2025 Report: Destructive Malware in Open Source Packages
Destructive malware is rising across open source registries, using delays and kill switches to wipe code, break builds, and disrupt CI/CD.
A non-obtrusive, idiomatic and easy-to-use query and aggregation builder for the official Go client for OpenSearch. Based on EsQuery
osquery alleviates the need to use extremely nested maps (map[string]interface{}) and serializing queries to JSON manually. It also helps eliminating common mistakes such as misspelling query types, as everything is statically typed.
Using osquery can make your code much easier to write, read and maintain, and significantly reduce the amount of code you write. Wanna know how much code you'll save? just check this project's tests.
This is an early release, API may still change.
isquery is a Go module. To install, simply run this in your project's root directory:
go get github.com/opeious/osquery
osquery provides a method chaining-style API for building and executing queries and aggregations. It does not wrap the official Go client nor does it require you to change your existing code in order to integrate the library. Queries can be directly built with osquery, and executed by passing an *opensearch.Client instance (with optional search parameters). Results are returned as-is from the official client (e.g. *opensearchapi.Response objects).
Getting started is extremely simple:
package main
import (
"context"
"log"
"github.com/opeious/osquery"
"github.com/opensearch-project/opensearch-go"
)
func main() {
// connect to an OpenSearch instance
es, err := opensearch.NewDefaultClient()
if err != nil {
log.Fatalf("Failed creating client: %s", err)
}
// run a boolean search query
res, err := osquery.Search().
Query(
osquery.
Bool().
Must(osquery.Term("title", "Go and Stuff")).
Filter(osquery.Term("tag", "tech")),
).
Aggs(
osquery.Avg("average_score", "score"),
osquery.Max("max_score", "score"),
).
Size(20).
Run(
es,
es.Search.WithContext(context.TODO()),
es.Search.WithIndex("test"),
)
if err != nil {
log.Fatalf("Failed searching for stuff: %s", err)
}
defer res.Body.Close()
// ...
}
{ "query": { "term": { "user": "Kimchy" } } }
The library will always generate this:
{ "query": { "term": { "user": { "value": "Kimchy" } } } }
This is also true for queries such as "bool", where fields like "must" can
either receive one query object, or an array of query objects. osquery will
generate an array even if there's only one query object.
The following queries are currently supported:
| OpenSearch DSL | osquery Function |
|---|---|
"match" | Match() |
"match_bool_prefix" | MatchBoolPrefix() |
"match_phrase" | MatchPhrase() |
"match_phrase_prefix" | MatchPhrasePrefix() |
"match_all" | MatchAll() |
"match_none" | MatchNone() |
"multi_match" | MultiMatch() |
"exists" | Exists() |
"fuzzy" | Fuzzy() |
"ids" | IDs() |
"prefix" | Prefix() |
"range" | Range() |
"regexp" | Regexp() |
"term" | Term() |
"terms" | Terms() |
"terms_set" | TermsSet() |
"wildcard" | Wildcard() |
"bool" | Bool() |
"boosting" | Boosting() |
"constant_score" | ConstantScore() |
"dis_max" | DisMax() |
The following aggregations are currently supported:
| OpenSearch DSL | osquery Function |
|---|---|
"avg" | Avg() |
"weighted_avg" | WeightedAvg() |
"cardinality" | Cardinality() |
"max" | Max() |
"min" | Min() |
"sum" | Sum() |
"value_count" | ValueCount() |
"percentiles" | Percentiles() |
"stats" | Stats() |
"string_stats" | StringStats() |
"top_hits" | TopHits() |
"terms" | TermsAgg() |
The following top level options are currently supported:
| OpenSearch DSL | osquery.Search Function |
|---|---|
"highlight" | Highlight() |
"explain" | Explain() |
"from" | From() |
"postFilter" | PostFilter() |
"query" | Query() |
"aggs" | Aggs() |
"size" | Size() |
"sort" | Sort() |
"source" | SourceIncludes(), SourceExcludes() |
"timeout" | Timeout() |
To execute an arbitrary query or aggregation (including those not yet supported by the library), use the CustomQuery() or CustomAgg() functions, respectively. Both accept any map[string]interface{} value.
