I want to use the bulk udp API with Python. I've got elasticsearch 0.4.2 installed. As far as I can tell from looking at the source, it doesn't support UDP. Is it there and I'm just not seeing it? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

Hi Roy, no, it does not support UDP, you can, however, use thrift that might help a bit ith performance.

Then probably UDP isn't the right answer... You should look at a queuing system....

I can accept that data is lost if elasticsearch goes down, but I can't accept that my app hangs, so UDP seems like the right answer to me. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

Well, you can also lose UDP without ES going down. But, hey, it's your app 🙂 On 17/10/2013 10:10 AM, "Roy Smith" [roysmith649@gmail.com](mailto:roysmith649@gmail.com) wrote: > On Tuesday, October 15, 2013 9:43:15 PM UTC-4, Norberto Meijome wrote: > > > Then probably UDP isn't the right answer...
