Hi,

just wanted to announce a tiny project: estab, which helps to export  
document fields as tab separated values (TSV). It's nothing curl + jq[1]  
couldn't do, it's just a bit simpler to use. Hope you like it.

Best,  
Martin

The plugin is for CSV output and works like the \_search endpoint.

For TSV, minor adjustments can be applied to the source, or you can use  
LibreOffice for export/import.

Hi Jörg,

Thanks, didn't know about that plugin! I installed it on Elasticsearch  
1.3.2, it registers fine, but the URL is not available; maybe I am doing[1]  
it wrong?

Cheers,  
Martin

Thanks for the quick fix, it works now. Just a minor issue with nested  
field values (e.g. "institution.address.street" or the like), but I'll  
probably open a issue on GH for that.

Cheers,  
Martin
