# Data Frames
`eland.DataFrame` wraps an Elasticsearch index in a Pandas-like API and defers all processing and filtering of data to Elasticsearch instead of your local machine. This means you can process large amounts of data within Elasticsearch from a Jupyter Notebook without overloading your machine.
```python
>>> import eland as ed
>>>
# Connect to 'flights' index via localhost Elasticsearch node
>>> df = ed.DataFrame('http://localhost:9200', 'flights')

# eland.DataFrame instance has the same API as pandas.DataFrame
# except all data is in Elasticsearch. See .info() memory usage.
>>> df.head()
   AvgTicketPrice  Cancelled  ... dayOfWeek           timestamp
0      841.265642      False  ...         0 2018-01-01 00:00:00
1      882.982662      False  ...         0 2018-01-01 18:27:00
