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

Time flies so fast! We are in the middle of this book. In this chapter, we have performed the Ingest APIs and practiced most of the pipeline processors. We have also learned about data access to documents that pass through the pipeline processor. Finally, we have discussed how to handle exceptions when errors occur during pipeline processing.

In the next chapter, we will discuss how to use aggregation frameworks for exploratory data analysis. We'll give you a few examples, such as collecting metrics and log data generated by the system for operational data analytics, ingesting financial investment fund data before performing analytic operations, and performing simple sentiment analysis using Elasticsearch.
