What are CRUD Operations?
In the world of data, CRUD is a fundamental concept. It stands for Create, Read, Update, and Delete.
These are the four basic operations you perform on data in any system, including Elasticsearch. Mastering them is key to managing your search documents effectively.
Indexing New Documents
Adding a new document to Elasticsearch is called indexing. You can index documents:
- By letting Elasticsearch generate a unique ID (using
POST). - By providing your own custom ID (using
PUT).
The document content is sent as a JSON body.
