Elasticsearch - Indices

By -
Indices are containers for mapping types. An Elasticsearch index is an independent
chunk of documents, much like a database is in the relational world: each index is
stored on the disk in the same set of files; it stores all the fields from all the mapping
types in there, and it has its own settings. For example, each index has a setting called
refresh_interval, which defines the interval at which newly indexed documents are
made available for searches. This refresh operation is quite expensive in terms of per-
formance, and this is why it’s done occasionally—by default, every second—instead of
doing it after each indexed document. If you’ve read that Elasticsearch is near-real-time,
this refresh process is what it refers to.
TIP Just as you can search across types, you can search across indices. This
gives you flexibility in the way you can organize documents. For example, you
can put your get-together events and the blog posts about them in different
indices or in different types of the same index. Some ways are more efficient
than others, depending on your use case.
One example of index-specific settings is the number of shards. An index can be made up of one or more chunks called shards. This is good for
scalability: you can run Elasticsearch on multiple servers and have shards of the
same index live on all of them. Next, we’ll take a closer look at how sharding works
in Elasticsearch.

Spring Elasticsearch Operations

By -
Elasticsearch Operations Spring Data Elasticsearch uses two interfaces to define the operations that can be called against an Elasticsearch index. These are ElasticsearchOperations and ReactiveElasticsearchOperations. Whereas the first is used with the classic synchronous implementations, the second one uses reactive infrastructure. The default implementations of the interfaces offer: Read/Write mapping support for domain types. A rich query and criteria api. Resource management and Exception translation. ElasticsearchTemplate The ElasticsearchTemplate is an implementation of the ElasticsearchOperations interface using the Transport Client. @Configuration public class TransportClientConfig extends ElasticsearchConfigurationSupport {   @Bean   public Client elasticsearchClient() throws UnknownHostException {                      Settings settings = Settings.builder().put("cluster.name", "elasticsearch")....

Hibernate Search - Elasticsearch with JSON manipulation

By -
Elasticsearch with JSON manipulation Elasticsearch ships with many features. It is possible that at some point, one feature you need will not be exposed by the Search DSL. To work around such limitations, Hibernate Search provides ways to: Transform the HTTP request sent to Elasticsearch for search queries. Read the raw JSON of the HTTP response received from Elasticsearch for search queries. Direct changes to the HTTP request may conflict with Hibernate Search features and be supported differently by different versions of Elasticsearch. Similarly, the content of the HTTP response may change depending on the version of Elasticsearch, depending on which Hibernate Search features are used, and even depending on how Hibernate Search features are implemented. Thus, features relying on direct access to HTTP requests or responses cannot be guaranteed to continue to work when upgrading Hibernate Search, even for micro upgrades (x.y.z to x.y.(z+1)). Use this at your own risk....
