Elasticsearch 7.0 Cookbook

By: Alberto Paro

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. With this book, you'll be guided through comprehensive recipes on what's new in Elasticsearch 7, and see how to create and run complex queries and analytics. Packed with recipes on performing index mapping, aggregation, and scripting using Elasticsearch, this fourth edition of Elasticsearch Cookbook will get you acquainted with numerous solutions and quick techniques for performing both every day and uncommon tasks such as deploying Elasticsearch nodes, integrating other tools to Elasticsearch, and creating different visualizations. You will install Kibana to monitor a cluster and also extend it using a variety of plugins. Finally, you will integrate your Java, Scala, Python, and big data applications such as Apache Spark and Pig with Elasticsearch, and create efficient data applications powered by enhanced functionalities and custom plugins. By the end of this book, you will have gained in-depth knowledge of implementing Elasticsearch architecture, and you'll be able to manage, search, and store data efficiently and effectively using Elasticsearch.

Mapping an alias field

It is very common to have a lot of different types in several indices. Because Elasticsearch makes it possible to search in many indices, you should filter for common fields at the same time.

In the real world, these fields are not always called in the same way in all mappings (generally because they are derived from different entities), it's very common to have a mix of added_date, timestamp, @timestamp, and date_add fields that are referring to the same date concept.

The alias fields allow you to define an alias name to be resolved, as well as a query time to simplify the call of all fields with the same meaning.
