Python client for Elasticsearch
Project description
Official low-level client for Elasticsearch. It’s goal is to provide common ground for all Elasticsearch-related code in Python; because of this it tries to be opinion-free and very extendable.
Example use
Simple use-case:
>>> from datetime import datetime
>>> from elasticsearch import Elasticsearch
# by default we connect to localhost:9200
>>> es = Elasticsearch()
# datetimes will be serialized
>>> es.index(index="my-index", doc_type="test-type", id=42, body={"any": "data", "timestamp": datetime.now()})
{u'_id': u'42', u'_index': u'my-index', u'_type': u'test-type', u'_version': 1, u'ok': True}
# but not deserialized
>>> es.get(index="my-index", doc_type="test-type", id=42)['_source']
{u'any': u'data', u'timestamp': u'2013-05-12T19:45:31.804229'}
Features
The client’s features include:
translating basic Python data types to and from json (datetimes are not decoded for performance reasons)
configurable automatic discovery of cluster nodes
persistent connections
load balancing (with pluggable selection strategy) across all availible nodes
failed connection penalization (time based - failed connections won’t be retried until a timeout is reached)
thread safety
pluggable architecture
