Search Exercise

• Log-in into your ElasticSearch sandbox

• Make sure elastic search is running:

  sudo service elasticsearch restart

• We have covered following data-model approaches: aggregation, nested objects, and parent-child relationship

• There is likely not enough time to cover all options in a single exercise

• Pick a use case for data to map and discuss what's the best way to define mapping: simple, nested, or parent-child

• Create index using create index api:

  curl -XPUT 'localhost:9200/<index-name>?pretty=true' \
  -H 'content-type:application:json' \
  -d '
  {
  "mappings": {
    ...
  }
  }'

• Populate test data

• Come up with queries to run

• Execute and troubleshoot queries using syntax specific to your use-case: simple, nested, parent-child

• If there is time - consider alternative data-modelling and discuss pros/cons between the two

• You will be asked to present your considerations and findings
