Official low-level client for Elasticsearch. Its 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. The full documentation is available at http://elasticsearch-py.rtfd.org/
It can be installed with:
pip install elasticsearch
There are two branches for development - master and 0.4. Master branch is used to track all the changes for Elasticsearch 1.0 and beyond whereas 0.4 tracks Elasticsearch 0.90.
Releases with major version 1 (1.X.Y) are to be used with Elasticsearch 1.* and later, 0.4 releases are meant to work with Elasticsearch 0.90.*.
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'}
**Note**
All the API calls map the raw REST api as closely as possible,
including the distinction between required and optional arguments to
the calls. This means that the code makes distinction between
positional and keyword arguments; we, however, recommend that people
use keyword arguments for all calls for consistency and safety.
