Hello Shay, I have a years using compass, now I see elasticsearch, I want to play with it. With ElasticSearch I could do: 1. in "search" return a json structure different from the index?. Example: index: { "User": "kimchy" "PostData": "2009-11-15T14: 12:12" "Message": "trying out Elastic Search" } and search: { "\_shards": { "Total": 5, "Successful": 5, "Failed": 0 } "Hits": { "Total": 1, "Hits": [ { "\_index": "Twitter" "\_type": "Tweet" "\_id": "1" "\_source": { "User": "kimchy" "Today": "2010-04-15T14: 12:12", / / calculated dynamically, today's date "Message": "trying out Elastic Search" "Days": 180 / / calculated dynamically, the rest of today-postData } } ] } } Moreover, in some cases might omit some control information, do not send "\_index", "\_type", and "\_id". This is possible? 1. I'm thinking that elasticsearch respond directly to requests from a browser. A website made jsonp requests to search in elasticsearch, and respond json for rendering in browser with PURE ([http://beebole.com/pure/](http://beebole.com/pure/)) Think this solution is viable Thanks, and sorry for my language mistakes ---

Hi, Regarding the first question, I am thinking of something very similar to enable in elasticsearch. Basically, allow to augment the results with more information. I have an idea on how to do this, but it will be at least 0.8 before I will try and tackle this. For now, you can front elasticsearch with your own server that augments the data. cheers, shay.banon On Wed, Apr 21, 2010 at 5:41 AM, tfreitas [tfreitas@gmail.com](mailto:tfreitas@gmail.com) wrote: > Hello Shay, > > I have a years using compass, now I see elasticsearch, I want to play > with it. > > With Elasticsearch I could do: > > 1. in "search" return a json structure different from the index?. > > Example: > index: > { > "User": "kimchy" > "PostData": "2009-11-15T14: 12:12" > "Message": "trying out Elastic Search" > } > > and search: > { > "\_shards": { > "Total": 5, > "Successful": 5, > "Failed": 0 > } > "Hits": { > "Total": 1, > "Hits": [ > { > "\_index": "Twitter" > "\_type": "Tweet" > "\_id": "1" > "\_source": { > "User": "kimchy" > "Today": "2010-04-15T14: 12:12", / / calculated > dynamically, today's date > "Message": "trying out Elastic Search" > "Days": 180 / / calculated dynamically, the rest > of today-postData > } > } > ] > } > } > > Moreover, in some cases might omit some control information, do not > send "\_index", "\_type", and "\_id".

What do you think about having "templates" response on the server?. Could do this as a module in elasticsearch?

This can be done, but will be less powerful then what I suggested since in the template, you will only have access to the response you got, and not additional data (for example, when searching). This can also be developed as a plugin, btw. cheers, shay.banon On Thu, Apr 22, 2010 at 5:02 AM, tfreitas [tfreitas@gmail.com](mailto:tfreitas@gmail.com) wrote: > What do you think about having "templates" response on the server?. > Could do this as a module in elasticsearch? > > On Apr 21, 1:35 pm, Shay Banon [shay.ba...@elasticsearch.com](mailto:shay.ba...@elasticsearch.com) wrote: > > > Hi, > > > > Regarding the first question, I am thinking of something very similar to > > enable in elasticsearch.

ok, I'm going to use a server front, and watch out for this functionality you mention, would be great.
