The ingest node is used to transform the document before indexing it in Elasticsearch. Basically, an ingest node pre-process the document before the indexing occurs. Such operations like rename a field name, add or remove a field from a document are handled by the ingest node.

X-pack comes with the SQL features that provide SQL access in Elasticsearch to execute the queries. This SQL support feature has been introduced in Elasticsearch 6.3.
Basically, X-pack is an Elastic Stack extension with SQL features, which helps the users to execute the SQL queries against Elasticsearch. The SQL queries execute in a real-time environment and return the result in tabular form.

No, we cannot perform a write operation on frozen indices because frozen indices are read-only indices. These indices are searchable, but we cannot write on them without unfreezing. However, without unfreezing the frozen indices, we can include them in our searches.

On each operating system, a different type of file is required to be downloaded.
For example -
* On Windows operating system, zip file needs to be download. Similarly,
* On Linux operating system, download tar.gz file of Elasticsearch setup
* On Mac Operating system, download tar.gz file of Elasticsearch setup
* For Ubuntu-based system or Debian, download the deb package

The from and size components are used in pagination. They help to divide a large amount of data into several pages, where from is the initial point to start a search and size defines the number of items to be searched.
For example, - If there are 30 items calculated, but we want 15 items first and then remaining.
So, the first time from will be 0 and the size will be 14. Next time from will be 15 and the size will be 29.

In Elasticsearch, a type represents a class of similar documents. A type could be like student, customer, or item. A document type can be seen as the document schema/mapping, which has a mapping of all the fields in the document along with its data type.

Elasticsearch provides a query DSL(Domain Specific Language) on the basis of JSON for defining the queries. Query DSL contains two kinds of clauses:
1) Leaf Query Clauses
Leaf Query Clauses search for a specific value in a specific field, like the term, range, or match queries.
2) Compound Query Clauses
Compound Query Clauses enclose other compound or leaf queries, and we use them for logically combining queries.

A Filter is all about implementing some conditions in the query to reduce the matching result set. When we use a query in Elasticsearch, the query computes a relevance score for matching the documents. But in some situations, we don’t need relevance scores when the document falls in the range of two provided timestamps.
So, for this yes/no criteria, we use Filters. We use Filters for matching particular criteria, and they are cacheable to allow faster execution. The Token filters receive a flow of tokens from a tokenizer, and they can change, add, and delete the tokens.

The process of storing data in an index is called indexing in ElasticSearch. Data in ElasticSearch can be divided into write-once and read-many segments. Whenever an update is attempted, a new version of the document is written to the index.

A document is similar to a row in relational databases. The difference is that each document in an index can have a different structure (fields), but should have the same data type for common fields.Each field can occur multiple times in a document with different data types. Fields can contain other documents too.

Elasticsearch allows the users to search and fetch the documents from the database in two ways. We can use one of them accordingly -
* By sending a GET request having a string parameter with a query, or
* By sending a POST request which has a query in request body.
Along with the request method, we have to use a __search API to search the documents in database. Here GET and POST are request methods. Elasticsearch allows the users to search the documents as single or in bulk too.

Full-text queries analyze the query string before executing it whereas term-level queries operate on the exact terms stored in the inverted index without analyzing.
The full-text queries are commonly used to run queries on full-text fields like the body of an email whereas term level queries are used for structured data like numbers, dates, and enums, rather than full-text fields.
Posted Date:- 2021-10-06 05:51:51
Queries are categorized into two types: Full Text/Match Queries and Term-based Queries.
Text Queries include basic match, match phrase, common terms, query-string, multi-match, match phrase prefix, simple query string.
Term Queries include term exists, type, wildcard, regexp term set, range, prefix, ids, and fuzzy.

Character filter in Elasticsearch analyzer is not mandatory. These filters manipulate the input stream of the string by replacing the token of text with corresponding value mapped to the key.
We can use mapping character filters that use parameters as mappings and mappings_path. The mappings are the files that contain an array of key and corresponding values listed, whereas mappings_path is the path that is registered in the config directory that shows the mappings file present.

Master node functionality revolves around actions across the cluster such as the creation of index/indices, deletion of index/indices, monitor or keeps an account of those nodes that form a cluster. These nodes also decide shards allocation to specific nodes resulting in stable Elasticsearch cluster health.
Whereas, Master – eligible nodes are those nodes that get elected to become Master Node.

Multi-document API is a document API, which further has few more APIs. Multi-document APIs are basically used to perform queries across multiple documents. Simply says that - it allows the users to perform the operation in bulk like fetch or update multiple documents using a single query.
It is further classified and has the following APIs for bulk operations -
* Bulk API
* Multi Get API
* Delete By Query API
* Update By Query API
* Reindex API

Your clusters and/or shards are considered balanced when they have an equal number of shards across each node, thankfully Elasticsearch will run an automatic process of rebalancing shards which moves shards between the nodes that make up your cluster in order to improve its performance. You may need to take manual action if your configurations for forced awareness or allocation filtering clashes with Elasticsearch's attempts to automatically rebalance shards.

Reindexing your Elasticsearch index is mainly required in the event that you wish to update mapping or settings associated with your current index. Reindexing means that you are copying preexisting data from an index that already exists to a new destination index. The command endpoint _reindex can be used for this purpose.

Journalbeat is one of the most recent additions to the Beats family. This particular Beat is used to collect log entries from Systemd Journals. As with the other Beats, Journalbeat is based on the libbeat framework. Journalbeat is rated as being easier to use than more commonly known Beats for collecting Systemd Journal logs (such as Filebeat) but is regarded as an experimental Beat so may be subject to change.

Metricbeat is a metrics shipper built on the Libbeat framework. It originated from Topbeat (which has now been deprecated) and is primarily used for collecting metrics prior to their enrichment within Logstash for further processing within Elasticsearch & Kibana. Some users of Metricbeat may not wish to automatically push their metrics data to Logstash, in this instance they would likely use a service (for example Kafka or Redis) to buffer the data.

Filebeat is the leading choice for forwarding logs to the Elastic Stack due to its reliability & minimal memory footprint. Filebeat was originally written in the Go programming language and its features originated from a combination of the best attributes of Logstash-Forwarder & Lumberjack. Additionally, when Filebeat is part of the logging pipeline it can generate and parse common logs to be indexed within Elasticsearch. You may often see Filebeat mentioned alongside Logstash as the two are used in tandem with each other for the majority of logging use cases.
