A new type of object available for Infinit.e Community Edition (CE) versions >= v0.3 provided they are running elasticsearch versions >= 1.0.
The idea is to provide a lighter weight Infinit.e CE object for smaller structures, where the output of analyses will be term or record volumes or statistics rather than anything higher level as is often the case with more document centric analysis.
Infinit.e CE records are only stored in elasticsearch, our real-time index, and are (by default) only stored for 30 days. Compare this to documents, which are stored until manually deleted, have a defined metadata format into which incoming is data is restored, and is synchronized between MongoDB (our persistent data store) and elasticsearch. The result is that records are more limited, and much more efficient in terms of search and aggregation speed for a given hardware footprint.
