Help for an ES noob?

Ahoy ahoy,

I'm really interested in ElasticSearch but I'm having some trouble.
Specifically:

  • I'm trying to write some tests that drive the API (mostly for my own
    discovery and understanding), but can't find the javadocs online, in the
    download, or when I build the distribution.
  • I get runtime exceptions when I use the Groovy API per the guide [1].
  • I can build a local distribution (running "gradlew"), but running any
    gradle target fails [2].

My setup is: Mac OS X 10.5.8, ElasticSearch 0.16.2, gradle 0.8, groovy 1.7,
Java 1.6.0_24_blah-blah.

I'll keep snooping around and tinkering, and thanks in advance for any help
you can provide!

Best,
Rich

Are you sure you are using the correct version? I think you got things mixed up, teh groovy code you are running is not 0.16.2. Why not use directly the 0.16.2 distribution?

Yes, I'm sure I'm using the 0.16.2 distro (the 0.16.2 jar is on my
classpath). That said, the groovy snippet below is directly from the Groovy
API pagehttp://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/groovy-api/client.htmlon
the ES website.

Perhaps I just need access to the latest javadocs/groovydocs. Are they
published somewhere?

You can get the javadocs from the maven repo, but it seems like you are using an older jar of the lang-groovy integration.

Thanks so much Shay. I'll double-check my groovy jar and grab those
javadocs. Keep up the good work!
