Elasticsearch

Elasticsearch is a tool for querying written words in near real time. It is able to achieve fast search responses because it searches an index of documents instead of searching the text directly. Elasticsearch indexes documents across a cluster of nodes that can hold the entire data and provide search capabilities.

Indexing

ElasticSearch is able to achieve fast search responses because,
instead of searching the text directly, it searches an index
instead.
Cluster
A cluster is a collection of one or more nodes (servers) that together holds
your entire data and provides federated indexing and search capabilities
across all nodes.
Node
A node is a running instance of Elasticsearch
Document
Most entities or objects in most applications can be serialized into a JSON object, with keys and
values.

{
"name": "John Smith",
"age": 42,
"confirmed": true,
"join_date": "2014-06-01",
"home": {
"lat": 51.5,
"lon": 0.1
},
"accounts": [
{
"type": "facebook",
"id": "johnsmith"
},
{
"type": "twitter",
"id": "johnsmith"
}
]
}
Type
Within an index, you can define one or more types. A type is
a logical category/partition of your index whose semantics is
completely up to you. In general, a type is defined for
documents that have a set of common fields.
Index
An index is a collection of documents that have somewhat
similar characteristics. For example, you can have an index for
customer data, another index for a product catalog, and yet
another index for order data.
Shard
A single Lucene index
Automatically managed by elasticsearch
Distributed amongst all nodes in the cluster
Replica
A copy of the primary shard
Each primary shard can have zero or more replicas
Workshop
Installing Elasticsearch
curl -L -O
http://download.elasticsearch.org/PATH/TO/LATEST/$VERSIO
N.zip

unzip elasticsearch-$VERSION.zip

./bin/plugin -i elasticsearch/marvel/latest
Running Elasticsearch
Start : ./bin/elasticsearch
Test it out by opening another terminal window and running:
curl 'http://localhost:9200/?pretty
{
"status": 200,
"name": "Shrunken Bones",
"version": {
"number": "1.1.0",
"lucene_version": "4.7"
},
"tagline": "You Know, for Search"
}
Talking to Elasticsearch

Java API
Restful api with json over http

Request
A request to Elasticsearch consists of the same parts as any HTTP request.
For instance, to count the number of documents in the cluster, we could
use:


Response
Elasticsearch returns an HTTP status code like 200 OK and (except for HEAD requests) a JSON encoded response body.
The above curl request would respond with a JSON body like the following:
Indexing employee documents
Retrieving Document
Search Lite
