1.What is JSON in elasticsearch?

JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight, text-based data interchange format that is widely
used in Elasticsearch for storing and retrieving data. In Elasticsearch, JSON is used to represent:

1. Documents: JSON objects that contain the data stored in an index.

2. Index settings: JSON objects that define index configuration, such as mappings and settings.

3. Search queries: JSON objects that specify search criteria and parameters.

4. Search results: JSON objects that contain the results of a search query.

5. Aggregations: JSON objects that define aggregation configurations and results.

Elasticsearch uses JSON to store and retrieve data because it is:

1. Human-readable

2. Easy to parse and generate

3. Platform-independent

4. Language-independent

5. Schema-less ( flexible )

JSON is used extensively in Elasticsearch APIs, such as:

1. Index API: Creates and manages indices.

2. Document API: Creates, updates, and deletes documents.

3. Search API: Searches and retrieves documents.

4. Aggregations API: Performs aggregations on search results.

In summary, JSON is the primary data format used in Elasticsearch for storing, retrieving, and
manipulating data.
2.What is REST API in elasticsearch?

REST (Representational State of Resource) API in Elasticsearch is an application programming interface


that allows developers to interact with Elasticsearch using HTTP requests. It provides a way to access
and manipulate data in Elasticsearch using standard HTTP methods such as:

1. GET: Retrieve data

2. POST: Create or update data

3. PUT: Update data

4. DELETE: Delete data

The REST API in Elasticsearch is used to perform various operations such as:

1. Index management: Create, delete, and manage indices

2. Document management: Create, update, and delete documents

3. Search: Perform search queries

4. Aggregations: Perform aggregations on search results

5. Cluster management: Monitor and manage the Elasticsearch cluster

The REST API in Elasticsearch is accessible through a specific endpoint, typically:

http://localhost:9200/

Some examples of REST API endpoints in Elasticsearch include:

1. GET /_search: Perform a search query

2. POST /myindex/mytype: Create a new document in the "myindex" index with the "mytype" type

3. GET /myindex/mytype/_search: Perform a search query on the "mytype" type in the "myindex" index

4. DELETE /myindex: Delete the "myindex" index

The REST API in Elasticsearch is widely used for various purposes such as:

1. Integrating Elasticsearch with other applications

2. Building custom applications on top of Elasticsearch

3. Automating tasks using scripts and tools

4. Monitoring and managing the Elasticsearch cluster


Overall, the REST API in Elasticsearch provides a flexible and powerful way to interact with Elasticsearch
data and functionality.

3.Restful API in elasticsearch?

Yes, Elasticsearch provides a RESTful API (Application Programming Interface) that allows developers to
interact with Elasticsearch using HTTP requests. The RESTful API in Elasticsearch is used to perform
various operations such as:

1. Index management: Create, delete, and manage indices

2. Document management: Create, update, and delete documents

3. Search: Perform search queries

4. Aggregations: Perform aggregations on search results

5. Cluster management: Monitor and manage the Elasticsearch cluster

The RESTful API in Elasticsearch follows the REST (Representational State of Resource) architectural
style, which is based on the idea of resources, verbs, and URIs.

Here are some examples of RESTful API endpoints in Elasticsearch:

1. Index APIs

- GET /_index: Get index settings

- POST /_index: Create an index

- DELETE /_index: Delete an index

2. Document APIs

- GET /_doc: Get a document

- POST /_doc: Create a document

- PUT /_doc: Update a document

- DELETE /_doc: Delete a document

3. Search APIs

- GET /_search: Perform a search query

- POST /_search: Perform a search query with a request body

4. Aggregation APIs
- GET /_aggs: Perform an aggregation query

- POST /_aggs: Perform an aggregation query with a request body

These are just a few examples of the many RESTful API endpoints available in Elasticsearch. The RESTful
API is a powerful way to interact with Elasticsearch and can be used to build custom applications,
integrate with other systems, and automate tasks.

4.What is yml file in elasticsearch?

In Elasticsearch, a YAML (YAML Ain't Markup Language) file is a configuration file that contains settings
and properties for Elasticsearch components, such as:

1. Index settings (e.g., index name, mappings, settings)

2. Node settings (e.g., node name, cluster name, network settings)

3. Cluster settings (e.g., cluster name, discovery settings)

4. Plugin settings (e.g., plugin configuration)

YAML files are used to configure Elasticsearch components in a human-readable format. They are often
used to:

1. Create and manage indices

2. Configure node and cluster settings

3. Define mappings and analysis settings

4. Configure plugins and modules

Some common YAML files in Elasticsearch include:

1. elasticsearch.yml: Main configuration file for Elasticsearch

2. log4j2.yml: Logging configuration file

3. index templates: Define default settings for new indices

4. plugin.yml: Plugin configuration file

YAML files are typically located in the config directory of the Elasticsearch installation.

