Hi

I published my PHP client for elasticsearch named Elastica to github.  
The client is still in development but it I'm already using it in two  
installations. The difference to the PHP client from nervetattoo is  
that it integrates easily with Zend Framework. Some examples how to  
use the client can be found in the tests (more are coming).

The client can be found here:

Feedback and suggestions are always welcome.

soon).

I just created tag v0.1 [GitHub - ruflin/Elastica at v0.1](https://github.com/ruflin/Elastica/tree/v0.1)  
So now everyone is able to download a specific version and I can start  
to break things again 😉

Looks great!. One question based on the example, I don't see how bulk  
operation supports also deletes?

Bulk deleting can be done with the following code (based on the ids)

```
/**
 * Deletes documents with the given ids, index, type from the index
 *
 * @link http://www.elasticsearch.com/docs/elasticsearch/rest_api/bulk/
 * @param array $ids Document ids
 * @param string $index Index name
 * @param string $type Type of documents
 * @return Elastica_Response Response object
 * @throws Elastica_Exception If ids is empty
 */
public function deleteIds(array $ids, $index, $type) {

```

An example would be:  
$client-\>deleteIds(array(1, 7, 9), 'xodoa', 'user');

I will add that to the example with the next commit.

Thanks for pointing that out.

Nice. But, its still missing the capability in the bulk API to have both  
index and delete operations, on different indices and types. Maybe add it as  
an API on the Client?

You're right. This is not possible yet. For the next release I will  
probably add a function

function bulk(array $params);

in the Client object. Like this all params can be directly passed as  
nested array to the function like:

array(  
'delete' =\> array('\_index' =\> 'test', '\_type' =\> 'user', '\_id' =\>  
1),  
'index' =\> array(...

);

This should probably work.

If someone already now wants to use such a function, it is always  
possible to create own calls and call the request method:

return $this-\>request($path, Elastica\_Request::PUT, $query);

My example on top was not 100% correct. Please check the code

Great!, the ability to have index and delete mixed (and ordered) in the same  
bulk request is important, great that you enabled it. Note that the type in  
the index payload is optional (you don't have to provide the type as the top  
level json object), maybe it make sense to doc it.
