1. How can you establish a connection from a Django app to Elasticsearch?

Explanation

To establish a connection from a Django app to Elasticsearch, one must create a new search.py file in the app folder and utilize the 'from elasticsearch_dsl.connections import connections; connections.create_connection()' method. This allows for the proper integration between the Django app and Elasticsearch. The other incorrect answers do not provide the correct method of establishing the connection and may lead to errors or issues in connectivity.

2. How to set up index for a model in step 2?

Explanation

The correct answer involves creating a new model_index based on DocType and creating individual fields in a similar way within the model class Meta.

Submit
3. How to run indexing for a model (the bulk command)?

Explanation

The correct way to run indexing for a model using the bulk command is to initialize the Elasticsearch client and use the bulk function with a loop to index each row in the model. The incorrect answers do not follow the correct syntax or steps required for indexing in this context.

Submit
4. How to create an indexing method for each model?

Explanation

The correct way to create an indexing method for each model is to define it inside each model class. This allows for better organization and encapsulation of the indexing logic within the model itself.

Submit
5. What is the workflow for automating indexing of any newly saved instance of a model in Django?
Submit
6. How can a signal be created to fire a model method?

Explanation

Signals in Django are used to enable decoupled applications to get notified when certain actions occur elsewhere in the application. The correct method to create a signal for firing a model method is to create a method decorated with @receiver(post_save, sender=your_modelname) in the signals.py file.

Submit
7. How to register Django that we are using signals?

Explanation

To properly register Django signals, it is essential to follow the correct procedure which involves creating a new Config class in the apps.py file, based on the AppConfig class, and implementing the ready(self) method within this new class. This method ensures that the signals are registered and ready to be used within the Django application.

Submit
8. How should Django be informed that a signal needs to be applied to the app?

Explanation

To apply a signal to the app in Django, the correct approach is to modify the __init__.py file in the app folder and register the new AppConfig created in step A2. The other options provided are not relevant to the specific action required in this scenario.

Submit
9. Step 5: Create a search method.

Explanation

The correct answer outlines the specific steps to create a search method in search.py. The incorrect answers either suggest unrelated actions like creating a new endpoint or adding CSS styling, or include unnecessary steps such as database backup. The focus should be on defining the search method and its functionality.

Submit
10. When should you run model_index.init(index="")?
Submit
11. How can elasticsearch be integrated into a Django app?

Explanation

Elasticsearch can be integrated into a Django app by creating a search form for a template and modifying a class-based view to handle elasticsearch. This approach allows for a more structured and efficient way of utilizing elasticsearch functionality within the Django application.

Submit
12. How can a class-based view be modified to integrate elasticsearch?

Explanation

The correct approach is to incorporate elasticsearch handling within the class-based view by adding a new method and executing the elasticsearch search within it. Embedding query strings directly in the view or using separate functions can lead to code redundancy and complexity. Modifying Django settings to enable elasticsearch integration for all views may not offer the flexibility needed for specific use cases requiring different handling.

Submit
13. How can you manage Elasticsearch connection in one centralized location?

Explanation

By creating an AppConfig object in apps.py and setting up the Elasticsearch connection in the ready() method, you centralize the management of the connection. This ensures that the connection logic is only defined and executed once, making it easier to maintain and update in the future.

Submit
14. How to create a search for a range of values?

Explanation

The correct way to create a search for a range of values is to use the 'query' method with the 'range' parameter in the search query. The correct answer provided is an example of how this can be achieved. The incorrect answers provided contain errors such as using the 'filter' method instead of 'query', using 'aggs' instead of 'query', and using incorrect fields in the query. These errors result in incorrect search queries and would not yield the desired results when searching for a range of values.

Submit
15. How can a full text search be handled instead of word-by-word analysis search?

Explanation

To handle a full text search instead of word-by-word analysis search, indicating the index='not_analyzed' in the mapping field for the respective category is the correct approach. This allows the search to focus on the entire text content without performing word-by-word analysis or tokenization.

Submit
16. How can you delete an existing Elasticsearch index?

Explanation

To delete an existing Elasticsearch index, you need to specify the index name in the DELETE request. Option 2 only sends a DELETE request without specifying the index. Option 3 incorrectly combines the delete index endpoint with the index name in a single request.
