New to Elasticsearch, need help to create an index

I'm completley new to Elasticsearch but I run a website with quoite a lot of data and just MySQL doesn't do it for me anymore.

I would love some help on how to set up my index. My site has users, each user can create as many blogs they want to. A blog has posts. Every post has a location_id. The locations table have many locations.

Every user will have a currently_in_location_id from where they were last as well as a from_location_id that tells where they are from.

The locations table will rarely change, but it will get things added. But users currently_in_location_id will change every few days.

I'm not sure how i should build the index, especially in regards to the locations as a posts location could be "Brazil", or it could be "Copenhagen, Denmark" or "Panjim, Goa, India"

Below i have tried to give an examble of how my data can look:

Any advice on how to build my index for this data is appreciated!

I think it would be best for you start with the data modeling chapter of the ES Definitive Guide.

Hope this helps,
Isabel

Thank you! I'll read through it!
