NAME

Catmandu::Store::Elasticsearch - A searchable store backed by
Elasticsearch

SYNOPSIS

use Catmandu::Store::Elasticsearch;

my $store = Catmandu::Store::Elasticsearch->new(index_name => 'catmandu');

my $obj1 = $store->bag->add({ name => 'Patrick' });

printf "obj1 stored as %s\n" , $obj1->{_id};

# Force an id in the store
my $obj2 = $store->bag->add({ _id => 'test123' , name => 'Nicolas' });

# Commit all changes
$store->bag->commit;

my $obj3 = $store->bag->get('test123');

$store->bag->delete('test123');

$store->bag->delete_all;

# All bags are iterators
$store->bag->each(sub { ... });
$store->bag->take(10)->each(sub { ... });

# Some stores can be searched
my $hits = $store->bag->search(query => 'name:Patrick');

# Catmandu::Store::Elasticsearch supports CQL...
my $hits = $store->bag->search(cql_query => 'name any "Patrick"');

METHODS

new(index_name => $name)

new(index_name => $name , bags => { data => { cql_mapping => \%mapping }
})

new(index_name => $name , index_mapping => $mapping)

Create a new Catmandu::Store::ElasticSearch store connected to index
$name.

The store supports CQL searches when a cql_mapping is provided. This
hash contains a translation of CQL fields into Elasticsearch searchable
fields.

# Example mapping
$cql_mapping = {
title => {
op => {
'any' => 1 ,
'all' => 1 ,
'=' => 1 ,
'<>' => 1 ,
'exact' => {field => [qw(mytitle.exact myalttitle.exact)]}
} ,
sort => 1,
field => 'mytitle',
cb => ['Biblio::Search', 'normalize_title']
}
}

The CQL mapping above will support for the 'title' field the CQL
operators: any, all, =, <> and exact.

For all the operators the 'title' field will be mapping into the
Elasticsearch field 'mytitle', except for the 'exact' operator. In case
of 'exact' we will search both the 'mytitle.exact' and
'myalttitle.exact' fields.

The CQL mapping allows for sorting on the 'title' field. If, for
instance, we would like to use a special Elasticsearch field for
sorting we could have written "sort => { field => 'mytitle.sort' }".

The CQL has an optional callback field 'cb' which contains a reference
to subroutines to rewrite or augment the search query. In this case, in
the Biblio::Search package there is a normalize_title subroutine which
returns a string or an ARRAY of string with augmented title(s). E.g.

package Biblio::Search;

sub normalize_title {
my ($self,$title) = @_;
my $new_title =~ s{[^A-Z0-9]+}{}g;
$new_title;
}

1;

Optionally, index_mappings contain Elastic Search schema mappings. E.g.

# The 'data' index can ony contain one field 'title' of type 'string'
index_mappings => {
data => {
dynamic => 'strict',
properties => {
title => { type => 'string' }
}
}
}

drop

Deletes the elasticsearch index backing this store. Calling functions
after this may fail until this class is reinstantiated, creating a new
index.

COMPATIBILITY

This store expects version 1.0 or higher of the Elasticsearch server.

ERROR HANDLING

Error handling can be activated by specifying an error handling
callback for index when creating a store. E.g. to create an error
handler for the bag 'data' index use:

my $store = Catmandu::Store::ElasticSearch->new(
index_name => 'catmandu'
bags => { data => { on_error => \&error_handler } }
});

sub error_handler {
my ($action,$response,$i) = @_;
}
