Is there a place I can get a complete reference of Java API. I am looking at [http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/java-api/current/index\_.html](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/java-api/current/index_.html) but it looks like it doesn't provide complete guide. For instance how do I know if a document was indexed successfully using IndexResponse object? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

There is no complete reference for the Java API. Better documentation is coming from the elasticsearch team, but I am not sure if that includes anything about the Java API (I have a feeling it will focus on using the REST API). My method for understanding the Java API is to view both the tests and the various REST actions: [https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/tree/master/src/test/java/org/elasticsearch](https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/tree/master/src/test/java/org/elasticsearch) [https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/tree/master/src/main/java/org/elasticsearch/rest/action](https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/tree/master/src/main/java/org/elasticsearch/rest/action) In your case, perhaps IndexActionTests can help: > Cheers, Ivan On Thu, Nov 7, 2013 at 5:36 PM, Mohit Anchlia [mohitanchlia@gmail.com](mailto:mohitanchlia@gmail.com)wrote: > Is there a place I can get a complete reference of Java API.
