Glad to see this. The reference documentation is pretty opaque. So far, the best resource I've found is "Exploring Elasticsearch". http://exploringelasticsearc

What version of Elasticsearch is this guide targeting? I believe there are some fundamental differences between e.g. 0.9 and 1.0 releases if I'm not mistaken.

  I haven't been able to determine when the content was last updated, but some of the comments on the site are ~8 months old, so it might be a bit out of date. That said, the basic concepts should be more-or-less unchanged.

    Looking at the guide[0] they have pages for 1.x[1] and "older versions"[2] [0] http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/ http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/ [1] http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/index.html http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/referenc...

    Hi, I'm the author. I actually just (soft) relaunched the book using a new backend, so the content's a little stale. Now that I've revamped all the formerly poor quality ebook generation I can focus on content once again. Aside from not mentioning aggregations it should be fairly accurate, and is still a useful guide for a beginner. I' hoping to revamp it to discuss aggregations over the next couple weeks. I lost most of my disqus comments, unfortunately, when I relaunched the site last week as the URL structure changed. I revamped the book to have more content per page. It's probably a little less SEO friendly, but makes for a nicer reading experience.

      Andrew, exploringelasticsearch is cool, thanks for the time & effort. Just wanted to let you know that the github audio interview link is broken (or not available publicly) since few weeks: https://soundcloud.com/andrewvc-1/github-interview-edited https://soundcloud.com/andrewvc-1/github-interview-edited I would really appreciate if you could put it back, it's really a good listen.

        Ack, soundcloud took it down when I uploaded another interview and went past their free plan. Just upgraded, it should now be available.

  Unsure if you are talking about "The Definitive Guide" from the original link, or "Exploring Elasticsearch" from the OP. If you are talking about "The Definitive Guide", it is targeted to Elasticsearch 1.0. Most of the APIs and concepts are backwards compatible, but we wanted to target 1.0 because it brings a lot of great new features.

  Hi, that's my book! It's currently a little out of date, still targeting pre-1.0 Elasticsearch. I'm working on bringing the examples up to speed soon however. The main issue with it at the moment is that it doesn't take into account the new aggregations stuff.
