Python Elasticsearch Client
===========================

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 Usage
-------------


.. testsetup::

    import os
    from datetime import datetime
    index_name = os.environ.get('ES_TEST_INDEX', 'test-index')
    from elasticsearch import Elasticsearch
    es = Elasticsearch()
    es.delete_index(index_name, ignore_missing=True)

.. testcode::

    from elasticsearch import Elasticsearch
    es = Elasticsearch()

    doc = {
        'author': 'kimchy', 
        'text': 'Elasticsearch: cool. bonsai cool.', 
        'timestamp': datetime(2010, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10)
    }
    res = es.index(index_name, 'tweet', doc, id=1)
    print(res['ok'])

    res = es.get(index_name, 1, doc_type='tweet')
    print(res['_source'])

    es.refresh(index_name)

    res = es.search('cool', index=index_name)
    print("Got %d Hits:" % res['hits']['total'])
    for hit in res['hits']['hits']:
        print("%(timestamp)s %(author)s: %(text)s" % hit["_source"])

.. testoutput::
    :hide:

    True
    {u'text': u'Elasticsearch: cool. bonsai cool.', u'author': u'kimchy', u'timestamp': u'2010-10-10T10:10:10'}
    Got 1 Hits:
    2010-10-10T10:10:10 kimchy: Elasticsearch: cool. bonsai cool.