Here's an example of a simple elasticsearch.yml file:

cluster.name: my_cluster

node.name: my_node
index.number_of_shards: 5

index.number_of_replicas: 2

This file sets the cluster name, node name, and default index settings for the number of shards and
replicas.

Note that YAML files can be used in conjunction with the RESTful API and other configuration
mechanisms to manage Elasticsearch configurations.

5.What is HTTP protocol in elasticsearch?

HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) is a protocol used for transferring data, including requests and
responses, between clients and servers. In Elasticsearch, HTTP is used as the primary protocol for
communicating with the cluster.

Elasticsearch exposes a RESTful API (Representational State of Resource) over HTTP, allowing clients to
interact with the cluster using standard HTTP methods such as:

1. GET: Retrieve data

2. POST: Create or update data

3. PUT: Update data

4. DELETE: Delete data

HTTP requests to Elasticsearch typically include:

1. URL (Uniform Resource Locator): Specifies the resource or endpoint

2. Method (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, etc.): Specifies the action

3. Headers: Provide metadata, such as content type and authentication

4. Body (optional): Contains data or query parameters

Some examples of HTTP requests in Elasticsearch include:

1. GET /_search: Perform a search query

2. POST /myindex/mytype: Create a new document in the "myindex" index with the "mytype" type

3. PUT /myindex/mytype/1: Update the document with ID 1 in the "myindex" index

4. DELETE /myindex: Delete the "myindex" index

Elasticsearch supports multiple HTTP protocols, including:


1. HTTP/1.1

2. HTTP/2

3. HTTPS (HTTP over SSL/TLS)

Using HTTP, clients can interact with Elasticsearch from various programming languages, tools, and
applications, making it a widely adopted and flexible search and analytics platform.

6.What is CURD operations in elasticsearch?

CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations in Elasticsearch refer to the basic actions that can be
performed on data stored in an Elasticsearch index. These operations are:

1. Create (C): Add a new document to an index.

- Example: POST /myindex/mytype with a JSON document in the request body.

2. Read (R): Retrieve a document from an index.

- Example: GET /myindex/mytype/1 to retrieve the document with ID 1.

3. Update (U): Modify an existing document in an index.

- Example: PUT /myindex/mytype/1 with a JSON document in the request body.

4. Delete (D): Remove a document from an index.

- Example: DELETE /myindex/mytype/1 to delete the document with ID 1.

Additionally, Elasticsearch also supports other operations like:

- Search: Perform a search query on an index.

- Index: Create or update an index.

- Delete Index: Delete an entire index.

- Bulk: Perform multiple CRUD operations in a single request.

These CRUD operations can be performed using the Elasticsearch RESTful API, which provides a simple
and intuitive way to interact with data in Elasticsearch.
7.What is ingest pipeline in elasticsearch?

An ingest pipeline in Elasticsearch is a way to process and transform data before indexing it into
Elasticsearch. It's a series of processors that run in sequence to extract, transform, and load data into
Elasticsearch.

Ingest pipelines are used to:

1. Extract data from various sources (e.g., logs, databases, files)

2. Transform data into a format suitable for Elasticsearch (e.g., JSON)

3. Enrich data with additional metadata or fields

4. Filter out unwanted data

5. Route data to specific indices or tables

An ingest pipeline consists of:

1. Input: Data source (e.g., file, database, log)

2. Processors: Sequence of transformations (e.g., grok, json, split)

3. Output: Elasticsearch index or table

Some common processors used in ingest pipelines include:

1. Grok: Parses and extracts data from logs

2. JSON: Parses and extracts data from JSON documents

3. Split: Splits data into multiple documents

4. Enrich: Adds additional metadata or fields

5. Filter: Removes unwanted data

Ingest pipelines are useful for:

1. Data integration: Combine data from multiple sources

2. Data transformation: Convert data into a suitable format

3. Data quality: Cleanse and filter out unwanted data

4. Data security: Mask or remove sensitive data

Ingest pipelines can be created and managed using the Elasticsearch RESTful API or Kibana.
