Elastic Load Optimization Strategies 📖

Loading data into Elasticsearch can sometimes lead to performance issues, such as slow data loads or loads that fail to complete. The Elastic Load Optimization Strategies guide outlines actionable steps to help improve the performance and reliability of Elasticsearch loads.

Key Elastic load optimization strategies:

1. Shard Count Analysis
   1. Shards dictate parallelism in Elasticsearch. Adjusting the number of shards for a Document ensures efficient node utilization during loads.
2. Spark Settings
   • Optimize Spark job cores based on Elasticsearch node capacity to enhance indexing performance.
3. Identifying the Problematic Index
   • Pinpoint specific indices causing issues, such as those related to search or a single Entity, for focused troubleshooting.
4. Compounds Table Analysis
   • Analyze the Compounds/DocumentIndexInput.parquet table to uncover further optimization opportunities when issues persist.
5. Compound Partitioning
   • Address large file sizes by repartitioning the compound table during the creation step.
