How Populate Works
The populate feature in Elasticsearch operates by indexing documents. When you populate an index, you’re essentially adding documents to it. These documents contain the data that you want to make searchable and analyze. Elasticsearch automatically indexes these documents, making them readily available for search and retrieval.
Populating in Elasticsearch involves the following operations:
- Creating an Index: Setting up a structure to store related documents.
- Creating a Document: Adding data to the index in the form of documents.
- Reading a Document: Retrieving specific documents based on queries.
- Updating a Document: Modifying existing documents.
- Deleting a Document: Removing documents from the index.
Let’s explore each of these operations with practical examples.
