Abstract

Dans cette session sans slides, nous découvrirons par la pratique ce qu’apporte le nouveau language ES|QL pour aller fouiller dans nos données indexées dans Elasticsearch et ce, de façon interactive et visuelle.

ES|QL et surtout le nouveau moteur derrière l’API _query apportent à la fois une syntaxe simplifiée permettant d’affiner vos résultats, étape par étape et ajouter de nouvelles fonctionnalités comme par exemple l’enrichissement de données et la transformation à la volée, directement dans votre requête, mais également des performances inégalées.
