We are building an app to help us keep track of user behaviour on site,
similar to Google Analytics. We are logging the data currently, but are
looking for a good way to enable exploratory data analysis, i.e.
dynamically querying the data in real time to gain insight. I'm wondering
whether elasticsearch might be a good fit for this.
Our data structure is likely to look something like:
user
session
event
properties (key-value pairs)
event
properties
event
properties
session
event
properties
The type of queries we would like to perform are either aggregations
(count/avg/min/max etc.), or finding a list of matching users or events,
which don't sound like a problem.
The twist is that in addition to simple queries where we query or aggregate
based on user or event properties, it's likely that we'll also want to
perform set-based operations to filter out data. This would allow us to
express things such as 'Find all users who have performed event Y after
performing event X' or 'How many users have performed event X but haven't
performed event Y'.
Does elasticsearch have support for this type of query? Would it be a good
match for this type of application?
Thanks,
Nick
