#PlayLastiK

Playframework 2.3.x / Dead Simple ElasticSearch integration

Integration with ElasticSearch 1.7.0

=========

Why this plugin ?

This plugin integrates play with elastic4s which provides an elegant DLS for elasticSearch.

It also extends elastic4s by providing a restClient (maybe this should rather be integrated to elastic4s)

Many libs already exist, most are using ElasticSearch native java client.

So if you need to use elasticSearch REST api most libs come with their own http client lib.

• this lib uses play WS Most lib handle json documents but dont use play Json API
• this lib uses play Json api
• this lib tries to give you a typesafe access to elasticSearch response types using case class mapping

###This plugin isn't feature complete (at the moment) it will not cover all elastic4s features (nor all ElasticSearch features)

It fully support indexing, querying, bulk index, managing indices lifecycle, aliases, manipulating mapping…

###Disclaimer Some features are still missing (mostly admin features…) feel free to send Pull requests. Most off the missing methods from the original elastic4s client are referenced and commented in the code. It's not complicated to implement them. ;-)

How to install it ?

In your application, add this configuration to the project/Build.scala file :

add this dependency for play 2.3.x :

"playlastik"  % "playlastik_2.10" % "1.7.0.1"

add this resolver :

resolvers += "fred's bintray" at "http://dl.bintray.com/fmasion/maven"

In your application, add to conf/play.plugins (or create the file if it dosn't exist) this configuration :

1500:playlastik.plugin.PlayLastiKPlugin

Finally in the conf/application.conf you can configure some elements of vert.x and for clustering. The cleanest way is to add this conf in additional files so add in conf/application.conf these lines :

include "playlastik.conf"

# Logger provided to playLastiK :
logger.playlastik=INFO

Create conf/playlastik.conf you can configure some elements of vert.x :

playLastiK {

	# Dev Mode launches a local elasticSearch instance
	isDevMode=true
	
	# Define a cluster name so you can avoid clustering with other persons while in dev mode
	# Default is "playLastiK"
	cluster.name="elasticsearchDev1"
	
	# in Dev Mode you may want a fresh local elasticSearch instance on restart
	# only clean in dev mode : isDevMode=true
	# cleanOnStop=true

	# elasticsearch url default to http://localhost:9200
	url="http://localhost:9200"

	# Athentification of the http client
	# schemes are : BASIC, DIGEST, KERBEROS, NONE, NTLM, and SPNEGO
	# defaults to NONE
	authentication=NONE
	#authentication.user=""
	#authentication.pass=""

	# Exponential Backoff Retry if no http response or http failure
	# will retry up to maxNbRetry with an exponential delay
	# first time 100ms then 200, 400, 800, 1600...
	#
	# default = true
	withRetry=true
	# defaults = 5 times
	maxNbRetry=5
	# default = 20 ms
	delay=20
