Search Exercise

• Login into your ElasticSearch sandbox
• Make sure elastic search is running:

  sudo service elasticsearch restart
  

• Populate few orders:

  curl -XPOST localhost:9200/ordering/order/2 -d '
  {"id": "2", "placedOn": "2017-01-01T00:00:00Z", "status": "pending"}'
  

  curl -XPOST localhost:9200/ordering/order/3 -d '
  {"id": "3", "placedOn": "2016-10-01T00:00:00Z", "status": "shipped"}'
  

  curl -XPOST localhost:9200/ordering/order/4 -d '
  {"id": "4", "placedOn": "2016-01-01T00:00:00Z", "status": "received"}'
  

• Confirm there are some records to search on:

  curl 'localhost:9200/ordering/order/_search?pretty=true'
  

• How many documents did you find?
• How do you know whether got all the documents or just first page of records?
• How do you find all orders that were shipped?
• What is the order of results?
• How do you sort result using arbitrary field?
• Pick couple of options and run your sort query
• Reformat your query to use query uri instead of query json
• You will be asked to present your sort findings to others...
