--------------------------- DATAFARI V. 4.5-dev ------------------------

NOTE: For the changes compared to the previous version of DATAFARI, please check CHANGES.txt.

Datafari is the perfect product for anyone who needs to search and analyze its corporate big data, based on the most advanced open source technologies.

• It leverages ELK the reference stack to analyze unstructured big data
