Hi All, I am a newbie to (Elastic)Search engines. I want to use ElasticSearch for my website. I am done with the installation and done given twitter example indexing, it's working fine. Now to integrate with my website, what is the best way to store indexes. I mean, what is the best JSON format to use? And do I need to maintain entire my web page content as a JSON doc for indexing?? Thanks in advance. -Nehatha ---

either use the underlying database of your website to feed ES or if you don't have access to this DB use a crawler (like nutch) or write your own simple parser ... > what is the best JSON format to use What do you mean here? The mapping? url+title+text should be the minimum I guess 🙂 Regards, Peter.

Thank you for the reply Karussel. can you suggest best php/java api to feed ES that cares about index names and all. Thanks, Nehatha ---

Java API is already included in ES. For other clients: [http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/appendix/clients.html](http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/appendix/clients.html) ---
