Where in the World is Elastic: RedHat Summit Boston & DevOps Days Amsterdam

Learn how DHL Supply Chain, global leader serving over 220 countries in the logistics industry, has experienced success with Shield, security for Elasticsearch.

<html><head></head><body><p>At Elastic, one of our greatest pleasures is learning and sharing how our customers are utilizing our software to achieve various organizational and personal goals.&#xA0;
</p><p>Earlier this year we released&#xA0;<a href="https://www.elastic.co/products/shield">Shield</a>&#xA0;to make&#xA0;it super&#xA0;easy for anyone to add security to their Elasticsearch deployment (try it for yourself with&#xA0;<a href="https://www.elastic.co/downloads/shield">these five simple steps</a>).&#xA0;
</p><p><img 0="" src="https://api.contentstack.io/v2/assets/575e4c7643e9adc538713704/download?uid=blt247541abb6a863dd?uid=blt247541abb6a863dd" data-sys-asset-uid="blt26c9ae90bf481d12" alt="" "="" padding:0="" 10px="" 10px;"width:="" 220px;="" height:="" 50.925925925925924px;"="" redactor"="" style="float: right; padding: 0px 0px 5px 5px; width: 230px; height: 59.0296052631579px;">
</p><p>Today, we are excited to share how DHL Supply Chain, a global leader in the logistics industry, has experienced success with Shield. DHL Supply Chain offers a variety of supply chain services in over 220 countries, including assembly and packaging, warehousing, and transportation.
</p><p><span style="line-height: 22.3999996185303px;"></span>In order to provide customers visibility across their supply chain, DHL integrates its Warehouse Management and Transportation Management System with its customers&#x2019; ERP systems. The messages that pass through DHL LINK, DHL&apos;s integration layer, are indexed in Elasticsearch, allowing&#xA0;DHL&#x2019;s customers&#xA0;to search through&#xA0;multiple terabytes of data to find the latest status of a specific EDI order message using a PO number or other reference to see that it has been sent successfully to the customer (e.g. the status of the EDI message is &#x201C;sent&#x201D;).
</p><div>
	<p>As a large&#xA0;organisation managing sensitive data, security is a must-have for DHL. They initially planned to install, configure, and manage a reverse proxy to protect their Elasticsearch cluster, but quickly observed the operational overhead and were afraid of a false sense of security &#x2013; how do you verify it works?&#xA0;
	</p>
	<p>They decided&#xA0;it made more sense to use a tool that is fully-documented and tightly integrated with Elasticsearch. As a result, they deployed Shield to protect their data and prevent unauthorized access by configuring user authentication and encryption for all Elasticsearch network traffic.

	<p><br>My name is Oliver Cruickshank and&#xA0;I&#x2019;m Head of Integration Architecture for DHL Supply Chain. Efficient B2B communication with our customers is critical to the success of DHL Supply Chain and visibility of data is key to this. The integration platform processes 1 billion messages annually so all components need to scale well.

	<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.2;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:12pt;"><strong>OC:&#xA0;</strong>Our previous visibility solution was slow to return data to users and frequently timed out. We needed a solution that could easily parse the hundreds of EDI data formats and index the results. Elastic fitted the requirements well and was very easy to run a PoC for.
	</p>
	<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.2;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:12pt;"><strong>FM:&#xA0;</strong>Elasticsearch has been proposed as a tool that can fulfill requirements for visibility into the integration layer. After installing and trying Elasticsearch, we knew this is the way to go.

	<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.2;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:12pt;"><strong>OC</strong>:&#xA0;Within DHL the security of our customer&#x2019;s data is very important to us as such it was critical for us to secure all access to the data. Shield met our requirements for access control and encryption.
	</p>
	<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.2;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:12pt;"><strong>FM</strong>:&#xA0;During the initial analysis of how to use and secure Elasticsearch, we were told that Shield is coming. After using Elasticsearch for a couple of months, Shield was released. We did not hesitate and tried it straight away.<br>

	<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.2;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:12pt;"><strong>OC:&#xA0;</strong>After struggling with horizontal scalability in our traditional RDBMS for a long time, adding additional nodes to the existing Elastic cluster was incredibly easy &#x2013; the data automatically balanced itself across the available nodes and CPU load was spread evenly.

