Can ElasticSearch call a webservice that returns a JSON document? If so, what would the call look like? Thanks.. new to ElasticSearch and hoping to make good use of it. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

Can you elaborate a bit more your use case? Why don't you call directly your webservice from client side? -- David 😉 Twitter : @dadoonet / @elasticsearchfr / @scrutmydocs Le 10 avr. 2013 à 03:53, OffensivelyBad [shawnroller10@gmail.com](mailto:shawnroller10@gmail.com) a écrit : Can ElasticSearch call a webservice that returns a JSON document? ## If so, what would the call look like?

Trying to determine the best method for getting data into Elasticsearch from an existing SQL Server DB. There is an existing setup that allows other applications to pass parameters to a webservice via the HTML and that webservice calls stored procedures in SQL Server and returns the results in the specified format. I was hoping to be able to use this same method to get data with Elasticsearch because everything is currently set up this way. If Elasticsearch is unable, I'll have to look into developing an app that can assist. FYI, I am unable to use JDBC with the database due to security restrictions.
