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.

Running Elasticsearch in a Docker container

On our GitHub site (https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Mastering-Elasticsearch-7.0/tree/master/Chapter13/docker_run), you can download a set of bash script files to run the application including docker_create_network, docker_run_elasticsearch, docker_run_kibana, docker_run_logstash, docker_run_filebeat, and a folder named pipeline, which contains the logstash.conf Logstash configuration file. Use the bash script file to launch an Elasticsearch server in development mode with the Elasticsearch Docker image by running the following command. However, previously you run the following command, shut down the original Elasticsearch server installed before and go to the docker_run folder:

$cd docker_run
$./docker_run_elasticsearch

You can check the status of the Elasticsearch Docker container to see whether it is running by using the list command...
