Question

I’m using playframework 1.2.4 and JPA for persistent storage. In the playframework documentation there are many references of using the “like” operator to find entities. I can see using this for a search operation, but because the “like” operator does a full table scan, this is going to be really slow as I have more and more entities. In other words, it doesn’t scale. What is a scalable way to search for entities efficiently? I know that Mysql has a FullText feature to solve this problem, but how can I access this feature using JPA in playframework?

Answer 1

try elasticsearch module, which support JPA very well.
