Recently, search databases and management and control tools have been collectively updated, with multiple products making progress in terms of feature enhancements and problem fixes. The purpose is to bring a more stable and efficient search experience and data analysis experience to enterprise users.
Deep expansion of query capabilities
This update significantly strengthens the aggregation analysis function of the core database. It adds a variety of aggregation calculation methods, allowing users to develop data statistics and insights from more dimensions when processing large-scale unstructured data. This shows that in business intelligence analysis or log analysis scenarios, data analysts can more flexibly customize data reports.
The product has improved the calculation logic of TopN indicators and supports users to create completely customized data views based on their own business needs. The system has built-in many various optimized view templates, which users can directly apply or modify based on them. This greatly reduces the threshold and time cost of making complex data dashboards.
Optimization and update of core database
Think of it as a distributed search database. In this v1.10.1 version, key improvements have been made in the query interface. The query API has recently added a debug parameter. When the results obtained by the query are inconsistent with expectations, developers can use this parameter to obtain detailed information about the query execution process, so that they can quickly find out whether the problem lies in the query statement, the index structure, or the system level.
In addition to enhanced debugging capabilities, this version has carried out a number of performance optimizations, fixed known issues, and enhanced system stability under high concurrent query conditions. Together, these improvements play a role in ensuring that users obtain a simple, efficient and easy-to-operate search service experience, especially in complex scenarios where full-text search and vector search are combined.
Multi-cluster management and control platform upgrade
The unified management and control platform has been updated to version v1.28.1. The core value of this lightweight tool is that it can help enterprises manage multiple search clusters running on different versions at the same time. For large enterprises, this resolves the management fragmentation problem caused by out-of-sync iterations of business department technology stacks.
The new version also focuses on problem fixes and optimization of user experience. The platform provides an online demonstration environment, and users can use the preset account and password to directly log in. With the help of a centralized management interface, operation and maintenance personnel can uniformly monitor the health status of the cluster and manage configuration changes, which greatly improves operation and maintenance efficiency.
Data gateway functionality enhancements
What has been updated this time is the open source data gateway, which plays a key role in the flow of search requests. All queries must go through the gateway before reaching the back-end business cluster. According to this architecture, the gateway achieves refined traffic control at the index level.
The gateway has query caching, which is one of the advanced functions. It also has request auditing functions and result rewriting functions. For example, frequently occurring query results can be cached to speed up the response to subsequent same requests. The optimization implemented in this v1.28.1 version further improves the reliability of the gateway in processing data and the forwarding efficiency.
Improved stability of monitoring agents
What has been fixed in the v1.28.1 version is the Agent component responsible for log and indicator collection. It has many problems that have been fixed. It is designed in a lightweight form and does not require external dependencies. It can be easily deployed on various mainstream operating systems and will automatically collect operating data from the designated search cluster.
The collected indicators and log information will be uniformly reported to the management and control platform for centralized display and classification analysis. A stable and reliable Agent is the foundation for ensuring the passage of the entire monitoring link. This update ensures that enterprises can continuously and accurately control the operating status of their search infrastructure.
Testing framework and developer experience
Also updated simultaneously is a lightweight performance testing tool designed specifically for the search component. This tool fixes known problems in the v1.1.1 version. Moreover, the open source development framework, which is the core foundation of the product series, has also received functional updates and optimizations.
This framework is designed around service developers, and its goal is to simplify the process of building high-performance, scalable applications. By providing reliable underlying support, the development team can focus more on the implementation of business logic, thereby accelerating the development iteration cycle of search-related products.
