Crate elastic [] [src]

Elasticsearch API Client

A modular and efficient native client for the Elasticsearch REST API.

Supported Versions

elastic Elasticsearch
0.x 5.x

The client provides a flexible API with a default happy-path so you can customise the way you use it. It depends heavily on the following crates:

elastic is designed to scale up to the complexity of Elasticsearch's API, and with the complexity of the environments Elasticsearch is deployed in.

Usage

This crate is on crates.io. To get stated, add elastic to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
elastic = "*"
elastic_derive = "*"

The following optional dependencies may also be useful:

json_str = "*"
serde = "*"
serde_json = "*"
serde_derive = "*"

Then reference in your crate root:

extern crate elastic;
#[macro_use]
extern crate elastic_derive;

Examples

Creating a client

The Client type is used to make interact with an Elasticsearch cluster. The Client will use a default set of request parameters that are passed to each request. Properties like the host and query parameters can be configured for all requests:

use elastic::prelude::*;
use elastic::http::header::Authorization;

let builder = ClientBuilder::new()
    .base_url("http://es_host:9200")
    .params(|p| p
        .url_param("pretty", true)
        .header(Authorization("let me in".to_owned())));

let client = builder.build().unwrap();

Individual requests can override these parameter values:

let client = ClientBuilder::new().build().unwrap();

let response = client.search::<Value>()
                     .params(|p| p.url_param("pretty", true))
                     .send()
                     .unwrap();

For more details, see the client and requests modules.

Making requests

Each endpoint in the Elasticsearch REST API is provided as a strongly-typed structure. The client offers high-level request builders for some common Elasticsearch operations.

Getting and Indexing documents

The Document Mapping API is provided as a custom derive plugin and set of Rust traits. Derive Serialize, Deserialize and ElasticType on your document types:

#[derive(Serialize, Deserialize, ElasticType)]
struct MyType {
    pub id: i32,
    pub title: String,
    pub timestamp: Date<DefaultDateFormat>
}

Call Client.put_mapping to ensure an index has the right mapping for your document types:

client.put_mapping::<MyType>(index("myindex"))
      .send()
      .unwrap();

Then call Client.index_document to index documents in Elasticsearch:

let doc = MyType {
    id: 1,
    title: String::from("A title"),
    timestamp: Date::now()
};

let response = client.index_document(index("myindex"), id(doc.id), doc)
                     .send()
                     .unwrap();

Call Client.get_document to retrieve a single document from an index:

let response = client.get_document::<MyType>(index("myindex"), id(1))
                     .send()
                     .unwrap();

if let Some(doc) = response.source {
    println!("id: {}", doc.id);
}

For more details on document types, see the types module.

Searching documents

Call Client.search to execute Query DSL queries:

let response = client.search::<MyType>()
                     .index("myindex")
                     .body(json_str!({
                         query: {
                            query_string: {
                                query: "*"
                            }
                         }
                     }))
                     .send()
                     .unwrap();

// Iterate through the hits (of type `MyType`)
for hit in response.hits() {
    println!("{:?}", hit);
}

Crate design

This crate is mostly a meta-package composed of a number of smaller pieces including:

This crate glues these libraries together with some simple assumptions about how they're going to be used.
