Enterprise/Elastic Search Series(ESS) - Pilot

Hi All,

Enterprise Search really gained traction in recent times and also improved a lot with many open source contributors like Apache Solr, Elasticsearch and other big players.

I am working on an exciting POC to implement search within our organisation and found the underlying technologies and implementation really fascinating. I cannot wait to share all my adventures in this topic since this is a really huge topic I'll be dividing them in a series of blog posts which i named as "ESS - Enterprise Search Series", which in one way also fits Elastic in the name 😉

Here's the list of topics i plan to learn and i may update this going forward as needed:

  1. Purpose of Search and example use cases
  2. Challenges to implement Search
  3. Tools and technologies involved in modern search architecture
  4. Decipher search concepts
  5. Elasticsearch - Introduction
  6. Elasticsearch - Search concepts implementation
  7. Elasticsearch - Document operations using API's (Curl)
  8. Elasticsearch - Document operations using API's (Java)
  9. Elasticsearch - Search operations using API's (Curl)
  10. Elasticsearch - Query DSL
  11. Elasticsearch - Monitoring cluster and nodes
  12. Elasticsearch - Aggregations
  13. Elasticsearch - Tokenizers and Analyzers
  14. Elasticsearch - Case Studies

Note: If there are any Enterprise Search or Elasticsearch gurus inspecting the series please help me correct any errors or implement any better practices to the topics in my content.

Happy Learning ✌

Spring Boot - RestTemplate PATCH request fix

  In Spring Boot, you make a simple http request as below: 1. Define RestTemplate bean @Bean public RestTemplate restTemplate () { return new RestTemplate (); } 2. Autowire RestTemplate wherever you need to make Http calls @Autowire private RestTemplate restTemplate ; 3. Use auto-wired RestTemplate to make the Http call restTemplate . exchange ( "http://localhost:8080/users" , HttpMethod . POST , httpEntity , String . class ); Above setup works fine for all Http calls except PATCH. The following exception occurs if you try to make a PATCH request as above Exception: I / O error on PATCH request for \ "http://localhost:8080/users\" : Invalid HTTP method: PATCH ; nested exception is java . net . ProtocolException : Invalid HTTP method: PATCH Cause: Above exception happens because of the HttpURLConnection used by default in Spring Boot RestTemplate which is provided by the standard JDK HTTP library. More on this at this  bug Fix: This can b...

Settings.xml for Maven, JFrog

For development and deployment of applications we always use an artifactory in real-time world to host artifacts needed for your build and also as a target to deploy artifacts generated in the build process. For Maven, to communicate with artifactory we need a settings.xml file which is usually located at "/User/rake/.m2/settings.xml" this file consists of how to authenticate to the artifactory servers and authorizations to read/ write to different locations like release, snapshots e.t.c... Settings.xml can be generated using the artifactory you're using which in my case is JFrog , but here's a sample settings file for your reference incase you're feeling lazy☺ <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <settings xsi:schemaLocation= "http://maven.apache.org/SETTINGS/1.1.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/settings-1.1.0.xsd" xmlns= "http://maven.apache.org/SETTINGS/1.1.0" xmlns:xsi= "http://www.w3.org/2001/XM...

Stored Procedures in ADF

One of the common requirements for ADF programmers is to invoke Stored Procedures and Functions. Implementing this is so simple with few lines of code in Java classes used under business components. Following code snippets from fusion guide  will help execute different procedures with and without arguments. Execute stored procedure with No Arguments: public void callProcWithNoArgs() { getDBTransaction().executeCommand( "begin devguidepkg.proc_with_no_args; end;"); } Execute stored procedure with only IN arguments: Procedures often take arguments in order to process some business logic. Arguments are limited from none to many. In order to use stored procedures with argument mode we need to use JDBC PreparedStatement object. How To: Create connection Create a JDBC PreparedStatement with procedure details wrapped in a PL/SQL begin..end block. Assign the values to arguments if any. Execute the statement. Close the statement. protected void callStoredPr...
