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...

RADUS#4 - Caching the response in REST API's

  Caching in spring boot app: Caching can be used to provide a performance boost to your application users by avoiding the business logic processing involved again and again, load on your DB, requests to external systems if the users request data that's not changed frequently Different types of caching: We'll be focusing more on in-memory caching in this post i listed other options available to have an idea. In-memory caching You'll have a key-value data stores that stores the response of the request after it is served for the first time There are multiple systems like Redis, Memcached that do this distributed caching very well By default Spring provides concurrent hashmap as default cache, but you can override CacheManager to register external cache providers. Database caching Web server caching Dependencies needed: Maven < dependency > < groupId > org . springframework . boot </ groupId > < artifactId > spring - boot - starter - cache ...

Set BIND VARIABLE and EXECUTE QUERY programmatically in ADF

A very common scenario in ADF is to set a bind variable and execute query programmatically within AMImpl/ VOImpl classes. Here's a simple way to do this: To set bind variable for all rowsets:       ViewObjectImpl someVO = this.getSomeViewObject();       VariableValueManager vMngr = someVO.ensureVariableManager();        vMngr.setVariableValue("DefinedBindVariable",value);        someVO,executeQuery(); To set bind variable for default rowset:          ViewObjectImpl someVO = this.getSomeViewObject();          someVO.setNamedWhereClauseParam("DefinedBindVariable",value);          someVO,executeQuery();
