WIP: Elasticsearch bootcamp

Wei-Meng Lee requested to merge weimeng-master-patch-91107 into master

I've just started to learn more about the internals of Elasticsearch. What better way to consolidate my learnings than by creating a bootcamp?

I want to make this a little different from the other bootcamps by:

  1. Providing some basic theory without going into spoon feeding territory -- at least enough vocabulary to enable you to search for more documentation or help
  2. A mini cheatsheet with some common ways/commands to debug issues
  3. Links to past tickets with learnings and hopefully some kind of reproduction environment where people going through the bootcamp can work through problems on their own

A bit ambitious, but I'll give it a shot!


Goal: To equip you with a basic understanding of Elasticsearch, how GitLab uses it and how to debug customer issues.

Objectives: At the end of this bootcamp, you should be able to:

  • Have a basic understanding of how Elasticsearch works
  • Understand how GitLab's Elasticsearch integration works under the hood
  • Make progress debugging customer issues
