Hi,
Is there a way to index rest web service (lets say that web service gives
some list of XML objects)..?
I am having a requirement to index the list of product details which will
be returned from a web service.
Any suggestions will be helpful to me.
Thanks,
Srinivas

I think in that case you will need a layer that parses and pushes data to
the elasticsearch index. Elasticsearch is a one purpose thing: index and
search 🙂
