6. www.elastic.co Copyright Elastic 2015 Copying, publishing and/or distributing without written permission is strictly prohibited 6 Graph Plugin • Why Graph? • Find connections between terms • Suggestion engines • Related terms • Connect user queries with products & departments • Domain specific research • Why Elasticsearch graphs are different • Generated "on-the-fly" • Avoids "super nodes" • Use sampling and diversity settings to generate personalized (and useful) graphs
7. www.elastic.co Copyright Elastic 2015 Copying, publishing and/or distributing without written permission is strictly prohibited 7 Graph Terms • Graph: The actual data structure returned by your query • Vertex: Represent terms in your indices • As your data set new cities will become part of your graph • Edge: The connection between vertices • These connections are generated on-the-fly and can change as your data changes • Significant Terms Aggregation • Graph API relies on this aggregation to generate edges between "strongly connected" vertices. • Avoids super nodes

In search-world we are very familiar with Zipf's law and super-popular terms like "the" so know how to apply ranking. • Aggregate views: We don't need to return millions of individual docs as nodes. We can use a summary representation of the connection between 2 bank accounts as a single link and use aggs to summarize potentially millions of transactions as properties of that single link at high speed using date histogram, max, sum aggs etc
