Can anyone explain why Dow Jones would store data like this in elasticsearch? This seems like a classic relational database scenario.


The data didn't leak from Dow Jones, and the article doesn't cover how Dow Jones stores the data internally. Some customer who had the data leaked it from their own open system.


Extremely fast full text fuzzy search on sparse datasets.


Data from various arbitrary public sources would be difficult to put into a rational schema. Querying that schema would also be more difficult that a full tact text ES query
