About the Test

This Elasticsearch test assesses candidates’ technical skills using Elasticsearch and their ability to deploy, configure, and integrate with other relevant ELK stack tools.

Elasticsearch is a distributed, open-source search and analytics engine that is designed to store, search, and analyze large volumes of data quickly and in near real-time. It is built on top of the Apache Lucene search library and uses a document-oriented data model, meaning it stores data as documents rather than as rows in a table.

Elasticsearch is highly scalable, flexible, and easy to use, making it a popular choice for a wide range of applications, including search, analytics, logging, and more.

Configuration and clustering

Configuration and clustering in Elasticsearch refers to the process of setting up and managing an Elasticsearch cluster, which is a group of nodes (servers) that work together to store, search, and analyze data. Configuration involves tasks such as setting up the nodes, assigning roles (e.g. data, master, client), and configuring the index and shard settings. Clustering involves tasks such as adding and removing nodes, balancing the load across the cluster, and monitoring the health and performance of the cluster.

Indexing and mapping data

Indexing and mapping data in Elasticsearch refers to the process of storing and organizing data in Elasticsearch in a way that makes it searchable and easy to analyze. Indexing involves creating an index, which is a logical container for data, and adding documents (data records) to the index. Mapping involves defining the structure of the documents in the index, including the data types and field names.

Integration with other common open-source tools

Integration with other common open-source tools in Elasticsearch refers to the ability of Elasticsearch to work with other open-source tools and technologies. For example, Elasticsearch can be integrated with the Logstash data processing pipeline to collect, parse, and index log data, or with the Kibana visualization tool to create interactive dashboards and charts. Elasticsearch can also be integrated with a variety of other tools and technologies, including database systems, messaging systems, and more.

APIs and extracting details through queries

APIs in Elasticsearch refer to the application programming interfaces (APIs) that are used to interact with Elasticsearch. Elasticsearch has a simple, RESTful API that allows developers to create, update, delete, and search for data in Elasticsearch using HTTP requests. Extracting details through queries in Elasticsearch refers to the process of retrieving data from Elasticsearch using search queries. Elasticsearch has a powerful query language that allows users to specify the data they want to retrieve and the search criteria they want to use.

The test is created by a subject-matter expert

Testlify’s skill tests are designed by experienced SMEs (subject matter experts). We evaluate these experts based on specific metrics such as expertise, capability, and their market reputation. Prior to being published, each skill test is peer-reviewed by other experts and then calibrated based on insights derived from a significant number of test-takers who are well-versed in that skill area. Our inherent feedback systems and built-in algorithms enable our SMEs to refine our tests continually.
