This is a development branch that is actively being worked on. DO NOT USE IN PRODUCTION! If you want to use stable versions of Elastic, please use a dependency manager like dep.
Elastic is an Elasticsearch client for the Go programming language.
See the wiki for additional information about Elastic.
The release branches (e.g. release-branch.v6)
are actively being worked on and can break at any time.
If you want to use stable versions of Elastic, please use a dependency manager like dep.
Here's the version matrix:
| Elasticsearch version | Elastic version | Package URL | Remarks |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6.x | 6.0 | github.com/olivere/elastic (source doc) | Use a dependency manager (see below). |
| 5.x | 5.0 | gopkg.in/olivere/elastic.v5 (source doc) | Actively maintained. |
| 2.x | 3.0 | gopkg.in/olivere/elastic.v3 (source doc) | Deprecated. Please update. |
| 1.x | 2.0 | gopkg.in/olivere/elastic.v2 (source doc) | Deprecated. Please update. |
| 0.9-1.3 | 1.0 | gopkg.in/olivere/elastic.v1 (source doc) | Deprecated. Please update. |
Example:
You have installed Elasticsearch 6.0.0 and want to use Elastic. As listed above, you should use Elastic 6.0.
To use the required version of Elastic in your application, it is strongly
advised to use a tool like
dep
or
Go modules
to manage dependencies. Make sure to use a version such as ^6.0.0.
To use Elastic with Go 1.10.2 or earlier, import:
import "github.com/olivere/elastic"
If you're using Go 1.11 (or Go 1.10.3+) with modules support, import Elastic like this:
import "github.com/olivere/elastic/v6"
Elastic 6.0 targets Elasticsearch 6.x which was released on 14th November 2017.
Notice that there are will be a lot of breaking changes in Elasticsearch 6.0 and we used this as an opportunity to clean up and refactor Elastic as we did in the transition from earlier versions of Elastic.
Elastic 5.0 targets Elasticsearch 5.0.0 and later. Elasticsearch 5.0.0 was released on 26th October 2016.
Notice that there are will be a lot of breaking changes in Elasticsearch 5.0 and we used this as an opportunity to clean up and refactor Elastic as we did in the transition from Elastic 2.0 (for Elasticsearch 1.x) to Elastic 3.0 (for Elasticsearch 2.x).
Furthermore, the jump in version numbers will give us a chance to be in sync with the Elastic Stack.
Elastic 3.0 targets Elasticsearch 2.x and is published via gopkg.in/olivere/elastic.v3.
Elastic 3.0 will only get critical bug fixes. You should update to a recent version.
Elastic 2.0 targets Elasticsearch 1.x and is published via gopkg.in/olivere/elastic.v2.
Elastic 2.0 will only get critical bug fixes. You should update to a recent version.
Elastic 1.0 is deprecated. You should really update Elasticsearch and Elastic to a recent version.
However, if you cannot update for some reason, don't worry. Version 1.0 is still available. All you need to do is go-get it and change your import path as described above.
We use Elastic in production since 2012. Elastic is stable but the API changes now and then. We strive for API compatibility. However, Elasticsearch sometimes introduces breaking changes and we sometimes have to adapt.
Having said that, there have been no big API changes that required you to rewrite your application big time. More often than not it's renaming APIs and adding/removing features so that Elastic is in sync with Elasticsearch.
Elastic has been used in production starting with Elasticsearch 0.90 up to recent 6.x versions. Furthermore, we use Travis CI to test Elastic with the most recent versions of Elasticsearch and Go. See the .travis.yml file for the exact matrix and Travis for the results.
Elasticsearch has quite a few features. Most of them are implemented by Elastic. I add features and APIs as required. It's straightforward to implement missing pieces. I'm accepting pull requests :-)
Having said that, I hope you find the project useful.
The first thing you do is to create a Client.
The client connects to Elasticsearch on http://127.0.0.1:9200 by default.
You typically create one client for your app. Here's a complete example of creating a client, creating an index, adding a document, executing a search etc.
An example is available here.
Here's a link to a complete working example for v6.
Here are a few tips on how to get used to Elastic:
_test.go files).
They not only serve as a guard against changes, but also as a reference.The cat APIs are not implemented as of now. We think they are better suited for operating with Elasticsearch on the command line.
Scrolling is supported via a ScrollService. It supports an iterator-like interface.
The ClearScroll API is implemented as well.
A pattern for efficiently scrolling in parallel is described in the Wiki.

Thanks a lot for the great folks working hard on Elasticsearch and Go.
