What kind of queries would you want to be performing ? If you just want to search for any record containing the search terms you pass, then you can just index the CSV records as single strings. You still need to wrap them in a JSON "document", but it can be {"record":"csv-record-thingy"}. If you want to be able to search or return specific fields, you'll have to convert the CSV records into JSON objects like: {"field1": "value1", "field2", "value2", ...} or whatever your field names are. -- Raffaele On Fri, Feb 28, 2014 at 5:07 PM, [vb2008a@gmail.com](mailto:vb2008a@gmail.com) wrote: > I am a nebiew to Elasticsearch.

If you just want to search for any record containing the search terms you pass, then you can just index the CSV records as single strings. You still need to wrap them in a JSON "document", but it can be {"record":"csv-record-thingy"}. If you want to be able to search or return specific fields, you'll have to convert the CSV records into JSON objects like: {"field1": "value1", "field2", "value2", ...} or whatever your field names are. -- Raffaele On Fri, Feb 28, 2014 at 5:07 PM, [vb2...@gmail.com](mailto:vb2...@gmail.com) wrote: I am a nebiew to elastic search.
