Overview of this book

ElasticSearch is one of the most promising NoSQL technologies available and is built to provide a scalable search solution with built-in support for near real-time search and multi-tenancy. This practical guide is a complete reference for using ElasticSearch and covers 360 degrees of the ElasticSearch ecosystem. We will get started by showing you how to choose the correct transport layer, communicate with the server, and create custom internal actions for boosting tailored needs. Starting with the basics of the ElasticSearch architecture and how to efficiently index, search, and execute analytics on it, you will learn how to extend ElasticSearch by scripting and monitoring its behaviour. Step-by-step, this book will help you to improve your ability to manage data in indexing with more tailored mappings, along with searching and executing analytics with facets. The topics explored in the book also cover how to integrate ElasticSearch with Python and Java applications. This comprehensive guide will allow you to master storing, searching, and analyzing data with ElasticSearch.

Introduction

ElasticSearch is designed to be extended with plugins to improve its capabilities. In the previous chapters, we installed and used a lot of them (Transport, River, and Scripting plugins).

The plugins are application extensions that can cover a lot of aspects of ElasticSearch. They can have the following usages:

  • Adding new transport layer (thrift and memcached plugins are examples of this type)
  • Adding new language scripting (that is, Python and JavaScript plugins)
  • Extending Lucene supported analyzers and tokenizers
  • Using the native scripting for speeding up computation of scores, filters, and field manipulations
  • Extending node capabilities, for example, creating a Node plugin that can execute your logic
  • Adding a new river to support new sources
  • Monitoring and administering the cluster

ElasticSearch plugins are of two different kinds: site and jar plugins.

The site plugin is generally a standard HTML5 web application. The jar-native one is a standard Java JAR file with some extra resources...
