Just found out from the Sematext blog that Manning will be publishing an elasticsearch book > **[Elasticsearch in Action](https://www.manning.com/books/elasticsearch-in-action)** > > To understand how a modern search infrastructure works is a daunting task. Radu, Matt, and Roy make it an engaging, hands-on experience. Radu has been a great help on this mailing list, so hopefully this book will be an extension of that. O'Reilly recently cancelled their upcoming Lucene/Solr book. -- Ivan -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

Thanks, Ivan! Yes, we intend to make it a complete guide (ie: if you're a dev/ops/dba who knows nothing about Elasticsearch), and also to make it possible for one who's familiar with ES already to learn the key aspects of a feature he's particularly interested in. For example, if you've never worked with facets and you want to understand them, there will be a chapter on facets. If you want to tweak your search performance, there will be a chapter on that, as well.

Thanks to Radu and Matthew for their effort! Thanks for Ivan for getting the word out. I hope this book is more like an ES server management/administration oriented. Earlier I had a glimpse of the book "Elasticsearch Server" from PacktPub which seemed more developer oriented (to me). But I hope this book covers extensively about ES server management/tuning and stuff.

Right now, for some aspects concerning the JVM, you can already refer to material published for HBase or Cassandra, if you want tuning and performance tips. This kind of distributed JVM-based software has similar demands for resources like Elasticsearch. For example [http://hbase.apache.org/book.html#performance](http://hbase.apache.org/book.html#performance) > **[Dealing with JVM limitations in Apache Cassandra (Fosdem 2012)](https://de.slideshare.net/jbellis/dealing-with-jvm-limitations-in-apache-cassandra-fosdem-2012)** > > Dealing with JVM limitations in Apache Cassandra (Fosdem 2012) - Download as a PDF or view online for free or, Cassandra High Performance Cookbook... there are lots more sources I could mention here...

Hi Subin, Aha, it's good to know that this matters 🙂 And yes, we're trying to make the book for both devs and admins. We're going to have the whole part 4 about performance and administration. That said, I've got Rafal and Marek's book and they have a chapter 7 about administration. Just pointing it out in case you missed it.

2 weeks back I got Rafal and Marek authored 'Elasticsearch Server' from Amazon; I am really liking the book as it is providing some good insight about ES which most of the time I overlooked during online guide browsing at the site. Looking forward to explore Elasticsearch in Action as well.... regards, surya On Wednesday, July 24, 2013 8:52:20 PM UTC+5:30, Ivan Brusic wrote: > Just found out from the Sematext blog that Manning will be publishing an > elasticsearch book > > [Elasticsearch in Action](http://www.manning.com/hinman/) > > Radu has been a great help on this mailing list, so hopefully this book > will be an extension of that.
