I am not very clear on how to do this, I have the following scenario: My data/docs are indexed using scala native Java API. - I would like to use the REST http API to access ES, What I would like to understand is how can I query ES server from my web application written in Java Script, are there any existing APIs that I can use with Java Script? I understand that I can't use curl for instance with javaScript. - What's the best approach to this in order to make the solution/code maintainable and scalable? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
