Hi all,

have anyone used the erlang client for elastic search as below:

> **[tsloughter/erlastic\_search](https://github.com/tsloughter/erlastic_search)**
>
> erlastic\_search - An Erlang app for communicating with Elastic Search's rest interface.

i am confused on how to use the erlang api, it would be great if there is example code to demo how to use it.

thanks,
