Importing external models into Elasticsearch using eland

Suppose you already have a model trained using one of the other frameworks. Is it possible to re-use the building blocks we discussed in the previous section to deploy your own externally trained models? The answer is yes, with a few limitations. In this section, we will take a look at how to use the eland library, along with scikit-learn, another machine learning library for creating and training external machine learning models and importing them into Elasticsearch for inference.

Learning about supported external models in eland

Unfortunately, the inference functionality in the Elastic Stack does not yet have support for importing an externally trained machine learning model from any library (though it might at some point in the future!). Instead, the eland documentation (https://eland.readthedocs.io/en/7.10.1b1/reference/api/eland.ml.MLModel.import_model.html#eland.ml.MLModel.import_model) contains a list of third...
