Elasticsearch itself is a flexible and powerful open source, distributed real-time search and analytics engine for the cloud. You can read more about it on L. =head1 PREVIOUS VERSIONS OF ELASTICSEARCH This version of the client supports the Elasticsearch 7.0 branch, which is not backwards compatible with earlier branches. If you need to talk to a version of Elasticsearch before 7.0.0, please install one of the following packages: =over =item * L =item * L =item * L =item * L =item * L =back =head2 Motivation =over I Leonardo da Vinci =back All of us have opinions, especially when it comes to designing APIs. Unfortunately, the opinions of programmers seldom coincide. The intention of this client, and of the officially supported clients available for other languages, is to provide robust support for the full native Elasticsearch API with as few opinions as possible: you should be able to read the L and understand how to use this client, or any of the other official clients. Should you decide that you want to customize the API, then this client provides the basis for your code. It does the hard stuff for you, allowing you to build on top of it. =head2 Features This client provides: =over =item * Full support for all Elasticsearch APIs =item * HTTP backend (for an async backend using L, see L) =item * Robust networking support which handles load balancing, failure detection and failover =item * Good defaults =item * Helper utilities for more complex operations, such as L, and L =item * Logging support via L =item * Compatibility with the official clients for Python, Ruby, PHP, and Javascript =item * Easy extensibility =back =head1 INSTALLING ELASTICSEARCH You can download the latest version of Elasticsearch from L. See the L for details. You will need to have a recent version of Java installed, preferably the Java v8 from Sun. =head1 CREATING A NEW INSTANCE The L method returns a new L which can be used to run requests against the Elasticsearch cluster. use Search::Elasticsearch; my $e = Search::Elasticsearch->new( %params ); The most important arguments to L are the following: =head2 C The C parameter tells the client which Elasticsearch nodes it should talk to. It can be a single node, multiples nodes or, if not specified, will default to C: # default: localhost:9200 $e = Search::Elasticsearch->new(); # single $e = Search::Elasticsearch->new( nodes => 'search_1:9200'); # multiple $e = Search::Elasticsearch->new( nodes => [ 'search_1:9200', 'search_2:9200' ] ); Each C can be a URL including a scheme, host, port, path and userinfo (for authentication). For instance, this would be a valid node: https://username:password@search.domain.com:443/prefix/path See L for more on node specification. =head2 C The L modules manage connections to nodes in the Elasticsearch cluster. They handle the load balancing between nodes and failover when nodes fail. Which C you should use depends on where your cluster is. There are three choices: =over =item * C $e = Search::Elasticsearch->new( cxn_pool => 'Static' # default nodes => [ 'search1.domain.com:9200', 'search2.domain.com:9200' ], ); The L connection pool, which is the default, should be used when you don't have direct access to the Elasticsearch cluster, eg when you are accessing the cluster through a proxy. See L for more. =item * C $e = Search::Elasticsearch->new( cxn_pool => 'Sniff', nodes => [ 'search1:9200', 'search2:9200' ], ); The L connection pool should be used when you B have direct access to the Elasticsearch cluster, eg when your web servers and Elasticsearch servers are on the same network. The nodes that you specify are used to I the cluster, which is then I to find the current list of live nodes that the cluster knows about. See L. =item * C $e = Search::Elasticsearch->new( cxn_pool => 'Static::NoPing' nodes => [ 'proxy1.domain.com:80', 'proxy2.domain.com:80' ], ); The L connection pool should be used when your access to a remote cluster is so limited that you cannot ping individual nodes with a C request. See L for more. =back =head2 C For debugging purposes, it is useful to be able to dump the actual HTTP requests which are sent to the cluster, and the response that is received. This can be enabled with the C parameter, as follows: # To STDERR $e = Search::Elasticsearch->new( trace_to => 'Stderr' ); # To a file $e = Search::Elasticsearch->new( trace_to => ['File','/path/to/filename'] ); Logging is handled by L. See L for more information. =head2 Other Other arguments are explained in the respective L. =head1 RUNNING REQUESTS When you create a new instance of Search::Elasticsearch, it returns a L object, which can be used for running requests. use Search::Elasticsearch; my $e = Search::Elasticsearch->new( %params ); # create an index $e->indices->create( index => 'my_index' ); # index a document $e->index( index => 'my_index', type => 'blog_post', id => 1, body => { title => 'Elasticsearch clients', content => 'Interesting content...', date => '2013-09-24' } ); See L for more details about the requests that can be run. =head1 MODULES Each chunk of functionality is handled by a different module, which can be specified in the call to L as shown in L above. For instance, the following will use the L module for the connection pool. $e = Search::Elasticsearch->new( cxn_pool => 'Sniff' ); Custom modules can be named with the appropriate prefix, eg C, or by prefixing the full class name with C<+>: $e = Search::Elasticsearch->new( cxn_pool => '+My::Custom::CxnClass' ); The modules that you can override are specified with the following arguments to L: =head2 C The class to use for the client functionality, which provides methods that can be called to execute requests, such as C, C or C. The client parses the user's requests and passes them to the L class to be executed. The default version of the client is C<7_0::Direct>, which can be explicitly specified as follows: $e = Search::Elasticsearch->new( client => '7_0::Direct' ); =head2 C The Transport class accepts a parsed request from the L class, fetches a L from its L and tries to execute the request, retrying after failure where appropriate. See: =over =item * L =back =head2 C The class which handles raw requests to Elasticsearch nodes. See: =over =item * L (default) =item * L =item * L =back =head2 C The class which the L uses to create new L objects. See: =over =item * L =back =head2 C (2) The class to use for the L functionality. It calls the L class to create new L objects when appropriate. See: =over =item * L (default) =item * L =item * L =back =head2 C The class to use for logging events and tracing HTTP requests/responses. See: =over =item * L =back =head2 C The class to use for serializing request bodies and deserializing response bodies.

If you have any suggestions for improvements, or find any bugs, please report them to L. I will be notified, and then you'll automatically be notified of progress on your bug as I make changes. =head1 SUPPORT You can find documentation for this module with the perldoc command. perldoc Search::Elasticsearch You can also look for information at: =over 4 =item * GitHub L =item * CPAN Ratings L =item * Search MetaCPAN L =item * IRC The L<#elasticsearch|irc://irc.freenode.net/elasticsearch> channel on C. =item * Mailing list The main L. =back =head1 TEST SUITE The full test suite requires a live Elasticsearch node to run, and should be run as : perl Makefile.PL ES=localhost:9200 make test B You can change the Cxn class which is used by setting the C environment variable: ES_CXN=NetCurl ES=localhost:9200 make test =head1 AUTHOR Enrico Zimuel =head1 COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE This software is Copyright (c) 2024 by Elasticsearch BV.
