Elasticsearch 7.0 Cookbook - Fourth Edition

By: Alberto Paro

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. With this book, you'll be guided through comprehensive recipes on what's new in Elasticsearch 7, and see how to create and run complex queries and analytics. Packed with recipes on performing index mapping, aggregation, and scripting using Elasticsearch, this fourth edition of Elasticsearch Cookbook will get you acquainted with numerous solutions and quick techniques for performing both every day and uncommon tasks such as deploying Elasticsearch nodes, integrating other tools to Elasticsearch, and creating different visualizations. You will install Kibana to monitor a cluster and also extend it using a variety of plugins. Finally, you will 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 book, you will have gained in-depth knowledge of implementing Elasticsearch architecture, and you'll be able to manage, search, and store data efficiently and effectively using Elasticsearch.

Big Data Integration

Elasticsearch has become a common component in big data architectures, because it provides several of the following features:

  • It allows you to search on massive amounts of data in a very fast way
  • For common aggregation operations, it provides real-time analytics on big data
  • It's more easy to use an Elasticsearch aggregation than a Spark one
  • If you need to move on to a fast data solution, starting from a subset of documents after a query is faster than doing a full rescan of all your data

The most common big data software that's used for processing data is now Apache Spark (http://spark.apache.org/), which is considered the evolution of the obsolete Hadoop MapReduce for moving the processing from disk to memory.

In this chapter, we will see how to integrate Elasticsearch in Spark, both for write and read data. In the end, we will see how to use Apache...