Another thing I would point out is the level of configuration for Elasticsearch service. Every tiny bit of functionality can be adjusted. On the other hand, fine tuning might take some time to meet needs of particular application.</span><br>

Where in the World Is Elasticsearch? - August 25, 2014

<p>
	Elasticsearchers are back, fully tanked up with sun and energy, and ready for some conferences and meetups this week. We hope you all had a lovely summer break, too!
</p><p>
	Before we get to the events, we would first like to congratulate our #ELKsintheWild competition winner, <a href="https://twitter.com/rickymoorhouse">Ricky Moorhouse</a>. For those who missed the competition, here's a short recap: everybody in possession of one of our cute plushy ELKs could take part by taking a picture during the summer holidays and sharing it via Twitter tagging #ELKsintheWild. The best picture wins an Elasticsearch surprise.
</p><p>
	Thank you Ricky for participating and sharing that very sweet Tweet with us. Expect an Elasticsearch package in your mailbox soon! :)
</p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en">

<p>
	<strong>1.</strong> You have a plushy ELK? Take it with you, take a fun holiday picture and <a href="https://twitter.com/elasticsearch">tweet</a> about it using the #ELKsIntheWild hashtag. Our top 3 will get some awesome swag sent over, so the competition is on!<br>
	<strong>2.</strong> Bored on your sun chair? Just scan through our <a href="http://www.elasticsearch.org/videos/">website</a> and have a look at one or the other cool video on there. :)
</p>
<p>
	That&apos;s it for this week, and stay tuned for Elasticsearch happenings next week. We hope to see you at one of our events.

Where in the World Is Elasticsearch - July 14, 2014

<html><head></head><body><p><em>This is a guest post from <a href="https://twitter.com/crissantamarina">Cristina Santamarina</a> , co-organizer of the Elasticsearch Berlin User Group and part of Asquera&apos;s community organization.</em>
</p>
<p>The Elasticsearch community in Berlin has been busy with all sorts of events over the past few weeks - and there is much more to come! In case you haven&#x2019;t been following the news at <a href="#https://twitter.com/elasticberlin&quot;">@elasticberlin</a> lately or you haven&#x2019;t joined our <a>meetup group</a> - yet :) - here&#x2019;s a brief summary of past and future activities.
</p>
<h2>Elasticsearch Hackfest</h2>
<p>On May 28th, we held an Elasticsearch Hackfest, organised and coached by Asquera and Elasticsearch as part of Berlin Buzzwords&#x2019; Hackathon day.
</p>
<p>Around 60 people got together to learn more about Elasticsearch and work on cool projects. The teams worked on small, fun to build apps that sent users notifications using the Percolator, made movie recommendations based on other movies you like using Elasticsearch or helped German newbies to determine a word gender with Logstash.
</p>
<p>The Elasticsearch Hackfest was great for developers new to Elasticsearch, as they got to learn in a more hands-on environment. For more seasoned Elasticsearch users, it was a great chance to play around with all the newest bits and to chat with other members of the community and with the Elasticsearch team members. Most of the European Union-based employees of Elasticsearch journeyed to Berlin for Buzzwords and joined the hackathon - thanks for being so helpful and accessible!

<h2>Elasticsearch User Group</h2>
<p>The Berlin Elasticsearch User Group, organised by Asquera, takes place the last Tuesday of every month. While we changed our May meeting to a hackfest, we went back to our regular schedule at the end of June. And we&#x2019;ll see you in July, as well!
</p>
<p>In June, we continued our tradition of hosting a beginners workshop and a more advanced talk. This time, Jilles Van Gurp told us about how they take advantage of the ELK stack (Elasticsearch + Logstash + Kibana) at his company, Linko.
</p>

