A Fuzzy Query is used to find documents that match a specified term with a certain degree of error or similarity.
Pergunta 18
What is the purpose of the 'Token Filter' in Elasticsearch?
Token Filters modify the tokens generated during the tokenization process, influencing the search and indexing process.
Pergunta 19
Explain the term 'Caching' in Elasticsearch.
Caching involves storing frequently used data to reduce the need for repeated computations, improving performance.
Pergunta 20
What is the purpose of the 'Routing' in Elasticsearch?
Routing determines which shard a document should be stored in based on a predefined value, optimizing search performance.
Pergunta 21
Explain the concept of an index in Elasticsearch.
An index in Elasticsearch is a collection of documents that share similar characteristics. It is similar to a database in relational databases.
Example:
PUT /my_index
Pergunta 22
What is a shard in Elasticsearch?
A shard is a basic unit of storage and search in Elasticsearch. Indexes are divided into shards to distribute data across multiple nodes for scalability.
Example:
PUT /my_index/_settings
{
"number_of_shards": 5
}
Pergunta 23
Explain the purpose of the term 'mapping' in Elasticsearch.
Mapping in Elasticsearch is the process of defining how a document and its fields are stored and indexed. It helps in defining the data type, analysis, and other properties.
Example:
PUT /my_index
{
"mappings": {
"properties": {
"title": { "type": "text" }
}
}
}
Pergunta 24
Explain the purpose of the 'Analyzer' in Elasticsearch.
An analyzer in Elasticsearch is responsible for processing the text during indexing and searching. It includes a tokenizer and one or more token filters.
Example:
PUT /my_index
{
"settings": {
"analysis": {
"analyzer": {
"custom_analyzer": {
"type": "custom",
"tokenizer": "standard",
"filter": ["lowercase", "my_custom_filter"]
}
}
}
}
}
Pergunta 25
What is the purpose of the 'Query DSL' in Elasticsearch?
The Query DSL (Domain Specific Language) in Elasticsearch is used to define queries in a JSON format. It allows for complex and flexible querying of data.
Example:
{
"query": {
"match": {
"field": "value"
}
}
}
Pergunta 26
Explain the 'Bulk' API in Elasticsearch.
The Bulk API in Elasticsearch allows you to index, delete, or update multiple documents in a single request for better performance. It reduces the overhead of handling individual requests.
Example:
POST /my_index/_bulk
{ "index": { "_id": "1" } }
{ "field": "value1" }
{ "delete": { "_id": "2" } }
{ "create": { "_id": "3" } }
{ "field": "value3" }
Pergunta 27
How does the 'Geo-Point' type work in Elasticsearch?
The 'Geo-Point' type in Elasticsearch is used to index and search for geographical coordinates, such as latitude and longitude. It enables spatial queries for location-based data.
Example:
PUT /my_index
{
"mappings": {
"properties": {
"location": {
"type": "geo_point"
}
}
}
}
Pergunta 28
Explain the concept of 'Refresh' in Elasticsearch.
The 'Refresh' operation in Elasticsearch makes recent changes to the index immediately visible for search. It is an important aspect for near real-time search.
Example:
POST /my_index/_refresh
Pergunta 29
Explain the concept of 'Routing' in Elasticsearch.
Routing in Elasticsearch is the process of determining which shard a document should be stored in. It is based on the document's routing value and helps distribute data evenly.
Example:
PUT /my_index/_doc/1?routing=user123
{
"field": "value"

PUT /my_index
{
"mappings": {
"properties": {
"comments": {
"type": "nested"
}
}
}
}
Pergunta 31
How does the 'Fuzzy' query work in Elasticsearch?
The 'Fuzzy' query in Elasticsearch is used to find approximate matches for a given query term. It is useful for handling typos or variations in spelling.

"fuzzy": {
"field": "value",
"fuzziness": 2
}

{
"query": {
"wildcard": {
"field": "va*lue"
}
}
}
