This isn't the first release of Wabisabi, but I've never announced it on the list so maybe it's the first you've heard of it. 🙂 Wabisabi [https://github.com/gphat/wabisabi](https://github.com/gphat/wabisabi) is a Scala client for ElasticSearch. It uses the REST API so it has no dependency on ElasticSearch itself in terms of jars. It interesting in two more ways: - It is asynchronous by way of the dispatch HTTP library[http://dispatch.databinder.net/Dispatch.html](http://dispatch.databinder.net/Dispatch.html) . - It does not care about JSON and works only with Strings. It leaves the JSON library choice to you! You can find it on GitHub [https://github.com/gphat/wabisabi](https://github.com/gphat/wabisabi), add it as a dep [https://github.com/gphat/wabisabi#using-it](https://github.com/gphat/wabisabi#using-it) to sbt, and read the API docs [http://gphat.github.io/wabisabi/api/index.html#package](http://gphat.github.io/wabisabi/api/index.html#package). File a ticket[https://github.com/gphat/wabisabi/issues](https://github.com/gphat/wabisabi/issues)if you find a bug or a missing feature. I might even fix the bug or implement the feature! 🙂 The most recent version (2.0.8) has support for ElasticSearch's bulk API[http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/docs-bulk.html](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/docs-bulk.html). This week also saw Wabisabi added to the list of community support client libraries for Scala[http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/community/current/clients.html#community-scala](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/community/current/clients.html#community-scala) .
