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.

Deleting an index


The counterpart of creating an index is deleting one. Deleting an index means deleting its shards, mappings, and data. There are many common scenarios when we need to delete an index, such as:

  • Removing the index to clean unwanted/obsolete data (for example, old Logstash indices).

  • Resetting an index for a scratch restart.

  • Deleting an index that has some missing shards, mainly due to some failures, to bring the cluster back in a valid state. (If a node dies and it's storing a single replica shard of an index, this index is missing a shard so the cluster state becomes red. In this case, you'll bring back the cluster to a green status, but you lose the data contained in the deleted index.)

Getting ready

You need an up-and-running Elasticsearch installation, as used 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 operative system.
