Overview of this book

ElasticSearch is one of the most promising NoSQL technologies available and is built to provide a scalable search solution with built-in support for near real-time search and multi-tenancy. This practical guide is a complete reference for using ElasticSearch and covers 360 degrees of the ElasticSearch ecosystem. We will get started by showing you how to choose the correct transport layer, communicate with the server, and create custom internal actions for boosting tailored needs. Starting with the basics of the ElasticSearch architecture and how to efficiently index, search, and execute analytics on it, you will learn how to extend ElasticSearch by scripting and monitoring its behaviour. Step-by-step, this book will help you to improve your ability to manage data in indexing with more tailored mappings, along with searching and executing analytics with facets. The topics explored in the book also cover how to integrate ElasticSearch with Python and Java applications. This comprehensive guide will allow you to master storing, searching, and analyzing data with ElasticSearch.

Managing documents


The native APIs for managing document (index, delete, and update) are the most important after the search ones. In this recipe, we will see how to use them. In the next one we will evolve in executing bulk actions to improve performances.

Getting ready

You need a working ElasticSearch cluster and a working copy of Maven.

The code of this recipe is in chapter_10/nativeclient in the code bundle of this book available on Packt's website, and the referred class is DocumentOperations.

How to do it...

For managing documents, we will perform the steps given as follows:

  1. We'll execute all the document with CRUD operations (CReate, Update, Delete) via native client:

    import org.elasticsearch.action.delete.DeleteResponse;
    import org.elasticsearch.action.get.GetResponse;
    import org.elasticsearch.action.index.IndexResponse;
    import org.elasticsearch.action.update.UpdateResponse;
    import org.elasticsearch.client.Client;
    import org.elasticsearch.common.xcontent.XContentFactory;
    
    import java.io...