	</iframe>
</div>
<p>&#xA0;</p>
<div style="margin-bottom:5px">
	<p>In July, Hannes Korte will speak about the configuration settings of Elasticsearch - a topic that we think will be interesting for both masters and newbies. If you are in Berlin, drop by the co.up coworking space next Tuesday, 29th July from 19h!
	</p>
	<h2>Elasticsearch ELK Hackathon</h2>
	<p>On July 14th, Florian Gilcher will lead our second summer Hackathon. This time we&#x2019;ll get together at the <a href="http://info.thoughtworks.com/Berlin">ThoughtWorks Werkstatt</a>. If you are in Berlin or coming by for <a href="http://toaberlin.com/">Tech Open Air</a>, book your seat for this hacking day via the Berlin User Group <a href="http://www.meetup.com/Elasticsearch-UG-Berlin/events/193037192/">meetup page</a>. Hurry up, though! Space is limited and the last time we organized a day of hacking, we ended up with a long wait list.
	</p>
	<h2>Let&apos;s talk Python and Elasticsearch!</h2>
	<p>Buzzwords and Elasticsearch; Tech Open Air and Elasticsearch&#x2026; big events are the perfect excuse to hack! On July 24th, we have another great excuse to get together - the <a href="https://ep2014.europython.eu/en/">EuroPython Conference</a>.
	</p>
	<p>We&#x2019;ll dive deeper on the elasticsearch-dsl, the Elasticsearch client for Python, and host a talk by <a href="https://twitter.com/HonzaKral">Honza Kr&#xE1;l</a>, who will be visiting us from Prague. EuroPython is huge (they expect around 1200 Python developers to attend!) so the venue is also a huge one: we&#x2019;ll have this extraordinary meetup at the Berlin Congress Center. You can see all the details and sign up <a href="http://www.meetup.com/Elasticsearch-UG-Berlin/events/193461632/">here</a>.
	</p>
	<p>We&#x2019;ll be back with more Elasticsearch in Berlin news by the end of the summer, but hopefully we&#x2019;ll get to hear or see from you before that at any of our planned events. In the meantime, to wrap up, join us in sending a big <strong><em>thank you</em></strong> to the entire Elasticsearch crowd, our event co-organizers, and all the speakers, coaches and attendees that make Elasticsearch get togethers possible and enriching!

Where in the World is Elasticsearch? - June 07, 2014

<html><head></head><body><p>Last week was all about<a href="http://berlinbuzzwords.de"> Berlin Buzzwords</a> - the EU startup hub&apos;s most exciting conference on storing, processing and searching large amounts of digital data. Over 600 attendees from every continent save Antarctica, with visitors from Chile, India, Korea, South Africa and the US. Among these, a total of 15 Elasticsearchers were onsite to share the love and spread knowledge about our products and contributions to the open source community.

