Overview of this book

Beginning with an overview of the way ElasticSearch stores data, you’ll begin to extend your knowledge to tackle indexing and mapping, and learn how to configure ElasticSearch to meet your users’ needs. You’ll then find out how to use analysis and analyzers for greater intelligence in how you organize and pull up search results – to guarantee that every search query is met with the relevant results! You’ll explore the anatomy of an ElasticSearch cluster, and learn how to set up configurations that give you optimum availability as well as scalability. Once you’ve learned how these elements work, you’ll find real-world solutions to help you improve indexing performance, as well as tips and guidance on safety so you can back up and restore data. Once you’ve learned each component outlined throughout, you will be confident that you can help to deliver an improved search experience – exactly what modern users demand and expect.

A snapshot can be restored using the following command:

If you want to restore just certain indices, you must be specify the list of indices in the body of the request:

  "rename_replacement": "restored_$1"
}'

The indices parameter defines the index names that need to be restored. It supports multi-index syntax. For example, when the * character is used, Elasticsearch will restore all indices of the specified snapshot. If you do not want to restore the aliases, the include_aliases...
