Elasticsearch 8.x Cookbook

Overview of this book

Elasticsearch is a Lucene-based distributed search engine at the heart of the Elastic Stack that allows you to index and search unstructured content with petabytes of data. With this updated fifth edition, you'll cover comprehensive recipes relating to what's new in Elasticsearch 8.x and see how to create and run complex queries and analytics. The recipes will guide you through performing index mapping, aggregation, working with queries, and scripting using Elasticsearch. You'll focus on numerous solutions and quick techniques for performing both common and uncommon tasks such as deploying Elasticsearch nodes, using the ingest module, working with X-Pack, and creating different visualizations. As you advance, you'll learn how to manage various clusters, restore data, and install Kibana to monitor a cluster and extend it using a variety of plugins. Furthermore, you'll understand how to 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 Elasticsearch cookbook, you'll have gained in-depth knowledge of implementing the Elasticsearch architecture and be able to manage, search, and store data efficiently and effectively using Elasticsearch.

Using ForceMerge on an index

The Elasticsearch core is based on Lucene, which stores data in segments on disk. During the life of an index, a lot of segments are created and changed. Since many other NoSQL systems (such as Cassandra, Accumulo, and HBase) prevent segments and part of the data from being rewritten, the records are not deleted in place, but they are put in a tombstone state. This means that the document is marked and deleted in metadata without the data being changed on disk. With the increasing number of segments, the speed of searching is decreased due to the time required to read all of them or skipping the records that aren't live (tombstones). The ForceMerge operation allows us to consolidate the index for quicker searching performance and reducing segments.

Getting ready

You will need an up-and-running Elasticsearch installation, as we described in the Downloading and installing Elasticsearch recipe of Chapter 1, Getting Started.
