Overview of this book

Building enterprise-grade distributed applications and executing systematic search operations call for a strong understanding of Elasticsearch and expertise in using its core APIs and latest features. This book will help you master the advanced functionalities of Elasticsearch and understand how you can develop a sophisticated, real-time search engine confidently. In addition to this, you'll also learn to run machine learning jobs in Elasticsearch to speed up routine tasks. You'll get started by learning to use Elasticsearch features on Hadoop and Spark and make search results faster, thereby improving the speed of query results and enhancing the customer experience. You'll then get up to speed with performing analytics by building a metrics pipeline, defining queries, and using Kibana for intuitive visualizations that help provide decision-makers with better insights. The book will later guide you through using Logstash with examples to collect, parse, and enrich logs before indexing them in Elasticsearch. By the end of this book, you will have comprehensive knowledge of advanced topics such as Apache Spark support, machine learning using Elasticsearch and scikit-learn, and real-time analytics, along with the expertise you need to increase business productivity, perform analytics, and get the very best out of Elasticsearch.

Summary

Hurrah! We have completed looking at one of the most important features in Elasticsearch. We've learned about how to perform aggregations with well-designed examples, and delved into most of the types of aggregations. We've also learned how to use IEX ETF historical data to plot a graph of different types of moving averages, including forecasted data supported by the model.

In the next chapter, we will talk about the ingest node, in which documents can be pre-processed before the actual indexing takes place. We can define a pipeline to specify a series of processors to execute in the same order as they are declared. The ingest node intercepts bulk and index requests, applies the transformation, and then passes the documents back. By default, all nodes are enabled and we can disable the functionality of the node in the configuration file.
