Hi,
I'm new to ES and I'm start building a web application based on it.
I've read that Faces allows to filter the result of a query, but in a web
scenario after I bind the first result query to a control (let say a table)
if I want to filter it with the Facets I have to re-run my query ?
What is the common architecture use ?
I think it's not a good idea to store the result of the query in the user
session.
I just want to start with develping a simple web page to discover the power
of ES and understand how it can interact with a web application.
Thanks

Have a look at my JUG/Devoxx demo web site :

Source code is here: [GitHub - dadoonet/devoxxfr\_demo: Twitter Demo for Devoxx France (Deprecated)](https://github.com/dadoonet/devoxxfr_demo)
It could help to build your demo (or you can use it as is)

I need to develop a web application that allow a user to search.
The application will start with 10TB of data must have a realtime response.
The search engine will be so simple, at the beginning.
Imagine to have a document with these field :
- Data
- Branch code
- Article number
- Sell price
I have to give to a user a web page in which he can simply enter the value
and return all the matches document.
Do you think ES can handle this volume of data ? Millions of documents for
an initial size of 10TB.
I'm going to use .NET to develop the frontend because it's my favorite
platform (I'm evaluating to use bootstrap as your demo too).
What kind of query can better perform on ES in this scenario ?
Facets can be return together with the main query and applied in a second
time on the client ?
I've seen that your example is developed in Javascript, it could be
difficult to build something like that with a server-side technology like
[Asp.NET](http://Asp.NET) ?
Thanks a lot!

I would say: "it depends!" 😉
On my laptop, I built a demo with 1,3 m docs (more than 100 fields) with 5
facets (Terms, Range, Date histogram).
When computing on the full dataset, I get results in about 8-10 seconds.
When adding a query on top of it (and reduce my data set to 100k docs), I get
results in less than a second.
On a Laptop and with only 1,5 Gb allocated to the JVM ! It was just amazing.
With a real server (64 Gb RAM with 32 Gb for ES), you will get really better
performance and you will be able to handle more documents 😉
Yes, you can build your application from every langage as everything is standard
in Elasticsearch (REST API)...
HTH

Ok! It's seem to be wonderful!
If I'm not boring you I want to understand the main architecture, I'm going
to build something like this :
- [Asp.NET](http://Asp.NET) Frontend
- I build a request for ES and get the result (maybe using NEST and not
JSon directly)
- Bind the result to the user on table, charts and so on
It's a good way for ES or there are some "best practices" ?
With this type of data :
- Datetime
- Branch code
- Article number
- Sell price
How can Facets improve the user experience ?
I'm reading about that but I can't really understand what facets filter,
facets histogram and so on can help me in developing this.
Really, really thanks!

Sounds good to me.
With facets, you can help the user click on it and filter then the first results
(and digg into your documents). If you click on facets on my demo, you will see
this in action.
A common use case is the commerce web site. You should read this wonderful post
from Karel (aka Karmi)

I learned everything about facets from this article.
For your data, it depends on what you want to show to your users.
That said, I think that Date Histogram will be useful for your Datetime values,
Term Facet for your Branch code, Range facet for Sell price.
I don't understand what are article numbers or if I understood well (it's a
unique number/id ?), I can't see a facet for it.
Does it help?
David.

Hi,
really really interesting!
Now I have understood what Facets are...cool!
So each time user ask for a particolar Facets this would be a call to ES ?
Facets can work on the over data set and returned indepently by the current
query ?
Really thanks a lot!
