Comapre two excel reports in ES and Kibana

This might be a good question for the ES-forum, since they do more data modeling.

But here's how I start:

  • every row is a document (ie. JSON object)
  • each column is a field (ie. JSON property)

To handle both sets, you could use two approaches:

  • store each collection of documents in a different index (so an index for sheet-old and sheet-new).
  • store in the same index, but add json-property to each document indicating to which excel-sheet it belongs.
