Hello I have some difficulty getting started with the Elastic Search Ruby client. Could you someone please point me to documentation or example implementations. I am having difficulty from moving from Tire to ES ruby client. Does the ES ruby client have similar callbacks and that tire provides. Also where can I learn the syntax of mappings like I use in Tire. One of the problems I have with Tire is that it tries to connect to the ES cluster each time I start the console, which slows the application down and also cause connection issues if the some people in my group don't have access to the ES cluster from various networks they use. Does ES ruby client also try and connect to the cluster each time the application starts? If yes, is there a way to avoid that? Also, in any case, is there a way to avoid Tire from connecting to the cluster each time on startup.

Hi Karan, Regarding the Ruby client; did you see the docs in the github repo? > **[GitHub - elastic/elasticsearch-ruby: Ruby integrations for Elasticsearch](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch-ruby)** > > Ruby integrations for Elasticsearch.

Hi, I have some difficulty getting started with the Elastic Search Ruby client. > Could you someone please point me to documentation or example > implementations. I am having difficulty from moving from Tire to ES ruby > client. you cannot, in fact "move" from Tire to the new Elasticsearch Ruby client ([GitHub - elastic/elasticsearch-ruby: Ruby integrations for Elasticsearch](https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-ruby)). Tire and the client have quite different scopes and focus: the new client is focused on the low layers such as transport, API calls, etc. There will be a suite of gems offering similar features of Tire soon, namely the ActiveRecord/Model and Rails integration, automatic callbacks, importing routines, etc. > One of the problems I have with Tire is that it tries to connect to the ES > cluster each time I start the console, which slows the application down and > also cause connection issues if the some people in my group don't have > access to the ES cluster from various networks they use. Could you describe this issue in more detail, preferably at Github issues for Tire? Tire indeed tries to connect to the cluster (to check whether it should create an index for your model, etc), but this shouldn't result in any "connection issues" or other errors. > Also, in any case, is there a way to avoid Tire from connecting to the > cluster each time on startup. Again, unless you've discovered a bug this shouldn't be an issue. Karel -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

Karel Thanks for your response. When are the suite of Gems planned to be released? Regarding Tire connecting to the cluster, it was not a bug. I want to understand why is it necessary to check whether there's an index for the model. Can we avoid this check?
