Elastic: Launching Piped Query Language for Unstructured and Structured Data

An Intellyx Brain Candy Update

We last covered Elastic in April 2023. Today, the enterprise search powerhouse is launching the ElasticSearch Query Language, or ES|QL.

Elastic in Intellyx Brain CandyES|QL is a piped query language, which means that operators can string queries together where the output of one is the input of the next.

ES|QL also works with unstructured as well as structured data, thus differentiating itself from the popular Structured Query Language (SQL).

Operators can leverage ES|QL to join data from any accessible location without moving them, thus differentiating ES|QL from extract, transform, and load (ETL) solutions.

Elastic is releasing ES|QL as open-source with the intention of establishing it as foundational enterprise technology.
