Overview of this book

Elasticsearch is a Lucene-based distributed search server that allows users to index and search unstructured content with petabytes of data. This book is your one-stop guide to master the complete Elasticsearch ecosystem. We’ll guide you through comprehensive recipes on what’s new in Elasticsearch 5.x, showing you how to create complex queries and analytics, and perform index mapping, aggregation, and scripting. Further on, you will explore the modules of Cluster and Node monitoring and see ways to back up and restore a snapshot of an index. You will understand how to install Kibana to monitor a cluster and also to extend Kibana for plugins. Finally, you will also see how you can integrate your Java, Scala, Python, and Big Data applications such as Apache Spark and Pig with Elasticsearch, and add enhanced functionalities with custom plugins.

Introduction


To efficiently use Elasticsearch, it is very important to understand its design and working.

The goal of this chapter is to give the readers an overview of the basic concepts of Elasticsearch and to be a quick reference for them. It's essential to better understand them to not fall in common pitfalls due to the lack of know-how about Elasticsearch architecture and internals.

The key concepts that we will see in this chapter are node, index, shard, type/mapping, document, and field.

Elasticsearch can be used in several ways such as:

  • Search engine, which is its main usage

  • Analytics framework via its powerful aggregation system

  • Data store, mainly for log

A brief description of the Elasticsearch logic helps the user to improve performance, search quality and decide when and how to optimize the infrastructure to improve scalability and availability. Some details on data replications and base node communication processes are also explained in the upcoming section, Understanding cluster, replication, and sharding.

At the end of this chapter, the protocols used to manage Elasticsearch are also discussed.
