Elasticsearch Piped Query Language (ES|QL): Elasticsearch and Kibana added a new query language: ES|QL — coming with a new endpoint (_query) and a brand new syntax. It let's you refine your results one step at a time and adds new features like data enrichment and processing right in your query. ES|QL is not just an API but a simple and powerful way to transform your approach to search! There is no translation or transpliations to Query DSL; The result is lightning fast queries that you get out of the box!
