# Elastic

**This is a development branch that is actively being worked on. DO NOT USE IN PRODUCTION!**

Elastic is an [Elasticsearch](http://www.elasticsearch.org/) client for the
[Go](http://www.golang.org/) programming language.

## Releases

**The release branches (e.g. [`release-branch.v6`](https://github.com/olivere/elastic/tree/release-branch.v6))
are actively being worked on and can break at any time.
If you want to use stable versions of Elastic, please use a dependency manager like [dep](https://github.com/golang/dep).**

Here's the version matrix:

Elasticsearch version | Elastic version  | Package URL | Remarks |
----------------------|------------------|-------------|---------|
6.x                   | 6.0              | [`github.com/olivere/elastic`](https://github.com/olivere/elastic) ([source](https://github.com/olivere/elastic/tree/release-branch.v6) [doc](http://godoc.org/github.com/olivere/elastic)) | Use a dependency manager (see below).
5.x                   | 5.0              | [`gopkg.in/olivere/elastic.v5`](https://gopkg.in/olivere/elastic.v5) ([source](https://github.com/olivere/elastic/tree/release-branch.v5) [doc](http://godoc.org/gopkg.in/olivere/elastic.v5)) | Actively maintained.

**Example:**

You have installed Elasticsearch 6.0.0 and want to use Elastic.
As listed above, you should use Elastic 6.0.

To use the required version of Elastic in your application, it is strongly
advised to use a tool like
[dep](https://github.com/golang/dep)
or
[Glide](https://glide.sh/)
to manage that dependency. Make sure to use a version such as `^6.0.0`.

To use Elastic, simply import:

```go
import "github.com/olivere/elastic"
```

### Elastic 6.0

Elastic 6.0 targets Elasticsearch 6.x which was [released on 14th November 2017](https://www.elastic.co/blog/elasticsearch-6-0-0-released).

Notice that there are will be a lot of [breaking changes in Elasticsearch 6.0](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.0/breaking-changes-6.0.html)
and we used this as an opportunity to [clean up and refactor Elastic](https://github.com/olivere/elastic/blob/release-branch.v6/CHANGELOG-6.0.md)
as we did in the transition from earlier versions of Elastic.

### Elastic 5.0

Elastic 5.0 targets Elasticsearch 5.0.0 and later. Elasticsearch 5.0.0 was
[released on 26th October 2016](https://www.elastic.co/blog/elasticsearch-5-0-0-released).

Notice that there are will be a lot of [breaking changes in Elasticsearch 5.0](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/5.0/breaking-changes-5.0.html)
and we used this as an opportunity to [clean up and refactor Elastic](https://github.com/olivere/elastic/blob/release-branch.v5/CHANGELOG-5.0.md)
as we did in the transition from Elastic 2.0 (for Elasticsearch 1.x) to Elastic 3.0 (for Elasticsearch 2.x).

Furthermore, the jump in version numbers will give us a chance to be in sync with the Elastic Stack.

### Elastic 3.0

Elastic 3.0 targets Elasticsearch 2.x and is published via [`gopkg.in/olivere/elastic.v3`](https://gopkg.in/olivere/elastic.v3).

Elastic 3.0 will only get critical bug fixes. You should update to a recent version.

### Elastic 2.0

Elastic 2.0 targets Elasticsearch 1.x and is published via [`gopkg.in/olivere/elastic.v2`](https://gopkg.in/olivere/elastic.v2).

Elastic 2.0 will only get critical bug fixes. You should update to a recent version.

### Elastic 1.0

Elastic 1.0 is deprecated. You should really update Elasticsearch and Elastic
to a recent version.

However, if you cannot update for some reason, don't worry. Version 1.0 is
still available. All you need to do is go-get it and change your import path
as described above.


## Status

We use Elastic in production since 2012. Elastic is stable but the API changes
now and then. We strive for API compatibility.
However, Elasticsearch sometimes introduces [breaking changes](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/master/breaking-changes.html)
and we sometimes have to adapt.

Having said that, there have been no big API changes that required you
to rewrite your application big time. More often than not it's renaming APIs
and adding/removing features so that Elastic is in sync with Elasticsearch.

Elastic has been used in production with the following Elasticsearch versions:
0.90, 1.0-1.7, and 2.0-2.4.1. Furthermore, we use [Travis CI](https://travis-ci.org/)
to test Elastic with the most recent versions of Elasticsearch and Go.
See the [.travis.yml](https://github.com/olivere/elastic/blob/master/.travis.yml)
file for the exact matrix and [Travis](https://travis-ci.org/olivere/elastic)
for the results.

Elasticsearch has quite a few features. Most of them are implemented
by Elastic. I add features and APIs as required. It's straightforward
to implement missing pieces. I'm accepting pull requests :-)

Having said that, I hope you find the project useful.


## Getting Started

The first thing you do is to create a [Client](https://github.com/olivere/elastic/blob/master/client.go).
The client connects to Elasticsearch on `http://127.0.0.1:9200` by default.

You typically create one client for your app. Here's a complete example of
creating a client, creating an index, adding a document, executing a search etc.

An example is available [here](https://olivere.github.io/elastic/).

Here's a [link to a complete working example for v3](https://gist.github.com/olivere/114347ff9d9cfdca7bdc0ecea8b82263).

See the [wiki](https://github.com/olivere/elastic/wiki) for more details.

A pattern for [efficiently scrolling in parallel](https://github.com/olivere/elastic/wiki/ScrollParallel)
is described in the [Wiki](https://github.com/olivere/elastic/wiki).
