I would like to congratulate the authors of [Elasticsearch: The Definitive Guide](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/guide/current/index.html) (and anyone else that worked on the online version) for the quality of their documentation. The guide is clear and well-written, explaining concepts in a simple way without using too many or too few words. Images and layout are well-balanced and pleasant to the eye. This is a standard that is rarely met for documentation of software. Thank you, and keep up the good work. ---
