- Match query and its main options
- Query string query
-
Lab
- Configure sorting, pagination and select the right fields
- Using a bool query to combine different match, range and term queries
Aggregations
- Metrics aggregations: stats, cardinality, percentiles
- Why terms, cardinality and percentiles are approximate
- Multi-bucket aggregations: terms, ranges and histograms
- Nesting aggregations; how nesting works
-
Lab
- Computing the cardinality of a field
- Sorting buckets by results of sub-aggregations
- Nest the sum and histogram aggregations
Clustering Essentials
- Nodes, shards and replicas
- How replication works
- How distributed search works
- RAM and heap size
- Bootstrapping a cluster
- Cat APIs
-
Lab
- Create an index
- Verify the distribution of shards
- Add a new node to the cluster

- OpenSearch Strengths and Weaknesses
- OpenSearch CRUD Operations
- Field types and Predefined Fields
- Using and Customizing Analyzers
- Types of Queries and Aggregations
- Shards, Replicas and Clustering
Course key takeaways
After taking this course you will:
- Understand all core OpenSearch concepts – index, document, sharding, replication, mapping, search relevance, etc.
- Be able to index data into OpenSearch and retrieve it using search and realtime get APIs
- Have a solid grasp of the underlying query parsing, analysis, tokenization, and various types of queries
- Learn about a number of different types of OpenSearch aggregations
Things to remember
- Participants must use their own computer with OSX, Linux, or Windows, with a container management tool installed (Docker Desktop, Podman, nerdctl) as well as Zoom.
- Participants should be comfortable using a terminal/command line.
- Participants need a working audio and video setup for labs, which are done in groups.
Sematext provides:
- A digital copy of the training material, including slides and many sample requests
- A docker-compose.yml file for the lab environment
