In speaking with a lot of new users to our stack and field we're getting extremely positive feedback with sample data. It provides a "complete picture" of what you can do with Kibana and allows users to see how things can be configured. I know we have a sample data map for logs merged in master now, but think it can be enhanced. I'd also like to include maps for both eCommerce and Flights.
@nreese I was hoping I might be able to take a stab at creating these maps but I'm not sure if I'll have the time to actually merge PR's. Thoughts on tag teaming either of this? If I can get you some JSON for the saved maps, could you merge in as part of the sample data set with the appropriate tests? It'd be a nice win for 6.7 and would hopefully increase adoption for new users.
@elastic/kibana-gis I was planning on taking a stab at these but if anyone else already has maps using any of the sample data sets or would like to come up with some, feel free to do so.

Sounds good
@thomasneirynck @nreese here's a first pass at the maps for sample data sets. If we decide to use these three, we need to remove the [Logs] Web Traffic one. Would love some feedback.

Created a PR with these so they are easier to use - https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/28797
With exception of the join issue for eCommerce data (tracked here https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/28790 and/or here https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/28858), I think we're good. Just loaded up master and it looks good. Once the backport is in, let's close this out and cleanup that bug post-FF.
