Hi All, I am new to Elastic Search. What I need is to insert data in to Elastic search using Java. I am not able to find any sample program to have as base that would help me connect to Elastic search. It would be great if any of you can guide me to appropriate links or post some sample code for the same.

Hi ganesh First create a ES client in your java application. ``` private org.elasticsearch.client.Client client; ``` Initialize it, (google Elasticsearch Node client, and Transport Client) ``` Settings settings = ImmutableSettings .settingsBuilder() .put("cluster.name","elasticsearchcluster") .build(); try{ client= new TransportClient(settings) .addTransportAddress(new ``` InetSocketTransportAddress("192.168.145.144",9300)); }catch(Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); } Create a indexRequest, with IndexName , Document Type ( + ID-optional ) , set it's source as the data that you want to index. Source can be either a map , or a string etc. IndexRequest indexRequest=new IndexRequest("indexName","documentType"); then execute the request by client.index(INDEXREQUEST).actionGet(); By exxecuting this request , if your index , "indexName" is not present , elasticsearch will create it automatically , with some default mapping for the document "documentType" you have sent to it to be indexed. You can batch multiple Reuests, using the Bulk Api , you can create/specify custom mappings for your document and control how individual fields are to be indexed , are they going to be stored or not etc, but the above part is just the basic level gist of getting you started. Hoping that this helps.

Thanks David for your reply. I felt that a sample java program (In complete) should prove really helpful along with the code snippets posted in the link.

Hi David, Tarang, I am stuck at this point. I think you provide some head up on this. I am getting NoNodeAvailableException. I have attached the screenshot of the same. What I inferred from the forums is that the cluster name can be entered wrongly because of which this exception can occur. I double checked by running the following command curl -XGET '[http://localhost:9200/\_cluster/health?pretty=true](http://localhost:9200/_cluster/health?pretty=true)' The java code is referring to the same as well. I am not sure where I am going wrong. I have attached the screenshot of the same. import org.elasticsearch.common.settings.\*; //all necessary imports class Test { public static void main(String args) { [//System.out.println](https://System.out.println)("Hello World"); Client client = null; // = new TransportClient(); Settings settings = ImmutableSettings .settingsBuilder() .put("cluster.name","elasticsearch") .build(); try{ client = new TransportClient(settings) .addTransportAddress(new InetSocketTransportAddress("localhost",9200)); } catch(Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); } //InetSocketAddress inst = new InetSocketAddress(InetAddress.getByName("127.0.0.1"),9200); [//client.addTransportAddress](https://client.addTransportAddress)(inst); try{ IndexResponse response = client.prepareIndex("twitter", "tweet", "1") .setSource(jsonBuilder() .startObject() .field("user", "kimchy") .field("postDate", new Date()) .field("message", "trying out Elastic Search") .endObject() ) .execute() .actionGet(); } catch(Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } On Tuesday, 4 June 2013 15:49:29 UTC-7, ganesh sainath wrote: > Hi All, > > I am new to Elastic Search. > > What I need is to insert data in to Elastic search using Java.
