基础概念

Elasticsearch 核心概念

• 集群（Cluster）：由一个或多个节点组成，共同存储和处理数据。集群有一个唯一的名称，默认是 elasticsearch。
• 节点（Node）：集群中的单个服务器实例，负责存储数据和执行搜索请求。
• 索引（Index）：类似于关系型数据库中的数据库概念，是文档的集合。每个索引都有自己的映射（mapping）定义文档的结构。
• 文档（Document）：Elasticsearch 中的最小数据单元，以 JSON 格式存储。每个文档都有一个唯一的标识符。
• 分片（Shard）：索引可以被分成多个分片，分布在不同的节点上，以提高性能和可扩展性。

Java 与 Elasticsearch 的交互方式

Java 通过 Elasticsearch 的官方客户端库来与 Elasticsearch 集群进行交互。主要有两种客户端： - TransportClient：早期版本常用，通过 TCP 协议与集群节点通信。但从 Elasticsearch 7.0 开始逐渐被弃用。 - RestHighLevelClient：推荐使用，基于 RESTful API，通过 HTTP 协议与集群通信，更加灵活和稳定。

使用方法

引入依赖

在 Maven 项目中，在 pom.xml 文件中添加以下依赖：

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.elasticsearch.client</groupId>
    <artifactId>elasticsearch-rest-high-level-client</artifactId>
    <version>7.17.4</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.elasticsearch</groupId>
    <artifactId>elasticsearch</artifactId>
    <version>7.17.4</version>
</dependency>

创建客户端

使用 RestHighLevelClient 创建客户端示例：

import org.apache.http.HttpHost;
import org.elasticsearch.client.RestClient;
import org.elasticsearch.client.RestHighLevelClient;

public class ElasticsearchClientExample {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        RestHighLevelClient client = new RestHighLevelClient(
                RestClient.builder(
                        new HttpHost("localhost", 9200, "http")));
        // 使用完客户端后记得关闭
        try {
            client.close();
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

索引操作

创建索引

import org.elasticsearch.action.admin.indices.create.CreateIndexRequest;
import org.elasticsearch.action.admin.indices.create.CreateIndexResponse;
import org.elasticsearch.client.RestHighLevelClient;
import org.apache.http.HttpHost;
import org.elasticsearch.client.RestClient;

import java.io.IOException;

public class CreateIndexExample {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
        RestHighLevelClient client = new RestHighLevelClient(
                RestClient.builder(
                        new HttpHost("localhost", 9200, "http")));

        CreateIndexRequest request = new CreateIndexRequest("my_index");
        CreateIndexResponse response = client.indices().create(request);
        boolean acknowledged = response.isAcknowledged();
        System.out.println("Index creation acknowledged: " + acknowledged);

        client.close();
    }
}

删除索引

import org.elasticsearch.action.admin.indices.delete.DeleteIndexRequest;
import org.elasticsearch.action.admin.indices.delete.DeleteIndexResponse;
import org.elasticsearch.client.RestHighLevelClient;
import org.apache.http.HttpHost;
import org.elasticsearch.client.RestClient;

import java.io.IOException;

public class DeleteIndexExample {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
        RestHighLevelClient client = new RestHighLevelClient(
                RestClient.builder(
                        new HttpHost("localhost", 9200, "http")));

        DeleteIndexRequest request = new DeleteIndexRequest("my_index");
        DeleteIndexResponse response = client.indices().delete(request);
        boolean acknowledged = response.isAcknowledged();
        System.out.println("Index deletion acknowledged: " + acknowledged);

        client.close();
    }

        searchRequest.source(searchSourceBuilder);

        SearchResponse searchResponse = client.search(searchRequest);
        SearchHits hits = searchResponse.getHits();
        for (SearchHit hit : hits) {
            System.out.println("Hit source: " + hit.getSourceAsString());
        }

        client.close();
    }
}

常见实践

数据索引与导入

在实际应用中，通常需要将大量数据从各种数据源（如数据库、文件系统等）导入到 Elasticsearch 中。可以使用批量索引操作来提高效率。

import org.elasticsearch.action.bulk.BulkRequest;
import org.elasticsearch.action.bulk.BulkResponse;
import org.elasticsearch.action.index.IndexRequest;
import org.elasticsearch.client.RestHighLevelClient;
import org.apache.http.HttpHost;
import org.elasticsearch.client.RestClient;
import org.elasticsearch.common.xcontent.XContentType;

import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;

public class BulkIndexExample {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
        RestHighLevelClient client = new RestHighLevelClient(
                RestClient.builder(
                        new HttpHost("localhost", 9200, "http")));

