Many people provided their invaluable support to make this book possible:

很多人提供了极有用的支持，这本书才能面世：

Susan Conant, our development editor at Manning, who supported us in so many ways: by providing valuable feedback on draft chapters, helping to plan book and individual chapter structures, giving encouragement, advising us on upcoming steps, helping us overcome bumps in the road, and so on Jettro Coenradie, our technical editor, who helped us review big chunks of the manuscript before it went to production and again helped with the final steps before the book went to press

Susan Conant，Manning 的项目编辑, 在很多地方给了我们支持：通过草稿章节提供很有用的反馈，帮助我们规划此书和章节，给我们激励，对接下来的步骤给我们建议，一路上帮助我们克服障碍等等。Jettro Coenradie, 我们的技术编辑, 在印刷前帮我们审查大量的手稿，在这本书出版前，在最后的步骤又再次帮我们。

RADU GHEORGHE

I’d like to express my thanks in chronological order. To my colleagues from Avira: Mihai Sandu, Mihai Efrim, Martin Ahrens, Matthias Ollig and many others, for supporting me in learning about Elasticsearch and tolerating my not-always-successful experiments. To my colleagues from Sematext: Otis Gospodnetić, who supported me in learning and interacting with the community, and Rafał Kuć (aka Master Rafał) for his invaluable tips and tricks. Finally, I’d like to thank my family for supporting me in so many ways that I can barely scratch the surface here: my parents, Nicoleta and Mihai Gheorghe, and my in-laws, Maădaălina and Adrian Radu, for providing good food, quiet spaces, and the all-important moral support. My wife Alexandra, for being a real hero: she somehow managed to write her own stuff and still take care of everything in order for me to write. Last but not least, my son Andrei, now 6, for his understanding and his creative solutions on spending time together, like working on his own book next to me.

我想按顺序表达我的感谢。我在小红伞(Avira)的同事：Mihai Sandu, Mihai Efrim, Martin Ahrens, Matthias Ollig 和其他人，支持我学习 Elasticsearch 包容我不总是成功的实验。致 Sematext 的同事：Otis Gospodnetić，支持我学习和在社区上互动，Rafał Kuć (aka Master Rafał) 他给我提供宝贵的技巧和窍门。最终我要感谢我的家人在很多方面给我的支持，我简单说说：我的父母 Nicoleta 、Mihai Gheorghe 和我的亲家 Maădaălina Adrian Radu，为我提供了好吃的和宁静的空间。我的妻子 Alexandra 是一个真正的英雄

First and foremost I’d like to give my sincerest thanks to my wife Delilah for encouraging me in this endeavor and for being my adventuring partner. You have given me so much support in this and so many other parts of my life. Thank you for continuing to encourage me throughout the birth of our daughter, Vera Ovelia. I’d also like to thank all of the people who have contributed to Elasticsearch. Without you, open source software would not be possible. I’m honored to contribute to such a wide-reaching and powerful piece of software.
