An Elixir flavored DSL for building JSON based requests to Elasticsearch engine

tirexs

An Elixir flavored DSL for building JSON based settings, mappings, queries, percolators to Elasticsearch engine.

Hint: Check out /examples directory as a quick intro.

releases:

• v0.6.0 tested on elastcisearch 1.4.4, elixir 1.0.3
• v0.5.0 tested on elastcisearch 1.1.1, 1.4.2, elixir 0.13.1
• v0.4 tested on elasticsearch 0.90.3, elixir 0.12.5

available as Hex package.

Walk-through a code

Let's define the mapping for specific document type:

import Tirexs.Mapping

index = [index: "articles", type: "article"]
mappings do
  indexes "id", type: "long", index: "not_analyzed", include_in_all: false
  indexes "title", type: "string", boost: 2.0, analyzer: "snowball"
  indexes "tags",  type: "string", analyzer: "keyword"
  indexes "content", type: "string", analyzer: "snowball"
  indexes "authors", [type: "object"] do
    indexes "name", type: "string"
    indexes "nick_name", type: "string"
  end
end

{ :ok, status, body } = Tirexs.Mapping.create_resource(index)

Then let's populate an articles index:

import Tirexs.Bulk
require Tirexs.ElasticSearch

settings = Tirexs.ElasticSearch.config()

Tirexs.Bulk.store [index: "articles", refresh: true], settings do
  create id: 1, title: "One", tags: ["elixir"], type: "article"
  create id: 2, title: "Two", tags: ["elixir", "ruby"], type: "article"
  create id: 3, title: "Three", tags: ["java"], type: "article"
  create id: 4, title: "Four", tags: ["erlang"], type: "article"
end

Now, let's go further. We will be searching for articles whose title begins with letter “T”, sorted by title in descending order, filtering them for ones tagged “elixir”, and also retrieving some facets:

import Tirexs.Search
require Tirexs.Query

articles = search [index: "articles"] do
  query do
    string "title:T*"
  end

  filter do
    terms "tags", ["elixir", "ruby"]
  end

  facets do
    global_tags [global: true] do
      terms field: "tags"
    end

    current_tags do
      terms field: "tags"
    end
  end

  sort do
    [
      [title: "desc"]
    ]
  end
end

result = Tirexs.Query.create_resource(articles)

Enum.each Tirexs.Query.result(result, :hits), fn(item) ->
  IO.puts inspect(item)
  #=> [{"_index","articles"},{"_type","article"},{"_id","2"},{"_score",1.0},{"_source",[{"id",2}, {"title","Two"},{"tags",["elixir","r uby"]},{"type","article"}]}]
end

Let's display the global facets:

Enum.each Tirexs.Query.result(result, :facets).global_tags.terms, fn(f) ->
  IO.puts "#{f.term}    #{f.count}"
end

#=> elixir  2
#=> ruby    1
#=> java    1
#=> erlang  1

Now, let's display the facets based on current query (notice that count for articles tagged with 'java' is included, even though it's not returned by our query; count for articles tagged 'erlang' is excluded, since they don't match the current query):

Enum.each Tirexs.Query.result(result, :facets).current_tags.terms, fn(f) ->
  IO.puts "#{f.term}    #{f.count}"
end

#=> ruby    1
#=> java    1
#=> elixir  1

In the end, a snippet about using a Percolator (check out the examples/percolator.exs)

percolator = percolator [index: "my-index", name: 1] do
  query do
    match "message",  "bonsai tree"
  end
end

{_, _, body} = Tirexs.Percolator.create_resource(percolator, settings)

percolator = percolator [index: "my-index", type: "message"] do
  doc do
    [[message: "A new bonsai tree in the office"]]
  end
end

{_, _, body} = Tirexs.Percolator.match(percolator, settings)
