Elasticsearch search matches only terms defined in inverted index. So even if we are looking for only two first letters of given term, we won't be able to do it with standard match query. Instead of it we should use partial matching, provided by Elasticsearch in different forms.
Queries in Elasticsearch can be executed not only against full-text searches. They can also be filtered. And in Elasticsearch world, filters mean another operation than queries.
A subtle difference between filter and full-text search consists on scoring. It's score who distinguishes result corresponding to filter from how well result matches the query.
Nobody is perfect and my name is not nobody. Elasticsearch mapping, as mappings of another storage engines, is rarely immutable. Because of that, index changes can provoke service downtime, according to size of reindexed data. But there are a trick to avoid this dead times.
Retrieving documents in Elasticsearch shouldn't be possible without indexing. They are a intermediate layer between user and shards which store documents data.
Elasticsearch is devoted to store big amount of data. Making some operations as indexing them can be costly. It's one of the reasons Elasticsearch adopted the same features as in the most of principal RDBMS, batch operations - in Elasticsearch known as bulk operations.
Using Elasticsearch without querying is a little bit strange activity. After all, the name of this document-oriented database is composed by "search" suffix.
Elasticsearch has a powerful RESTful web service. But it's only one from available methods to connect our application to server.
Every time before starting to learn new technology, we need to appropriate its specific vocabulary. In the case of Elasticsearch, this vocabulary is mostly related to the architecture terms.
Every NoSQL solution has some basic concepts associated to it. For example, in graph databases we'll talk about nodes in different meaning than in document-oriented and clustered databases such as ElasticSearch (ElasticSearchSearch). This article will present some of concepts specific to ElasticSearch search engine.
Until then we approached 3 ways to manage hierarchical data in MySQL : adjacency, nested set and path enumeration. There remains one method which will be covered in this article, closure table, called adjacency relation too.
Previously we saw that they are already two methods, adjacency list and nested set model, to manage hierarchical data in RDBMS. But it's not all. A third method, called path enumeration, permits to handle trees on relational database too.
Another way to manipulate hierarchical data in MySQL are nested sets. This approach uses an interesting technique to represent hierarchies of data.
Unlike XML files, RDBMS (relation database management system) are the flat and non hierarchical structures. So, the developer has to make a supplementary effort to transform database data into tree structures. With this article, we inaugurate the set of articles dedicated to managing hierarchical data in RDBMS. For our example, we will use the most famous system, MySQL.
