Vert.x ElasticSearch Service

Vert.x 3 elasticsearch service with event bus proxying.

Version Matrix

vert.x	elasticsearch	vertx-elasticsearch-service
3.3.1	2.2.0	2.2.0
3.0.0	1.7.2	2.1.0
2.1.x	1.3.2	1.3.0 (vertx-mod-elasticsearch)

Configuration

The configuration options are as follows:

{
    "address": <address>,
    "transportAddresses": [ { "hostname": <hostname>, "port": <port> } ],
    "cluster_name": <cluster_name>,
    "client_transport_sniff": <client_transport_sniff>,
    "requireUnits": false
}

address - The event bus address to listen on. The default is "et.vertx.elasticsearch".
transportAddresses - An array of transport address objects containing hostname and port. If no transport address are provided the default is "localhost" and 9300
- hostname - the ip or hostname of the node to connect to.
- port - the port of the node to connect to. The default is 9300.
cluster_name - the elastic search cluster name. The default is "elasticsearch".
client_transport_sniff - the client will sniff the rest of the cluster and add those into its list of machines to use. The default is true.
requireUnits - boolean flag whether units are required. The default is false.

An example configuration would be:

{
    "address": "eb.elasticsearch",
    "transportAddresses": [ { "hostname": "host1", "port": 9300 }, { "hostname": "host2", "port": 9301 } ],
    "cluster_name": "my_cluster",
    "client_transport_sniff": true
}

NOTE: No configuration is needed if running elastic search locally with the default cluster name.

Dependency Injection

The DefaultElasticSearchService requires a TransportClientFactory and ElasticSearchConfigurator to be injected.

Default bindings are provided for HK2 and Guice, but you can create your own bindings for your container of choice.

See the englishtown/vertx-hk2 or englishtown/vertx-guice projects for further details.

Action Commands

Index

http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/api/index_/

Send a json message to the event bus with the following structure:

{
    "action": "index",
    "_index": <index>,
    "_type": <type>,
    "_id": <id>,
    "_source": <source>
}

index - the index name.
type - the type name.
id - the string id of the source to insert/update. This is optional, if missing a new id will be generated by elastic search and returned.
source - the source json document to index

An example message would be:

{
    "action": "index",
    "_index": "twitter",
    "_type": "tweet",
    "_id": "1",
    "_source": {
        "user": "englishtown",
        "message": "love elastic search!"
    }
}

The event bus replies with a json message with the following structure:

{
    "status": <status>,
    "_index": <index>,
    "_type": <type>,
    "_id": <id>,
    "_version" <version>
}

status - either ok or error
index - the index where the source document is stored
type - the type of source document
id - the string id of the indexed source document
version - the numeric version of the source document starting at 1.

An example reply message would be:

{
    "status": "ok",
    "_index": "twitter",
    "_type": "tweet",
    "_id": "1",
    "_version": 1
}

NOTE: A missing document will always be created (upsert mode) because the op_type parameter is not implemented yet (http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/docs-index_.html).

Get

Send a json message to the event bus with the following structure:

An example message would be:

{
    "action": "get",
    "_index": "twitter",
    "_type": "tweet",
    "_id": "1"
}

The event bus replies with a json message with the following structure:

{
    "status": <status>,
    "_index": <index>,
    "_type": <type>,
    "_id": <id>,
    "_version": <version>
    "_source": <source>

    }
}

scroll - a string time value parameter (ex. "5m" or "30s"). This is only required when search_type is scan.
size - a number representing the max number of results to be returned. The default if not specified is 10. (http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-request-from-size.html). This is optional.
from - a number representing the offset from the first result to be returned. The default if not specified is 0. (http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-request-from-size.html). This is optional.

    "query": {
        "match": {
            "user": "englishtown"
        }
    }
}

The event bus replies with a json message with a status "ok" or "error" along with the standard elastic search json search response. See the documentation for details.

An example reply message for the query above would be:

{
    "status": "ok",
    "took" : 3,
    "timed_out" : false,
    "_shards" : {
        "total" : 5,

                "_type" : "tweet",
                "_id" : "1",
                "_score" : 0.19178301,

                    "user": "englishtown",
                    "message" : "love elastic search!"
                }
            },
            {
                "_index" : "twitter",
                "_type" : "tweet",
                "_id" : "2",
                "_score" : 0.19178301,
                "_source" : {
                    "user": "englishtown",
                    "message" : "still searching away"

Scroll

http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/api/search/scroll/

First send a search message with search_type = "scan" and scroll = "5m" (some time string). The search result will include a _scroll_id that will be valid for the scroll time specified.

Send a json message to the event bus with the following structure:

{
    "action": "scroll",
    "_scroll_id": <_scroll_id>,
    "scroll": <scroll>
}

_scroll_id - the string scroll id returned from the scan search.
scroll - a string time value parameter (ex. "5m" or "30s").

An example message would be:

    "action": "scroll",
    "_scroll_id": "c2Nhbjs1OzIxMTpyUkpzWnBIYVMzbVB0VGlaNHdjcWpnOzIxNTpyUkpzWnBI",
    "scroll": "5m"
}

The event bus replies with a json message with a status "ok" or "error" along with the standard elastic search json scroll response. See the documentation for details.

An example reply message for the scroll above would be:

{
    "status": "ok",
    "_scroll_id": "c2Nhbjs1OzIxMTpyUkpzWnBIYVMzbVB0VGlaNHdjcWpnOzIxNTpyUkpzWnBI",
    "took": 2,
    "timed_out": false,
    "_shards": {
        "total": 5,
        "successful": 5,
        "failed": 0
    },
    "hits" : {
        "total" : 2,
        "max_score" : 0.0,
        "hits" : [

                    "message" : "love elastic search!"
                }
            },
            {
                "_index" : "twitter",
                "_type" : "tweet",
                "_id" : "2",
                "_score" : 0.0,
                "_source" : {
                    "user": "englishtown",
                    "message" : "still searching away"
