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. By the end of this book, you will have an in-depth knowledge of the implementation of the Elasticsearch architecture and will be able to manage data efficiently and effectively with Elasticsearch.

Managing repositories


Elasticsearch provides a built-in system to rapidly ot and restore your data. When working with live data, keeping a backup is complex, due to the large number of concurrency problems.

An Elasticsearch snapshot allows for the creation of snapshots of individual indices (or aliases), or an entire cluster, into a remote repository.

Before starting to execute a snapshot, a repository must be created--this is where your backups/snapshots will be stored.

Getting ready

You need an up-and-running Elasticsearch installation as we described in the Downloading and installing Elasticsearch recipe in Chapter 2, Downloading and Setup.

To execute curl via the command line you need to install curl for your operating system.

We need to edit config/elasticsearch.yml and add the directory of your backup repository:

path.repo: /tmp/

For our examples, we'll be using the /tmp directory available in every Unix system. Generally, in a production cluster, this directory should be a shared repository...
