I have 2 applications, one from which I am putting data into elasticsearch cluster and one UI, which enables one to search from the same elasticsearch cluster. Currently, I have two separate code repos where some similar code is present (like ES client connection, indexing, etc). Is it a good idea to make elasticsearch as a REST service which can provide can provide basic get and put functionalities? Is there some work already done for the same? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

Elasticsearch is a RESTful service, what exactly are you wanting to do? Also there are a number of official clients that already handle lots of things, I'd suggest you look at those.
