clj-elasticsearch is a fast and complete Clojure wrapper around the native Java Elasticsearch library. It allows some nifty things such as embedding the server directly inside your app, and is extensively documented. You can find some explanations on how and why the library was build at [http://theblankscreen.net/blog/2013/02/22/first-public-release-of-clj-elasticsearch/](http://theblankscreen.net/blog/2013/02/22/first-public-release-of-clj-elasticsearch/) and get the code here: [https://github.com/ngrunwald/clj-elasticsearch](https://github.com/ngrunwald/clj-elasticsearch).

I had started on some ideas in esperanto a couple years back for serialization between native ES requests/responses and Clojure data, but your reflection solution looks much, much better. Definitely reaching for it next time I need the Java API. -Drew -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

Thanks, glad you like it! Compared to esperanto, clj-elasticsearch is still missing the bulk operations, but I'll get there eventually. The wait-for-green function also seems like a great idea, I'll add something like that. Don't hesitate to make any remark you have on the library!