Facebook & Elasticsearch: for Your Holiday Viewing Pleasure

<html><head></head><body><h1>Elasticsearch&apos;s Second Company All Hands</h1>
<p>This post was co-authored with <a href="http://twitter.com/kimchy">Shay Banon</a>.
</p>
<p><img src="https://api.contentstack.io/v2/assets/575e4cbbd8edd48f769365a1/download?uid=blt214478aece4105b1?uid=blt214478aece4105b1" data-sys-asset-uid="bltd3c77b7d9ea83860" alt="Kicking Off Our Week in Amsterdam" width="300" height="200" style="float:right; padding:0 0 20px 20px;">Last week, the Elasticsearch crew all converged on our EU headquarters in Amsterdam, The Netherlands for five days of collaboration, hacking and community outreach. This meeting was the first time most of us had met in person, as the company has grown by more than 15 employees since our last All Hands in April 2013. We can&apos;t recount all the great stuff we did in one blog post, but we wanted to share some highlights of our meeting, particularly our development discussions.
</p>
<h2>Development Discussions</h2>
<p>We spent several days with all the developers talking about progress we have made thus far and brainstorming about where we should go across all our different products, Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana, Elasticsearch-Hadoop, and the various language clients.
</p>
<h3>Elasticsearch</h3>
<p>We checked status of features aimed at our 1.0 release planned for early next year. We chatted with <a href="http://twitter.com/imotov">Igor</a> about <a href="https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/issues/3826">Snapshot/Restore</a>, <a href="http://twitter.com/mvgroningen">Martijn</a> talked about the <a href="https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/issues/3173">distributed Percolator</a>, and <a href="http://twitter.com/uboness">Uri</a> discussed <a href="https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/issues/3300">Aggregations</a>.
</p>
<p>We also brainstormed about some future work we would like to see in Elasticsearch, and we would love to share some of these initial thoughts with all of you:
</p>
<h4>Field Data</h4>
<p>Heavy brainstorming on how to improve the experience of users when using features that require loading all field data and the potential memory problems they run into. The discussions ranged from talking about what use cases &#x201C;doc values&quot; will help solve (which <a href="http://twitter.com/jpountz">Adrien</a> has implemented, watch out for a forthcoming blog post), improved memory usage, and potentially other storage means for the field data.
</p>
<h4>Machine Learning</h4>
<p>Britta led a wonderful session about ML, asking all of us what we would like to see in ML, and to see what directions might be interesting for us to pursue in the future. We ended up breaking things into several buckets, amongst them classification, predictive functions, sentiment analysis, NLP, and more. The session was mainly exploratory in terms of understanding what we have out there and what might apply to Elasticsearch.
</p>
<h4>Changes API</h4>
<p>One of the exciting features that we want to try and tackle post 1.0 release is registering for changes happening in an index. We mainly brainstormed about how something like this can be implemented - it is quite a complicated feature. We had a couple of different options for storing or virtually storing the change log, but the best choice isn&apos;t yet clear.
</p>
<h4>Backwards Compatibility</h4>
<p>The plan is to have wire level backwards compatibility in 1.0, and we also discussed what it means to have backwards compatibility on the index level over multiple Elasticsearch versions (for example, in keeping backward comp. on the analysis chain level).
</p>
<h4>Field Collapsing / Inner Hits</h4>
<p>We again fleshed out what is needed in order to properly support field collapsing in a distributed environment execution, as well as the ability to get inner hits (for nested / parent child cases). We have a good idea on the type of refactoring we need in our search execution infrastructure, and hope to tackle it post 1.0.
</p>
<h4>Tests</h4>
<p>If you haven&apos;t noticed, <a href="http://twitter.com/s1m0nw">Simon</a> and the rest of us have been hard at work at Elasticsearch to improve our testing, mainly around introducing randomized testing and improving our integration tests. We continued the discussion regarding how to move forward with our testing enhancements, including other places where we can benefit from creating an infrastructure for our tests.
</p>
<h3>Test Infrastructure</h3>
<p><a href="http://www.linkedin.com/pub/bill-hwang/0/b/777">Bill</a> has been working on setting up an extensive test infrastructure for all our products, including running all our tests over multiple JDK versions, multiple operating systems, multiple machine types and other variants. We test all our products using it, and we plan to open it up relatively soon for people to see it.
</p>
<h3>Performance Infrastructure</h3>
<p>We also discussed how to automate our benchmarking code and make it both consistent and applicable across different projects. We brainstormed on creating an infrastructure that all our projects can use, and creating performance reports streamed to Elasticsearch and visualized in Kibana, across different infrastructure variants (OS types, machines types, &#x2026;).
</p>
<h3>Documentation</h3>
<p><a href="http://twitter.com/clintongormley">Clint</a> discussed all the work that went into creating the infrastructure for all our documentation across all projects. If you haven&apos;t seen it, our reference guide has moved to live with the code, and we have a framework in place that slurps it up and builds it to be displayed on the web site. The same infrastructure can be used for docs across all our projects, and for example, elasticsearch-hadoop is already using it. The plan is to have the infrastructure also build our forthcoming book.
