Hi all, I just pushed on github my last experiment: the elasticshell, a shell for elasticsearch. It's a javascript shell (written in Java) that allows to interact with a running elasticsearch cluster. It uses the elasticsearch Java API to do that, and it allows to execute either Java code or Javascript. For now I guess it lacks a bit of documentation, but hopefully you can give it a try. It has nice auto suggestions and should be easy to use if you are familiar with elasticsearch. You can find it here: [https://github.com/javanna/elasticshell](https://github.com/javanna/elasticshell). I would love to hear what you guys think about it! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

Luca, this is real amazing stuff! Just glanced over the source, will it be possible to integrate other ScriptEngines (JSR 223) beside Javascript? I think of Jython, JRuby, Groovy, Clojure ... I once was thinking of something like "Elasticsearch Server Pages" to let scripting language folks execute ES functions being embedded in a node, and extending the HTTP server in ES to something similar to the vert.x polyglot approach. But due to lack of spare time I never got closer than firing up ScriptEngines via a plugin...

this is so awesome, except for me, it's built for 0.20 (which does make sense), and I'm still using 0.19 in production.. ☹ I've started a fork to try to get it to work with ES 0.19.x series as well, but due to quite a few things appearing/moving/changing in ES 0.20 it's not something that is quickly done. But thanks for this, this will be super-useful!

Hi Jorg, glad you liked it. The main idea was to provide an environment that supports javascript and the java API as well (you can startup a node client if you want). The power is being able to write javascript code, but java code as well if you feel like. All of this works thanks to the Rhino engine. I care about JSON because of course it's the format supported by elasticsearch and working on a JSON friendly environment should help writing documents, queries and so on. From an elasticsearch perpective it's been more a matter of exposing clients wrappers / request builders and make them available as objects within the shell. But to achieve some of the functionalities (auto suggestions for example) I had to write some custom code on top of the Rhino engine. I used Rhino as an external dependency here, no JSR-223. I should be able to update it to use Nashorn later on, but I haven't considered other scripting languages for now, even though the Rhino dependent part is pretty isolated and it seems technically doable. I guess I'll see how many people will use it, what they'll need and what I can do to make it better.

Hi Paul, I managed to make it work with 0.19.12. Give it a try and let me know whether it works fine or you have issues with it! Beware that I had a short look and made the required changes but not extensively tested it 🙂 You can find a new branch on github or directly the zip file here: [http://www.javanna.net/downloads/elasticshell-0.19.12-SNAPSHOT.zip](http://www.javanna.net/downloads/elasticshell-0.19.12-SNAPSHOT.zip) . And...if you use it on production be careful with the delete index API as well as with the node shutdown...they are exposed and pretty dangerous as you may know. Have fun!

Great to hear! Let me know what you think after you tried it out then...there are for sure quite some things that can be improved. Also, your es2unix is impressive. The idea of getting rid of the json and show more understandable data is great. I just took another approach: using json in a json-friendly environment (with auto-complete and so on), even though I do realize it might not be ideal with big objects.

Wow, thank you! Yes the APIs are all exposed, including the dangerous ones, but no different to us than exposing a SSH port tunnel to use elasticsearch-head at times too. this is really helpful for ops folk used to command line tools, and general simple queries. thanks again!

Thanks for your feedback, all of you. Just to keep you posted, I released today the first beta versions, published the zip files on bintray (while the first snapshots were hosted on my website) and updated the README file accordingly. Have a look here: [GitHub - javanna/elasticshell: A javascript shell for elasticsearch](https://github.com/javanna/elasticshell). There are now two versions available, one for 0.19.x and one for 0.20.x. Give it a try and let me know how it went. I also plan to blog about it soon and add some documentation and examples.
