* Good defaults
* Helper utilities for more complex operations, such as bulk indexing, scrolled searches and reindexing.
* Logging support via Log::Any
* Compatibility with the official clients for Python, Ruby, PHP and Javascript
* Easy extensibility
== Synopsis
[source,perl]
------------------------------------
use Elasticsearch;
# Connect to localhost:9200:
my $e = Elasticsearch->new();
# Round-robin between two nodes:
my $e = Elasticsearch->new(
nodes => [
'search1:9200',
'search2:9200'
]
);
# Connect to cluster at search1:9200, sniff all nodes and round-robin between them:
my $e = Elasticsearch->new(
nodes => 'search1:9200',
cxn_pool => 'Sniff'
);
# Index a document:
$e->index(
index => 'my_app',
type => 'blog_post',
id => 1,
body => {
title => 'Elasticsearch clients',
content => 'Interesting content...',
date => '2013-09-24'
}
);
# Get the document:
my $doc = $e->get(
index => 'my_app',
type => 'blog_post',
id => 1
);
# Search:
my $results = $e->search(
index => 'my_app',
body => {
query => {
match => { title => 'elasticsearch' }
}
}
);
