Elasticsearch - Basics and Architecture

ARelational database, because it supports ACID transactions and joins.

BRelational database, because it is optimized for full-text search.

CElasticsearch, because it stores data in JSON and is schema-less.

DElasticsearch, because it handles complex joins efficiently.

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Identify requirements
The system needs complex transactions, multiple joins, and strict data integrity.
Step 2: Match requirements to database features
Relational databases provide ACID transactions and support joins, ensuring data integrity.
Step 3: Compare Elasticsearch capabilities
Elasticsearch is optimized for search and analytics, not transactional integrity or joins.
Final Answer:
Relational database, because it supports ACID transactions and joins. -> Option A
Quick Check:
Transactions + joins = Relational DB [OK]

Quick Trick: Use relational DB for transactions and joins, Elasticsearch for search [OK]

Common Mistakes:
