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.

Preface

Executing a search with aggregations


The previous recipe can be extended to support aggregations, to retrieve analytics on indexed data.

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.

A Maven tool, or an IDE that natively supports it for Java programming such as Eclipse or IntelliJ IDEA, must be installed.

The code for this recipe is in the chapter_14/nativeclient directory and the referred class is AggregationExample

How to do it...

For executing a search with aggregations, we will perform the steps given as follows:

  1. We need to import the classes needed for the aggregations:

           import org.elasticsearch.search.aggregations.AggregationBuilder; 
           import org.elasticsearch.search.aggregations.bucket.terms.Terms; 
           import org.elasticsearch.search.aggregations.metrics.stats.
           extended.ExtendedStats; 
           import org.elasticsearch.search...
