It can be installed with:
[source,sh]
------------------------------------
cpanm Elasticsearch
------------------------------------
=== Features
This client provides:
* Full support for all Elasticsearch APIs
* HTTP backend (currently synchronous only - Any::Event support will be added later)
* Robust networking support which handles load balancing, failure detection and failover
* 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' }
}
}
);
------------------------------------
[[v0_90]]
== Elasticsearch 0.90.* and earlier
The current version of the client supports the Elasticsearch 1.0 branch by
default, which is not backwards compatible with the 0.90 branch.
If you need to talk to a version of Elasticsearch before 1.0.0,
please use `Elasticsearch::Client::0_90::Direct` as follows:
[source,perl]
------------------------------------
$es = Elasticsearch->new(
client => '0_90::Direct'
);
