Do I need the JDBC driver

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
21

Elasticsearch is no different than any other data store: your application
can add data by using the prescribed methods. Every data store has some
sort of data input method. Elasticsearch allows river plugins, which mean
that the Elasticsearch process can pull data instead of the standard push
model. The pull model is usually employed when two data sources should be
in sync (CouchDB, RDBMS).

I would stick to the standard push model. Have your client application
index data via the PHP library.

Cheers,

Ivan

I would strongly prefer to maintain control of the indexing side and not
in Elasticsearch. In fact, the Elasticsearch team has talked about
deprecating river plugins. I do not have any numbers, but I would suspect
that the majority of users do not use a river plugin. And yes, the correct
term is the JDBC plugin, not driver. The wrong term confused many. :slight_smile:

You can use either style, it is a matter of taste, or convenience.

With the JDBC plugin, you can also push data instead of pull.

I want to close this issue but I still do not understand if I should be
pushing documents from my database using the PHP client or using the JDBC
river to pull them into elasticsearch from the SQL database.

They can both achieve the same thing, but what is the usecase which
defines when is the right time to use each implementation.

Hi,

I'm setting up a system where I have a main SQL database which is
synced with elasticsearch. My plan is to use the main PHP library for
elasticsearch.

I was going to have a cron run every thirty minuets to check for items
in my database that not only have an "active" flag but that also do not
have an "indexed" flag, that means I need to add them to the index. Then I
was going to add that item to the index. Since I am using taking this path,
it doesn't seem like I need the JDBC driver, as I can add items to
elasticsearch using the PHP library.

So, my question is, can I get away without using the JDBC driver?
