Getting started


How does Elasticsearch store date and how does Elasticsearch store access data? These should be the first questions that come to mind when it comes to efficient indexing. The first thing to understand is how the documents are stored and accessed by Elasticsearch for efficient indexing and to improve the querying experience.

The purpose of this chapter is to prepare your mind for the topics that will be discussed throughout the book in more detail.
