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.

Search APIs

For simple searches, you can use the simple query string as a URL parameter to execute the Search API. For complex queries, you can write JSON query strings using DSL in the request body. All Search APIs can be applied to multiple indices. Let's show three search examples, with one index, two indices, and all indices. The following screenshot shows how to search all documents with the cf_etf index. 314 documents are identified:

The following screenshot shows how to search all documents with two indices, the cf_etf index, and cf_view index. 316 documents are identified:

The following screenshot shows how to search all documents with all indices. 318 documents are identified:

We will first introduce the URI search and then the request body search in a separate subsection.
