Alex's Elasticsearch Adventure
I have been working on getting a working Elasticsearch database populated with test data, in order to see what the system is capable of.
First, I went through all the steps at https://genomevolution.org/wiki/index.php/Install_Elasticsearch.
Next, I began looking into loading multiple JSON objects into Elasticsearch's system at once. Found useful information at http://httpkit.com/resources/HTTP-from-the-Command-Line/ under the heading "Use a File as a Request Body".
