data from here, and put it at

    qb-api/web/es_guesser/non_naqt.db

4. Follow this part of the documentation to run the example system. It will train the guesser (~15min) and submit to the server (answer 45 questions). Then you should be able to see your account on the leaderboard. 

You can shutdown and restart ElasticSearch, the trained guesser will still be there.

Any feedback is appreciated.

Thanks!
