Integrating ElasticSearch with MongoDB - mongo-connector vs. elasticsearch-river-mongodb

[wi...@agolo.com]

Hi all,

Newbie on this mailing list, so please excuse me if I break any etiquette. My company is implementing a full text search engine to query our MongoDB database (let's just say it's a giant collection of textual documents). So far I've seen two libraries to accomplished this: 

1. https://github.com/10gen-labs/mongo-connector
   
2. https://github.com/richardwilly98/elasticsearch-river-mongodb
   

From my initial research, it seems that elasticsearch-river is more established, but is more resource-intensive, and don't have the official backing of 10gen like mongo-connector does. So I want to ask you guys: 

1. If you have used either of those, how was your experience?
2. What package would you recommend?

Regards,

William

I've read, during a recent investigation to the ELK stack, that Rivers are deprecated. Just something to keep in mind. I've yet to attempt to integrate MongoDB and Elastic.
