Distributed search engines partition data across multiple nodes to handle massive datasets with low latency, but struggle with complex aggregations, analytical queries, and joins. Modern workloads increasingly require both search and real-time analytics capabilities in a single platform. The article explores how distributed search architectures work, their limitations, and the convergence toward unified analytics databases that treat search as one capability among many, rather than a standalone engine requiring separate infrastructure.