        BulkRequest bulkRequest = new BulkRequest();
        List<String> dataList = new ArrayList<>();
        dataList.add("{\"title\":\"Document 1\",\"content\":\"Content of document 1\"}");
        dataList.add("{\"title\":\"Document 2\",\"content\":\"Content of document 2\"}");

        for (int i = 0; i < dataList.size(); i++) {
            IndexRequest indexRequest = new IndexRequest("my_index")
                   .id(String.valueOf(i + 1))
                   .source(dataList.get(i), XContentType.JSON);
            bulkRequest.add(indexRequest);
        }

        BulkResponse bulkResponse = client.bulk(bulkRequest);
        if (bulkResponse.hasFailures()) {
            System.out.println("Bulk index operation has failures: " + bulkResponse.buildFailureMessage());
        } else {
            System.out.println("Bulk index operation successful");
        }

        client.close();
    }
}

复杂搜索与聚合

Elasticsearch 支持强大的搜索和聚合功能，例如多字段搜索、范围搜索、分组聚合等。

import org.elasticsearch.action.search.SearchRequest;
import org.elasticsearch.action.search.SearchResponse;
import org.elasticsearch.client.RestHighLevelClient;
import org.apache.http.HttpHost;
import org.elasticsearch.client.RestClient;
import org.elasticsearch.index.query.BoolQueryBuilder;
import org.elasticsearch.index.query.QueryBuilders;
import org.elasticsearch.search.aggregations.AggregationBuilders;
import org.elasticsearch.search.aggregations.bucket.terms.Terms;
import org.elasticsearch.search.builder.SearchSourceBuilder;

import java.io.IOException;

public class ComplexSearchAndAggregationExample {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
        RestHighLevelClient client = new RestHighLevelClient(
                RestClient.builder(
                        new HttpHost("localhost", 9200, "http")));

        SearchRequest searchRequest = new SearchRequest("my_index");
        SearchSourceBuilder searchSourceBuilder = new SearchSourceBuilder();

        BoolQueryBuilder boolQueryBuilder = QueryBuilders.boolQuery();
        boolQueryBuilder.must(QueryBuilders.matchQuery("content", "Elasticsearch"));
        boolQueryBuilder.filter(QueryBuilders.rangeQuery("timestamp").gte("2023-01-01"));
        searchSourceBuilder.query(boolQueryBuilder);

        searchSourceBuilder.aggregation(AggregationBuilders.terms("category_aggregation").field("category"));

        searchRequest.source(searchSourceBuilder);

        SearchResponse searchResponse = client.search(searchRequest);

        Terms categoryAggregation = searchResponse.getAggregations().get("category_aggregation");
        for (Terms.Bucket bucket : categoryAggregation.getBuckets()) {
            System.out.println("Category: " + bucket.getKeyAsString() + ", Count: " + bucket.getDocCount());
        }

        client.close();
    }
}

集群管理与监控

可以使用 Elasticsearch 的 API 进行集群管理，如查看集群健康状态、节点信息等。

import org.elasticsearch.action.admin.cluster.health.ClusterHealthRequest;
import org.elasticsearch.action.admin.cluster.health.ClusterHealthResponse;
import org.elasticsearch.client.RestHighLevelClient;
import org.apache.http.HttpHost;
import org.elasticsearch.client.RestClient;

import java.io.IOException;

public class ClusterHealthExample {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
        RestHighLevelClient client = new RestHighLevelClient(
                RestClient.builder(
                        new HttpHost("localhost", 9200, "http")));

        ClusterHealthRequest request = new ClusterHealthRequest();
        ClusterHealthResponse response = client.cluster().health(request);
        System.out.println("Cluster health status: " + response.getStatus());

        client.close();
    }
}

最佳实践

性能优化

• 批量操作：尽量使用批量索引和搜索操作，减少网络开销。