</p>
<h3>Logstash</h3>
<p><a href="http://twitter.com/nickethier">Nick</a> (with <a href="http://twitter.com/jordansissel">Jordan</a> participating remotely) gave a great introduction on how Logstash works to all the developers, and we bounced ideas around about how to make it even better. We have already, in the past couple of weeks, significantly improved the performance of the elasticsearch_http output, added multiple outputs to improve data throughput to elasticsearch (as an example output), and improved the performance of the grok filter.
</p>
<h3>Kibana</h3>
<p><a href="http://twitter.com/rashidkpc">Rashid</a> gave a demo on The State of Kibana, and we bounced several ideas around on how it should move forward. One of the exciting features that came out of this discussion is Annotations, with the ability to have annotations displayed on a histogram (for example) for important events during the (time) lifecycle of the data. Rashid didn&apos;t forget to mention how excited he is regarding Aggregations in Elasticsearch ;).
</p>
<h3>Clients</h3>
<p>Clint, <a href="http://twitter.com/honzakral">Honza</a>, <a href="http://twitter.com/karmiq">Karel</a> and <a href="http://twitter.com/zacharytong">Zach</a> talked about the recently open sourced set of language clients to Elasticsearch (PHP, Perl, Python and Ruby). The output of the effort was creating a spec of Elasticsearch APIs, and we discussed how we can automate generating the spec out of the Elasticsearch codebase. The other nice side effect is the fact that the spec now includes a generic YAML based test infrastructure that all the clients run, allowing us to write tests in a single place, and have them execute by all the different clients (which we want to also execute as part of the Elasticsearch tests as well).
</p>
<p>We also spent time with <a href="http://twitter.com/SpencerAlger">Spencer</a> around how to develop a javascript/node.js client, and Chander for a future .NET client.
</p>
<h3>Team Growth</h3>
<p><img src="https://api.contentstack.io/v2/assets/575e4cba0342dfd7382638e7/download?uid=blt1c8ba7d31dc752a5?uid=blt1c8ba7d31dc752a5" data-sys-asset-uid="blt55b8a27de53492c1" alt="The dev team at our Wednesday night company dinner, still talking future features while eating Everything on a Stick." width="300" height="200" style="float:right; padding:0 0 20px 20px;">We are not a small development team anymore, and we are getting more distributed by the day. We discussed how to communicate better within our team, how to properly develop features (feature branches, on dev own repo and making pull requests, &#x2026;), and the review process that goes with it. We also spent time to see how we can better manage our time between all the tasks our developers do, be it helping out on the mailing list and IRC, coding &amp; docs/books, talking at conferences and helping out customers (yea, support from our company means talking to the developers, which we are very proud about).
</p>
<h2>The Business of Our Business</h2>
<p><img src="https://api.contentstack.io/v2/assets/575e4cbb9e7a83165490c8e0/download?uid=blt3a3af36195e89c60?uid=blt3a3af36195e89c60" data-sys-asset-uid="blt5ba5a7d13642d8e8" alt="The Elasticsearch sales team hard at work." width="300" height="200" style="float:right; padding:0 0 20px 20px;">While the majority of our heavy lifting was on the code side of the house, the rest of our team spent the week figuring out how to bring Elasticsearch to even more users and customers. Our marketing team focused on making sure that our meetup program rocks, that we&apos;re seeing folks at the right conferences and that information about Elasticsearch&apos;s product offerings is most robust. Our operations and administrative teams had extensive discussions on how to best improve our company processes so we can maintain our laser focus on producing Elasticsearch and serving our customers. Our sales team, of course, ran through &#x201C;the numbers,&quot; and things are looking great: lots of happy customers using our <a href="/subscriptions">support offerings</a> and great feedback from attendees of our <a href="/training">global training courses</a>.
</p>
<h2>Community Outreach</h2>
<p>As with all times when someone from the Elasticsearch team visits a particular city, we were excited to host a community meetup in Amsterdam. We welcomed more than 65 people to the Elasticsearch office for a full evening of talks, beer and pizza. While we usually have two shorter presentations on Elasticsearch at meetups - one on features, one on a particular use case - this time around we had the whole dev team talk about what they&apos;re working towards for 1.0 in a series of lightning talks.
</p>
<p>You can read even more about the Meet-the-Devs Meetup in <a href="/blog/meet-the-devs-meetup-in-amsterdam">Zachary Tong&apos;s blog post</a>.
</p>
<h2>Looking Forward</h2>
<p><img src="https://api.contentstack.io/v2/assets/575e4cbb43e9adc53871429a/download?uid=blt6749c476dece23ac?uid=blt6749c476dece23ac" data-sys-asset-uid="bltba93a97fc7f1096f" alt="Our guests learning all about debugging performance quirks in GitHub&apos;s new cluster from Elasticsearch core developer Drew Raines." width="300" height="200" style="float:right; padding:0 0 20px 20px;">That&apos;s a wrap for our October All Hands, but we&apos;re all looking forward to all getting together again sometime in the Spring, likely at our brand new Silicon Valley headquarters in Los Altos, California, US. In the coming weeks, we&apos;ll be talking even more about the future of Elasticsearch, Logstash and Kibana, sharing more in-depth insights into the discussions we had in Amsterdam.
