elasticsearchHow do I use an example to get started with Elasticsearch?


  1. First, install Elasticsearch. You can find instructions on how to do this here.

  2. Next, you can use the following example to get started with Elasticsearch. This example will index a document, and then search for it.

# Index a document
curl -XPUT 'localhost:9200/customer/external/1?pretty' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d'
{
  "name": "John Doe"
}
'

# Search for the document
curl -XGET 'localhost:9200/customer/external/1?pretty'

The output of the search should be:

{
  "_index" : "customer",
  "_type" : "external",
  "_id" : "1",
  "_version" : 1,
  "found" : true,
  "_source" : {
    "name" : "John Doe"
  }
}
  1. The code above consists of two parts:

    • The first part uses the curl -XPUT command to index a document. This command takes the URL of the document, the content type, and the document itself as parameters.
    • The second part uses the curl -XGET command to search for the document. This command takes the URL of the document as a parameter.
  2. To learn more about how to use Elasticsearch, please refer to the official documentation.

  3. You can also find more examples and tutorials here.

  4. Finally, you can use the Elasticsearch API to explore the different operations you can perform with Elasticsearch.

  5. With this example, you should now have a basic understanding of how to get started with Elasticsearch.
