Hi, What is the right place to hook into ES aggregator node and: - intercept and look at the response - do some other work (e.g. look up some external data, run another query, etc.) - and then modify the original response before returning it to the caller ? ## Thanks, Otis Search Analytics - [http://sematext.com/search-analytics/index.html](http://sematext.com/search-analytics/index.html) Performance Monitoring - [http://sematext.com/spm/index.html](http://sematext.com/spm/index.html) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

Hi, Jörg wrote about a custom rest action on [http://jprante.github.io/lessons/2012/03/27/Writing-a-simple-plugin-for-Elasticsearch.html](http://jprante.github.io/lessons/2012/03/27/Writing-a-simple-plugin-for-Elasticsearch.html) , but is there really nothing else that can be done to plug some custom logic/code that acts on data in the response and adds something to it? ## Thanks, Otis Search Analytics - [Cloud Monitoring Tools & Services | Sematext](http://sematext.com/search-analytics/index.html) Performance Monitoring - [Sematext Monitoring | Infrastructure Monitoring Service](http://sematext.com/spm/index.html) On Friday, June 21, 2013 8:52:36 PM UTC-4, Otis Gospodnetic wrote: > Hi, > > What is the right place to hook into ES aggregator node and: > > - intercept and look at the response > - do some other work (e.g. look up some external data, run another query, > etc.) > - and then modify the original response before returning it to the caller > > ? > > ## Thanks, Otis > > Search Analytics - [Cloud Monitoring Tools & Services | Sematext](http://sematext.com/search-analytics/index.html) > Performance Monitoring - [Sematext Monitoring | Infrastructure Monitoring Service](http://sematext.com/spm/index.html) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

From what I can tell, new query types (request/response) are pluggable, but nothing like Solr's request handlers. Still hoping for a facet refactor and that said refactor leads to some overall query side refactor. -- Ivan On Fri, Jun 28, 2013 at 9:01 AM, Otis Gospodnetic \< [otis.gospodnetic@gmail.com](mailto:otis.gospodnetic@gmail.com)\> wrote: > Hi, > > Jörg wrote about a custom rest action on > [http://jprante.github.io/lessons/2012/03/27/Writing-a-simple-plugin-for-Elasticsearch.html](http://jprante.github.io/lessons/2012/03/27/Writing-a-simple-plugin-for-Elasticsearch.html), but is there really nothing else that can be done to plug some custom > logic/code that acts on data in the response and adds something to it? > > ## Thanks, Otis > > Search Analytics - [http://sematext.com/search-\*\*analytics/index.html](http://sematext.com/search-**analytics/index.html)[http://sematext.com/search-analytics/index.html](http://sematext.com/search-analytics/index.html) > Performance Monitoring - [Sematext Monitoring | Infrastructure Monitoring Service](http://sematext.com/spm/**index.html)[http://sematext.com/spm/index.html](http://sematext.com/spm/index.html) > > On Friday, June 21, 2013 8:52:36 PM UTC-4, Otis Gospodnetic wrote: > > > Hi, > > > > What is the right place to hook into ES aggregator node and: > > > > - intercept and look at the response > > - do some other work (e.g. look up some external data, run another query, > > etc.) > > - and then modify the original response before returning it to the caller > > > > ? > > > > ## Thanks, Otis > > > > Search Analytics - [http://sematext.com/search-\*\*analytics/index.html](http://sematext.com/search-**analytics/index.html)[http://sematext.com/search-analytics/index.html](http://sematext.com/search-analytics/index.html) > > Performance Monitoring - [Sematext Monitoring | Infrastructure Monitoring Service](http://sematext.com/spm/**index.html)[http://sematext.com/spm/index.html](http://sematext.com/spm/index.html) > > > > -- > > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > > "elasticsearch" group. > > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > > email to [elasticsearch+unsubscribe@googlegroups.com](mailto:elasticsearch+unsubscribe@googlegroups.com). > > For more options, visit [https://groups.google.com/groups/opt\_out](https://groups.google.com/groups/opt_out). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
