Isabel Drost-Fromm 48004ff8a5 Add mustache templating to query execution.
Adds support for storing mustache based query templates that can later be filled
with query parameter values at execution time. Templates may be both quoted,
non-quoted and referencing templates stored in config/scripts/*.mustache by file
name.

See docs/reference/query-dsl/queries/template-query.asciidoc for templating
examples.

Implementation detail: mustache itself is being shaded as it depends directly on
guava - so having it marked optional but included in the final distribution
raises chances of version conflicts downstream.

Elasticsearch REST API JSON specification

This repository contains a collection of JSON files which describe the Elasticsearch HTTP API.

Their purpose is to formalize and standardize the API, to facilitate development of libraries and integrations.

Example for the "Create Index" API:

{
  "indices.create": {
    "documentation": "http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/api/admin-indices-create-index/",
    "methods": ["PUT", "POST"],
    "url": {
      "path": "/{index}",
      "paths": ["/{index}"],
      "parts": {
        "index": {
          "type" : "string",
          "required" : true,
          "description" : "The name of the index"
        }
      },
      "params": {
        "timeout": {
          "type" : "time",
          "description" : "Explicit operation timeout"
        }
      }
    },
    "body": {
      "description" : "The configuration for the index (`settings` and `mappings`)"
    }
  }
}

The specification contains:

  • The name of the API (indices.create), which usually corresponds to the client calls
  • Link to the documentation at http://elasticsearch.org
  • List of HTTP methods for the endpoint
  • URL specification: path, parts, parameters
  • Whether body is allowed for the endpoint or not and its description

The methods and url.paths elements list all possible HTTP methods and URLs for the endpoint; it is the responsibility of the developer to use this information for a sensible API on the target platform.

Utilities

The repository contains some utilities in the utils directory:

  • The thor api:generate:spec will generate the basic JSON specification from Java source code
  • The thor api:generate:code generates Ruby source code and tests from the specs, and can be extended to generate assets in another programming language

Run bundle install and then thor list in the utils folder.

The full command to generate the api spec is:

thor api:spec:generate --output=myfolder --elasticsearch=/path/to/es
