NAME

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

SYNOPSIS

       # From the command line

       # Import data into ElasticSearch
       $ catmandu import JSON to ElasticSearch --index-name 'catmandu' < data.json

       # Export data from ElasticSearch
       $ catmandu export ElasticSearch --index-name 'catmandu' to JSON > data.json

       # Export only one record
       $ catmandu export ElasticSearch --index-name 'catmandu' --id 1234

       # Export using an ElasticSearch query
       $ catmandu export ElasticSearch --index-name 'catmandu' --query "name:Recruitment OR name:college"

       # Export using a CQL query (needs a CQL mapping)
       $ catmandu export ElasticSearch --index-name 'catmandu' --q "name any college"

       # From Perl

       use Catmandu;

       my $store = Catmandu->store('ElasticSearch', 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;

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

       $store->bag->delete_all;

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

       # Query the store using a simple ElasticSearch query
       my $hits = $store->bag->search(query => '(content:this OR name:this) AND (content:that OR name:that)');

       # Native queries are also supported by providing a hash of terms
       # See the ElasticSearch manual for more examples
       my $hits = $store->bag->search(
           query => {
               # All name.exact fields that start with 'test'
               prefix => {
                   'name.exact' => 'test'
               }
           } ,
           limit => 1000);

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

METHODS

new(index_name => $name, [...])

new(index_name => $name , index_mapping => \%map, [...])

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

   Create a new Catmandu::Store::ElasticSearch store connected to index
   $name. Optional extra ElasticSearch connection parameters will be
   passed on to the backend database.

   Optionally provide an index_mapping which contains a ElasticSearch
   schema for each field in the index (See below).

   Optionally provide for each bag a cql_mapping to map fields to CQL
   indexes.

drop

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

INDEX MAP

   The index_mapping contains a Elasticsearch schema mappings for each bag
   defined in the index. E.g.

       {
           data => {
               properties => {
                   _id => {
                       type           => 'string',
                       include_in_all => 'true',
                       index          => 'not_analyzed'
                   } ,
                   title => {
                       type           => 'string'
                   }
               }
           }
       }

   In the example above the default 'data' bag of the ElasticSearch
   contains an '_id' field of type 'string' which is stored automatically
   also in the '_all' search field. The '_id' is not analyzed. The bag
   also contains a 'title' field of type string.

   See
   https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/2.2/mapping.html
   for more information on mappings.

   These mappings can be passed inside a Perl program, or be written into
   a Catmandu 'catmandu.yml' configuration file. E.g.

      # catmandu.yml
      store:
          search:
             package: ElasticSearch
             options:
               index_name: catmandu
               index_mappings
                 data:
                   properties:
                       _id:
                           type: string
                           include_in_all: true
                           index: not_analyzed
                       title:
                           type: string

   Via the command line these configuration parameters can be read in by
   using the name of the store, search in this case:

      $ catmandu import JSON to search < data.json
      $ catmandu export search to JSON > data.json

CQL MAP

   Catmandu::Store::ElasticSearch supports CQL searches when a cql_mapping
   is provided for each bag. This hash contains a translation of CQL
   fields into Elasticsearch searchable fields.

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

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

   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 callback field cb contains a reference to subroutines to rewrite or
   augment a search query. In this case, the Biblio::Search package
   contains a normalize_title subroutine which returns a string or an
   ARRAY of strings 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;

   Also this configuration can be added to a catmandu.yml configuration
   file like:

       # catmandu.yml
       store:
           search:
              package: ElasticSearch
              options:
                index_name: catmandu
                index_mappings
                  data:
                    properties:
                        _id:
                            type: string
                            include_in_all: true
                            index: not_analyzed
                        title:
                            type: string
                bags:
                  data:
                     cql_mapping:
                       indexes:
                           title:
                               op:
                                   'any': true
                                   'all': true
                                   '=':   true
                                   '<>':  true
                                   'exact':
                                       field: [ 'mytitle.exact' , 'myalttitle.exact' ]
                               field: mytitle
                               sort: true
                               cb: [ 'Biblio::Search' , 'normalize_title' ]
                       }

   Via the command line these configuration parameters can be read in by
   using the name of the store, search in this case:

      $ catmandu export search -q 'title any blablabla' to JSON > data.json

COMPATIBILITY

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

   To talk to older versions of Elasticsearch the approriate client should
   be installed.

       # Elasticsearch 2.x
       cpanm Search::Elasticsearch::Client::2_0::Direct
       # Elasticsearch 1.x
       cpanm Search::Elasticsearch::Client::1_0::Direct

   And the client version should be specified in the options:

       Catmandu::Store::ElasticSearch->new(index_name => 'myindex', client => '1_0::Direct')

   Note that Elasticsearch >= 2.0 doesn't allow keys that start with an
   underscore such as _id. You can use the key_prefix option at store
   level or id_prefix at bag level to handle this.

       # in your catmandu.yml
       store:
         yourstore:
           package: ElasticSearch
           options:
             # use my_id instead of _id
             key_prefix: my_

   If you want to use the delete_by_query method with Elasticsearch >= 2.0
   you need have to install the delete by query plugin
   <https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/plugins/current/plugins-delete-by-query.html>.

MIGRATING A STORE FROM ELASTICSEARCH 1.0 TO 2.0 OR HIGHER

   1. backup your data as JSON

       catmandu export yourstore --bag yourbag to --file /path/to/yourbag.json -v

   2. drop the store

       catmandu drop yourstore

   3. upgrade the Elasticsearch server

   4. update your catmandu.yml with a key_prefix or id_prefix (see
   COMPATIBILITY)

   5. import your data using the new keys specified in your catmandu.yml

       catmandu import --file /path/to/yourbag.json --fix 'move_field(_id, my_id)' \
       to yourstore --bag yourbag -v

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) = @_;
       }
